Rocks break windows at Winona DFL Headquarters

[CatholicEdHead]

Winona DFL party headquarters was vandalized early Wednesday when three rocks were thrown through its street-front windows.

Two of the rocks pierced a poster of President-elect Barack Obama, who was projected the winner of Tuesday’s presidential election just hours before the incident. DFL leaders suspect the timing indicates the vandal was upset by the election outcome.

“It’s a very overtly aggressive act, and it’s not how this country can move forward,” said Anne Morse, chairwoman of the Winona County DFL party. “It’s more than a shame � it’s a sign of a very troubled individual.”

Morse suspects the vandalism was planned, because the rocks were large and did not likely come from the sidewalk or street nearby the headquarters, 685 W. Fifth St. No one was in the building at the time.
