Windows at Washington, D.C. Republican Office Shot Out

[The Northerner]

WASHINGTON - Police are searching for suspects after someone shot-out windows at a Republican office in the District.

Police say the vandalism occurred on Tuesday night. All of the windows of the officer were damaged.

The executive director of the Republican Committee says an air gun was probably used.

Police also say they found a ‘BB’ on the ground outside the office.

Workers believe the shooting was politically related.

1. Why do workers believe it was politically motivated?

I admit that I live in a more rural area, but around here windows get lost every so often to kids with air rifles. Frankly, I am surprised a "BB" could take out a storefront window.

2. They do this to themselves to make liberals look bad.

It's not like there haven't been prior stories about Republicans shooting out their own office windows or vandalizing their buildings and blaming the opposition.

4. I wouldn't put it past a member of the Tea Party to go after a merely conservative republican.

7. They really don't like us, do they?

If they are willing to go that far, which I have no doubt in my mind they would. They've done worse...much worse...

3. Not condoning it, but..........

If you sow the wind, you'll reap the whirlwind.

The people's anger has been REMARLABLY constrained up to now. I expect it to grow and take other forms the longer this goes on. Vandalism is merely ONE of the next logical steps. They can end it by backing off.

9. Probably a teaparty jackass upset the party isn't demanding Obama's birth certificate.

11. Yup. Teabaggers or racists stepping up their attacks to include Republicans.

10. And thread title is incomplete should say "with bb gun".

12. They did not want to let that out- makes it all much less threatening...

Oh, those evil liberal thugs picking on the poor republicans! ;)
