Amazing to see the lefty PI telling it straight.
Not quite straight. The author's tone of wide-eyed mystification about "why would somebody do this" is utterly dishonest. He lives in Seattle, and you can't do that without seeing the large number of liberals who seem to be consumed by their anger about ... well, whatever odd issue happens to grab them. It's really difficult for one hasn't lived in Seattle, or actually within some similar liberal bastion, to believe that such anger can exist.
If Our Author was really honest, he'd have pointed that out.
They are just embarrassed that the vandals who trashed the patriot's property are making liberals look bad, kind of like CAIR denouncing terrorism.
How would the PI report this story if the property of an openly gay couple were attacked in the exact same way?
