Vandals Hit GOP Headquarters in N.Carolina

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Vandals spray painted vulgar messages on the walls of the North Carolina Republican Party headquarters and left a burned effigy depicting President Bush and Sen. John Kerry, police said. Authorities detained several suspects early Saturday, hours after the attacks took place Friday night, but had not filed any charges, police spokesman Jim Sughrue said. A police officer reported Friday that about 100 people wearing masks and gloves were walking down a street near the headquarters, authorities said. The Republican president won re-election Tuesday after a challenge by Kerry, a Democrat. John Edwards, who was Kerry's running mate, is a senator from North Carolina. ``This is not a political statement,'' Sughrue said. ``A political statement is what we made Tuesday. This is a crime.'' Police said at least two windows were broken and it appeared that the vandals tried to put incendiary devices inside of the building. Investigators also found a partially burned, two-headed effigy in military fatigues. One head had the face of Bush and the other the face of Kerry. ``The people who did this are sick,'' said Kevin Howell, communications director for the state Republican Party. ``People don't understand that debate and elections are part of the process. This isn't how you act.''

Sorry, PSG, but there are at least three other threads about this story on the NC sidebar.
Two have been pinged to the NC list and I don't want to bother people.

This is like the "Werewolf" attacks against U.S. forces in Germay after the fall of the Reich. They just can't grasp that they've lost.

It sounds like these violent people were anti war and against both President Bush and Kerry.

Gee ... they forgot to mention the busted up sign in front and seven smashed windows.

Oh ... it's the Associated Press via CNN.
