Theresawithanh: Yes, it can make one nervous. I'm from the SF Bay Area where this type of violence and criminal behavior has been going on for a LOOOOOOOOONG time. NCer's, and I'm one now, need to really recognize how much anarchists would love to get inside other states, and turn them into liberal meccas. Point? Elect solid candidates, elect constitutionally-based judges. Behavior like this should be PUNISHED; not endorsed, coddled, or excused (like it's been in CA for damned-too-many years).
This "crime", IMHO, is a wake-up trumpet.
