A Republican Party headquarters in North Carolina was firebombed and a nearby building was vandalized on Saturday night and police were hunting for those responsible on Sunday.

The inside of the Orange County Republican Party headquarters in Hillsborough was severely damaged and an adjacent building was marked with spray painted graffiti reading “Nazi Republicans get out of town or else,” The Charlotte Observer reported.

No one was killed, I don't think anyone was injured from the articles I've seen.

This is indefensible and I hope those responsible get caught. Politically I do not side with Republicans on pretty much anything but we are a democracy and I would hope a civilized society and this is not how to get your voice heard.

Lock if old

 

[Bronx-Man]

Jesus. Glad to hear no one was killed.

 

[Lightning_Roller]

Holy shit, what the fuck?! Things are getting crazy as hell!!

 

[MartyStu]

Fuck. This is really bad. Glad to see no one was hurt.

 

[Dr. Feel Good]

Crazy that the US has gotten to this point.

 

[Meffer]

Jesus Christ on a stick, why do something so stupid?

 

[JP_]

Not cool =/

 

[Izuna]

oh no, what the fuck =( how can you do something like this

 

[rjinaz]

Please tell me there was a camera somewhere.

 

[bgbball31]

Good to hear everyone is alright from what we've heard. Whatever your political position, this is NOT the way to get things done. Ugh.

 

[Makonero]

Horrific. I hope this doesn't open up the nutcase floodgates.

 

[Slightly Live]

This will have the opposite of the intended effect I'd imagine.

 

[The Llama]

Oh jeez, please let this just be an isolated incident...

 

[commedieu]

This will have the opposite of the intended effect I'd imagine.

Depends on who did it.

 

[Jawbreaker]

Morons. Hope these domestic terrorists are caught.

 

[King Tubby]

This is indefensible. Beat them at the polls. This has no place in our politics. I hope the people who did this are locked up right away.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Glad no-one got hurt.

This only strengthens the resolve of people who are voting for Trump. Moronic.

 

[kadotsu]

I hope they get the assholes that did this. Glad everyones safe.

 

[1.21Gigawatts]

The irony of firebombing a place and accusing THE VICTIMS of being the nazis, in a graffiti on the wall...

 

[Venture]

Really glad nobody was hurt it seems. Such a pointless and stupid thing to do. It'll only further entrench these people in their hateful misguided views.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Depends on who did it.

Word..

 

[The Lamonster]

I'm surprised it wasn't the other way around. As if these folks need any more reason to lash out. I fear for election day

 

[theWB27]

Tinfoil hat. Vandalize your own to put attention on the other.

 

[Surface of Me]

Depends on who did it.

Yeah, I honestly wouldnt be surprised if this was an inside job.

 

[Cerium]

 

[Buzzman]

Tinfoil hat. Vandalize your own to put attention on the other.

Tinfoil hat. Blame the other side because you don't want to admit that your side might have done something stupid.

 

[Rayis]

Not like this people. not like this.

 

[thekonamicode]

Sounds like an inside job.

 

[Jawbreaker]

Are we really going to start talking about it being a false flag op? Honestly? Come on.

 

[Seesaw15]

Probably wrong but seems fake.

Either way glad nobody got hurt.

 

[JaseMath]

*sigh* More and more I feel like the US is flirting with another civil war.

 

[TI82]

Just goes to show how awful the rhetoric is making people during this election on both sides

 

[Coketruck]

Tinfoil hat. Vandalize your own to put attention on the other.

Less than 25 posts before the "They did it themselves" conspiracy theory pops up. Good job!

 

[RPGCrazied]

Probably Trump supporters to frame Democrats. I would not put it past them.

 

[theWB27]

Tinfoil hat. Blame the other side because you don't want to admit that your side might have done something stupid.

This assumes I think my side is clean to begin with.

Less than 25 posts before the "They did it themselves" conspiracy theory pops up. Good job!

33 posts before we got the mathematician in here.

 

[Ponn]

Depends on who did it.

I hate to be one of those tinfoil, false flag people at the moment but yea, this seems shady, the language used in the graffiti and location is dubious. Also with the infighting going on right now in the GOP and as crazy as Trump supporters are getting. I'm witholding judgement till arrests or more evidence is made.

Less than 25 posts before the "They did it themselves" conspiracy theory pops up. Good job!

Shit gets real crazy during election years in Oct. Carve a B in my cheek if there isn't precedence for this stupid shit.

 

[Gattsu25]

Glad no one was hurt. I hope they catch the person/people that did this ASAP

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Are we really going to start talking about it being a false flag op? Honestly? Come on.

Where'd the OP do that? Curious..

 

[Electric Eye]

Tinfoil hat. Vandalize your own to put attention on the other.

It's happened before, remember the girl that supposedly had her face carved and Eric Cantor claiming they shot up his office? Both turned up to be bs.

 

[TheTylerRob]

Violent hateful rhetoric begets violent hateful actions I guess.

 

[Cerium]

Republicans would never do such a thing!

 

[Jawbreaker]

I'm not talking about the OP.

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

Holy fuck, this is not how you get things done. Absolutely shocking and horrible.

Things seem like they're getting pretty damn tense over in the US and stuff like this does not help.

 

[Dalibor68]

Depends on who did it.

You realize that "being on the right side" doesn't mean that all people on that side are somehow good people? Every group has bad apples. Some perspective would do you good.

Violent hateful rhetoric begets violent hateful actions I guess.

One does not justify the other.

 

[Vilix]

This will have the opposite of the intended effect I'd imagine.

My thoughts too. Hopefully this doesn't spiral into something bigger.

 

[The Iron Weasel]

Where'd the OP do that? Curious..

I think he meant "op" as an abbreviation for operation.

 

[Wyndstryker]

*sigh* More and more I feel like the US is flirting with another civil war.

The longer the insanity goes on, then it'll come to that.

Then again, that is the best way for Trump to get Mexico to build a wall for him. Hell Canada would too.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

I'm not talking about the OP.

lol..Dur. My bad..

 

[Kite]

Wait for more info to come out.

 

[Any Questions]

As nuts as it sounds, it may get a lot worse and I wouldn't be surprised.

I hope it stays sensible. Stay safe American GAF
