NC GOP Headquarters Attacked

A police officer reported earlier in the night that about 100 people wearing masks and gloves were walking down a street near the headquarters, Raleigh Police Capt. D.S. Overman said. The vandalism happened between 11 and 11:30 p.m., the result of an obviously “planned and orchestrated event,” police spokesman Jim Sughrue said.

“This is not a political statement,” Sughrue said. “A political statement is what we made Tuesday. This is a crime.”

Police had detained several suspects early Saturday, but had filed no charges, Sughrue said. They were also taking steps to protect state Democratic Party offices from possible vandalism, he said.

Investigators at the scene found a partially burned, two-headed effigy in military fatigues. One head had the face of President Bush and the other the face of his failed Democratic challenger John Kerry.

They also found several spent fireworks, poster boards with slogans and spraypainted expletives on the walls. At least two windows were broken and police said it appeared as if the vandals tried to put incendiary devices inside of the building.

Note that they didn’t seem to be fans of either Bush or Kerry; this looks like the work of the Black Bloq dim bulb anarchists.
