Vandals toss bricks through window of Indiana county Republican office

An Indiana Republican Party office was vandalized last week after someone tossed two bricks through the window, officials said Monday.

Signs for presidential nominee Donald Trump and Rep. Todd Young were hanging in the window of the Delaware County office on Oct. 8 when the landscaping bricks were tossed through the glass, officials said in a Facebook post.

Officials said it would cost about $1,200 to replace the window and those interested in helping out with the cost could donate online.

Delaware County Sheriff Ray Dudley said that there have been numerous reports of campaign signs being stolen from yards in Yorktown and Mount Pleasant Township, according to Fox 59.

Dudley added that the reports were being taken seriously and that removing signs from homeowners’ yards could call for prosecution under the Indiana criminal code.

The news of the Delaware County Republican office being trashed comes days after a Republican headquarters in North Carolina was firebombed.

Witness the birth of a new trend.

How long before these people start targeting homes (for something more than lawn sign vandalism)?

How long before somebody is killed?

This is the sort of political terrorism is common in the 3rd world and it looks like its going to become common here too.

You reap what you sow.

[Ichifails]

You reap what you sow.

Exactly. Listen to the insane Liberal bullshit, you get insane people.

[TrumpIsPresident]

You reap what you sow.

Very true.

The DNC allowed their party to be taken over by hateful radicals, again.

This resembles the sort of random anonymous violence against people who don't agree with them as occurred in the days of the KKK.

Whether or not it becomes worse still remains to be seen.

Hopefully it will stop once the election is over, but if not ...we've got a rocky and dangerous future ahead of us.

It's a ploy to create a political terrorism narrative onto the Democrats. Watch House of Cards, you'll learn.

How is vandalism an issue that needs to be discussed in an international forum? It happens every second around the globe, with or without any reasoning behind it (and I am not even certain what is worse).

[TrumpIsPresident]

Well, it's about time we got rid of republicans. They never bring anything worthwhile to the table, it's always them trying to argue over the same issues that were already solved decennia ago.

B-b-but abortion is wrong!
B-b-but weed is wrong!
B-b-but prostitution is wrong!
B-b-but gays are bad!
B-b-but the bible said we have to live like this instead!
B-b-but global warming doesn't exist!
B-b-but trickle down economics!

Seriously, get rid of them so you can finally stop wasting time on having the same discussions over and over again.
Delete them, crush your enemies.

So in other words ...The Final Solution?

Party of Violence indeed.

Welp, you guys don't even have the vandal ID'd and already play the blame game. It's not only democrats who are pissed off at the Republicans by now.

Its kinda funny to see people who presumably support the democrats are arguing for the end of democracy, free will and free speech

[derpkitteh]

attacks on the right will only drive more people to the right, and further right.

this is the biggest gift the GOP could ask for.

[Flarelaine]

Well, they take the lead from Trump. Weeks to go and already complaining about rigging. Remember the signs from 2000 proclaiming Sore-Loserman?

[Daymanmb]

I love how everyone automatically assumes, without any mention what so ever, that this was politically motivated..

[Cyberowl]

I doubt it's even necessary to do anything. The Republican party is making itself obsolete by having the opinions it has. Pretty much all polls seem to indicate that they've been consistently losing support because they contest all the issues I remarked upon. Trump is just a middle finger, no other republican is ever going to get as much votes as him anymore (even if it probably won't be enough to get him into office).

Why would anyone sane vote for republicans? They aren't 'right wing', they're just obsolete. Democrats are right wing.

There's life in the old dog yet.

[TrumpIsPresident]

Are you walking back your statement?

Because you came to a thread about violence being used as political terrorism and said:

"Well, it's about time we got rid of republicans."

"Seriously, get rid of them..."

"Delete them, crush your enemies."

Basically the same sort of rhetoric uttered by every mass murdering dictator in history.

Now did you just say this shit in haste and you don't really mean it?

Because I've been there I can understand that.

Or do you actually think people who disagree with you on mostly innocuous issues should be "gotten rid of"?

guns, gays, and taxes.

1. the guns will be taken from us if the liberals stay in power. this one i kinda agree with. i think some restrictions could be added, but otherwise we should keep the right to bare arms.

2. gays are bad. the incredibly pious men here in the south, with their budweiser and nascar, believe that the gays are out to make it illegal to be straight, or that gays are just plain gross. they usually believe this while in a sham of a marriage with a wife they mistreat, and curse like sailors while drinking. and of course, their lesbian porn.

3. taxes... the greatest evil known to this part of the population. people hear taxes and instantly think of dread, a evil thing to be reduced to nothingness. they fail think of taxes logically, of our infrastructure, of what they can gain from them.

i am mostly left leaning. there are places where i'm hard right, or even pushing authoritarian. but these three things are the highest motivating factor, what the GOP survives off of.

You mean all of the hate talk...all of the "we are right, you are wrong"...all of the "only certain people are good, all others are bad"...has caused a backlash. No way!

So, it was okay for people to beat up minorities; it was okay for people to threaten and harass muslims, vandalize mosques, and play zoning games with them; it was okay to violently attack women, and is still okay to denounce and degrade them for coming forward over harassment and rape; it was okay to throw rocks at a photographer; it's okay to sucker-punch and kick harmless protesters...but a brick tossed through a window, that is the real sign of major problems?

Are you people for real?

[TrumpIsPresident]

I like to play devil's advocate.

It could have been a disgruntle employee.
It could have been a random freak flying concrete accident.
It could have been a Republican ploy.
It could have been a botched robbery.
It could have been an Einstein-Rosen bridge connecting that window to an active construction site somewhere else on the planet.
It could have been a belligerent Democrat voter who as been conditioned to believe that violence is justified when its against Republicans.

It could have been a lot of things.

But measuring the likelihood of these things shows one very clear leader.

For every 1 legitimate instance of "hate talk" there's 100 fraudulent accusations of it and 1,000,000 instances of overly sensitive bigots-of-another-kind just crying "hate talk".

A lot of these people are literally convinced there's a racist around every corner.

And for every one of those things you listed I can show you 10 fold examples of it going to other way, try me if you'd like.

The huge mega difference is NOBODY but the worst un-affiliated scum who simply vote Republican are condoning it.

But when it comes to knockout games, and cop killings, and BLM attacks, and NBPP cop kill-lists, and union thuggery, and WU, and ELF, and ACORN, and on, and on, and on, and on, we can find direct connections to Democrat party officials and politicians.

You have been convinced that there are enemies everywhere and there simply aren't.

ok thats enough stupid opinions from people who would like to disregard inconvenient politically based violence


this is a symptom of polarization
I dont see reconciliation as an option
we are not friends anymore, not "opposing opinions that mean well"
there are no middle politics

its nationalism and globalism
and they cannot coexist

Unfortunately, most of the rabid supporters of Hillary Clinton don't even know what globalism is. Spend a day watching the corporate media and they never bring up words like 'globalism' or 'neoliberalism', instead they use heavily loaded propaganda that appeals to emotion, leading to these people becoming warped on a deep psychological level. In the United States, the vast majority of people are not taught how to resist this propaganda, and we have a culture among younger people now that reinforces extreme conformity as opposed to rebelliousness as it did when many people (who are over 30 now) experienced growing up.
