Bullet holes found in Albany County Democratic headquarters building

ALBANY - Nine bullet holes were found in the front window of the Albany County Democratic Committee Headquarters on Wednesday morning. Albany Police think it was a targeted attack.

That's because the building on Colvin Avenue houses several office spaces, but no other bullet holes were found.
Fortunately no one was in the office when this happened. But committee chair Jack Flynn said it's not uncommon to have volunteers working on campaigns there at night.

"It does scare me because I do a lot of volunteer work at night,” Flynn said. “I do have campaigns that do come in here at night to use headquarters for some local elections."

I don't remember hearing about this at the time (2014)

"Scheuer’s career reached its terminal nadir last week, when he published a column endorsing an assassination of President Obama and Prime Minister David Cameron. In the modern media environment, it’s pretty hard to go too far. Advocacy of murder, however, does cross one of the last remaining lines. These words from the same column cross another:


“That Eric Holder and Barack Obama have not been impeached, moreover, suggests that the impeachment provisions of the Constitution are a dead letter; that they apply only to individuals named Nixon; or that they do not apply to black Americans supported by such towering giants of fatuousness as Oprah, Chris Matthews, Fareed Zakaria, Piers Morgan, and Hillary Clinton and her motley band of Viragos.”

I don’t expect we will be hearing much more in future from the former CBS News analyst, bestselling author, and CIA officer."
