Breaking: Shot fired at Obama campaign headquarters in Denver

[JaneyVee]

Police say someone fired a shot at the Obama campaign's Denver headquarters Friday afternoon.

No one was injured, though people were inside the offices when the incident occurred, said Denver police spokeswoman Raquel Lopez.

"It looks like it was one shot that was fired into the structure," she said.
The incident happened at about 3 p.m. at the campaign's offices on West Ninth Avenue near Acoma Street, Lopez said.

2. somebody's mad. n/t

[kestrel91316]

3. RW thuggery. Buncha jackbooted brownshirt wanna-bes.

[HopeHoops]

4. Solution: More guns for everyone.

[Agnosticsherbet]

5. Another act of terrorism by heavily armed right wing thugs...

Screw 'um.

Obama/Biden 2012

NO FEAR

[nc4bo]

9. Acts of terrorism but we're not allowed to call them terrorists.

Blows my mind how f'd up that is.

The odds of catching any of these people must be in the 0% range. Too bad.

[Astazia]

18. I call them "The American Taliban" !

As should we all! Fuckin' haters!

[Agnosticsherbet]

37. Since I'm not a member of the government or media...

I can call a spade a spade, or even a fucking shovel it I so please.

Acts like this are done to cause fear. Just being inside an Obama campaign office can get you killed. It is a blunt as strange fruit in the South.

[malaise]

6. Ed Shultz covering this now

ReTHUGs in name and nature

[Comrade_McKenzie]

7. We need massive domestic surveillance of right wing extremists after Obama's reelection... nt

[SQUEE]

25. we have that already.

We merely need to expose these people in the light of day. There is already far too much surveillance by the Govt. as is. I refuse to allow the petulant fringe rob me of my freedoms and liberty.

[tarheelsunc]

8. Typical right wing extremism

This is absolutely despicable and uncalled for. I don't care who the candidate is or who the party is, you don't risk innocent lives to take your frustration out. It's not like there was any chance the President himself was in there, so why do it? I am just glad everyone is OK, because that could have been much worse.

It's pathetic when you have to worry about security at your campaign field offices. Absolutely disgusting.

[fearnobush]

11. It's not extremism it's terrorism. Plain and simple

They ought to be deal with as terrorist and tried as terrorists. No exceptions.

[tarheelsunc]

17. I agree, and these are probably the same extreme people who call the President a terrorist

[siligut]

10. Don't you wish that one of those privacy invasion cameras caught the shooter?

Isn't crime supposed to be the reason they exist?

Ed just said that they have a possible description of the vehicle.

[HappyMe]

36. They did say on the news this morning

that the police are reviewing security camera footage.

[ThatsMyBarack]

12. Bet it was someone like THIS thug!

[nc4bo]

13. Skinhead rat bastard. The GOP tolerates and coddles these pieces of shit. What does that say

about the Republican Party?

Not much.

Where was that taken btw?

[ThatsMyBarack]

14. Actually, that pic is from a Rmoney rally in Ohio....

So it wasn't HIM exactly.

But I saw this pic before I heard the news, so I couldn't help but think it had to be a THUG like him....

[harmonicon]

24. Ugh... not this ignorant fucking "skinhead" shit again.

*sigh* I don't even have the energy to do it anymore.

[nc4bo]

32. This Party talks out of both sides of its mouth....

They talk about how they are trying to attract minorities to the GOP yet they tolerate this type of crap even cater to it.

If I were a person of color and happened to attend a Republican rally or event and saw people, even one person walking around wearing a shirt, pin, button, sporting a bumpersticker with that crap on there, I'd would be extremely offended and turned off to put it mildly.

Keep tolerating this racist behavior and the Party's dreams of diversity will remain just that.

It's pathetic.

[DisabledAmerican]

15. Wasn't it Ohio recently they dumped crap in front of the door?

[Godless in Seattle]

16. Our Enemy has Shown his True Face

That's not mine: It's a garbled line from Godfather III.

[former-republican]

19. Just by looking at it , it doesn't appear to be a bullet that caused the glass breakage

looks more like a rock.

Bullet moves at a high velocity .
It appears that what ever broke that was moving at a very low velocity and had a lot of mass behind it.

If it was a bullet it should be able to be found rather easily in that back white sheetrock wall.

[Risen Demon]

22. Either way

It's a senseless act of destruction and shows how divided this country is becoming.

Sometimes I pity these ill-informed people. What could lead them to so much hate?

[former-republican]

27. It's a hateful act more so than senseless.

I'm hoping I'm right about the rock .
Because if I'm not , the police really need to ramp this up and get the shooter off the street.

and now...

[spanone]

29. police say it was a shot.

[former-republican]

31. I know

It very well could have been but typically glass doesn't shatter like that with a bullet.

Was that picture taken before the police arrived on scene?


Is there anymore information the police have put out yet.
This happened at 3:00 pm

bullet found , caliber , anything?

[wtmusic]

20. Beware of impotent rage. nt

[Generic Other]

21. And that makes a thousand voters decide to vote for him

Enough of this crap.

[harmonicon]

23. But this won't be called terrorism, because ... ? (nt)

[Spitfire of ATJ]

26. Their second amendment solutions in action.

[spanone]

28. i hope that's a felony

[NJRick1006]

30. Wonder if the right-wing media is following this story

This would be the main story on Faux News/Drudge, etc. if shots were ever fired at a Romney campaign headquarters?

Faux news is blocked at our house (Parental Controls) so I have no idea.

[marions ghost]

33. The Democrats show KNOW

they need to make their headquarters like bunkers...

It's the Dems fault for being so naive.

[Paladin]

35. I'm Glad You Added The "Sarcasm" Tag.

That "It's All The Democrats' Fault" meme is in constant use, in certain DU groups....

[marions ghost]

38. I know...

I don't blame Dems in general, for mistakes.

Dems commit misdemeanors.

Republicans commit felonies.

[mick063]

34. The GOP put a huge Anti Terrorism infrastructure in place.

An expensive agency called the Department of Homeland Security. They "grew" the government to create it.

It will be nice to see their Frankenstein beat them down when they start going nuts.
