Shot fired at Obama campaign headquarters in Denver

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.

Just yesterday I was exiting my car when someone in the parking lot hollered that they liked my sticker-cluttered rear window - especially the "Equals" sign that's there. Someone wanna smash my back window? I hope they know that'll only redouble my efforts at promoting the things I'm passionate about!

There are still Ron Paul and LIbertarian signs and signs to not vote for anything public; like schools, fire, police, parks, etc. And this is a blue state.

(1,250 posts)This is the last election that the Republican Party is going to lock down on that familiar Southern Strategy in a Presidential race.
The Southern Strategy means the Selfish Rich guys getting policies passed in their favor by using the massive energy & numbers of bigoted Democrats who left the Democratic Party for the Republican Party after the 1964 Civil Rights Act (which broke up the Southern oppressive fiefdom of Blacks).
Get the bigots all riled up with some boogeyman 'other' figure & let their hatred fuel your voting block so you can have less obligation to the country you come from.
That strategy will be soundly defeated on November 6th in the Presidential race as Obama gets his 2nd term & they know this.
As it dawns on more & more of them that Change DID come in the way they feared & now the country is moving Forward beyond them, you will see more of these kinds of incidents.
Reality hasn't quite sunk in with all of them.
Wait 'til the years pass & the "Conservative" agenda gets packed up in the dusty attic.
The bigots either have to change or they have to go.
They have held this country back for too long with their mindless mentalities & it's time to progress.

(7,720 posts)my suggestion is to wait until there are more facts presented about this incident. It could be part of a domestic, it could be anything really. It is kind of silly to speculate until we know more. (Although it is kind of fun to blame the republicans).

(17,086 posts)It wouldn't help find the perpetrator, but could tie them to the crime once they were found. A lot depends on the condition of the bullet, if they can find it.
