1. This reminds me of a similar case in Phoenix

Which turned out to be a disgruntled party volunteer and not a terrorist.
This doesn't sound like a disgruntled party volunteer though.

5. It's fortunate that they have so much video footage from both outside and in

And he sure gave them plenty of footage to work with...

2. Excellent segment

I love that Ms. Naranjo called out the terrorist as being inept.

I hope the FBI catches this perp!

Hopefully, people across the street saw more than even the cameras picked up on.

3. That's a good point! The guy across the street arrived with a fire extinguisher!

4. Yup!

Must not have occurred to the stable genius arsonist that others were likely watching!

Kudos to the person who saved the office!

Loved her message that Dems will show up & vote!

But I really think the ineptitude comment is going to leave a mark!

6. Too many people think they can get away with anything in the middle of the night

Little do they know that there are "night people" watching...

7. I know, right?

So glad the damage was relatively minimal!

10. Oh, thank you!

This guy thought he got away by committing his crimes in the middle of the night - but he not only appeared on camera, made the newspaper and now he appeared on national TV! I'm wondering if the neighbor with the fire extinguisher saw him, too!

9. It's TraviS county, home to the state capital, Austin.

It's one of the scattered few islands of blue in the vast red sea known as Texas. Most Texans have long considered knowledge of the goings-on there strategically UNimportant. Low info is low info, after all.

11. Anthony Nero, 48, fired shots into Democratic headquaters.

This happened in February at the headquarters in Montgomery county Pa.
The feds took over the case from local courts and I was glad about that. Yet nothing has happened and there has been silence. However I do not think he made bail. At least I can find no reports of him making bail.

12. GOP terrorism..

It's what they now do. Call it what it is.
