novapsycheVandals Hit GOP Headquarters in N. Carolina
Vandals spray painted vulgar messages on the walls of the North Carolina Republican Party headquarters and left a burned effigy depicting President Bush and Sen. John Kerry, police said.
[...] A police officer reported Friday that about 100 people wearing masks and gloves were walking down a street near the headquarters, authorities said.
[...] "This is not a political statement," Sughrue said. "A political statement is what we made Tuesday. This is a crime."
Police said at least two windows were broken and it appeared that the vandals tried to put incendiary devices inside of the building.
Investigators also found a partially burned, two-headed effigy in military fatigues. One head had the face of Bush and the other the face of Kerry.
"The people who did this are sick," said Kevin Howell, communications director for the state Republican Party. "People don't understand that debate and elections are part of the process. This isn't how you act."
