Last night, following the Republican Party’s televised despicable false attacks on Planned Parenthood which included deceptively edited videos and false graphs, a Planned Parenthood in Thousand Oaks, California burned in what authorities have determined was an arson attack. This came just weeks after a vandalism attack om the same facility.

The Los Angeles Times reported, “Ventura County sheriff’s Capt. John Reilly said Thursday someone likely used a rock to shatter a window at the Planned Parenthood facility in the 1200 block of West Hillcrest Drive, then threw gasoline inside the office and ignited it.”

“You’re putting the community at risk when you’re doing something like this,” Tim Lohman, a detective with the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department, told the Los Angeles Times. “The reasons behind why the person did what they did, we don’t know. And that’s going to be part of the investigation and hopefully give us some foresight into why they targeted this specific location. Whether it’s the stuff that’s in the news recently, we don’t know.”

Congresswoman Julia Brownley (D-CA) issued a statement today saying she was “deeply troubled to learn that for the second time in two months, the Planned Parenthood clinic in Thousand Oaks has been the target of criminals and cowards who seek to intimidate healthcare workers and deny women their constitutionally-protected rights.”................

Forget the fact that you and your staff cannot construct an honest chart.

Arson is a real crime.

Murder of pro-choice doctors is a real crime.

So sad that you are both deaf and blind.

If something is legal, and it's that FUCKING irritating to me, I do the only logical thing. The one thing accepted by society, which is to try to get the law changed. You don't punish people exercising their rights under the law. If you can't get the law changed, well, you suck it up and live with it.

So sick of these people!

terrorists - the right wing ones. Theres mass right wing terrorists groups out there - all of their goups could be classified as such. All of them are hurting people and destroying our democracy. Bet not one of us would show up and burn their places down. We're law abiding citizens, and they're people who have no respect for the law.

A decent system can be had for a few thousand dollars. We even do zero down plans that include maintenance for a few hundred a month. There's really no excuse to not have them. Of course they won't keep the arson from happening, but it sure can help catch the perps.
