[murielm99]

The Winnebago County Republican headquarters was vandalized with sprawling spray paint of the words "rape" and "shame" all across the building at 515 N. Court St. downtown.

Rockford police officers at the building said the graffiti was spotted by an officer on patrol shortly before 10 a.m. Sunday.

Come on, people. Go knock on some doors. Call some Senators. GOTV. Stop behaving like children.

1. Only the beginnning

Not that I condone it, but I think we might start seeing escalating social unrest. It will come from the Democratic and liberal side out of a sense of anger and helplessness, and from the Right in an effort to instill fear and seek revenge.

3. "The Grand Cyclops reported that all damage was to the exterior of the building

and that none of the hoods, robes or "Fiery Cross Kits" inside were defiled."

6. Given some of the republicans around here,

you are not far off the mark. I am dismayed by the racism and misogyny that surrounds me. When you point it out to them, they laugh.

4. Why do we assume that the vandals were Dems or

Progressives and not Trumpers pulling an old trick from the Republican dirty playbook.

Honestly, can we put this beyond the capabilities of the supporters for the other side?

7. My first

thoughts exactly. They might be attempting to instill an intense rage in their followers. Angry people vote. Any way you look at this, it's wrong.

8. I was thinking it could even be the cop who found it , right? Blame blm or antifa

5. They probably did it themselves, so they can blame us.
