Somebody threw a brick through Rep. Cassidy’s office window early this morning, she says
Wednesday, Sep 14, 2022 - Posted by Rich Miller * Ugh…
…Adding… The tweet was deleted and replaced by this one because the footage suggests the brick-thrower was a woman.

If I’m not mistaken, that’s also the office of Sen. Simmons, Comm. Gainer, and Ald. Osterman.
It’s really getting ugly out there.

Also, Cong. Schakowsky.

Darren Bailey, living in an expensive tower, funded by a tycoon, enabling violence in the neighborhoods.
That sounds about right.

@bluebayou, you’re assumption of motive with zero evidence is not productive to the general discourse.

@Cmon - well said.

To quote the Blues Brothers, “I hate Illinois Nazis.”
But seriously, I hope these criminal acts of political violence are investigated and the perps held responsible. And hopefully the ILGOP will get wiped out so bad they find a way to reform and get away from the extremist/fascist track they’re on and back to some semblance of decency.

Why bother? They will be given a ticket and asked not to do it again. UNLESS, there is a different standard for Dem elected officials. This will be interesting…

I don’t get why the tweet was changed. It was changed because it suggests the person was a woman? Do you mean they have no idea of the sex so they don’t want to imply something? Or do they not want to accuse a woman even though they think it was a woman?

===It was changed because it suggests the person was a woman?===
The original text referred to a “guy”

A simple “I disagree” would have sufficed; bricks through windows are not civilized discourse. Hope they find the offender, this may also be a Fed crime of attempted intimidation, etc. The Feds showing up for you has a little bit different impact…

There is no reason for this. Any jerk breaking windows deserves to be put in jail.
