Obama's Westside campaign office vandalized
September 22, 2011 | 9:29 pm


Los Angeles police were investigating a Thursday night incident in which someone shot BB-gun pellets and threw an object into President Obama's Westside campaign office, authorities said.

The incident was reported at 7:25 p.m. at the office in the 6700 block of South Centinela Avenue.

The person who called in the incident "reported hearing glass breaking and noticed that windows were broken," LAPD spokeswoman Sara Faden said.

No one was in the office at the time, Faden said. Police did not say what object was thrown into the office.

The LAPD had no immediate description of the vandal and it was not clear if the act was captured on video.

The incident comes days before the president is due to visit Los Angeles to raise money for what is expected to be a bruising 2012 reelection campaign.

I didn't know a bb gun could do so much. i saw video (40 secs, no talking). At the 30 sec mark it shows a window that's destroyed:

BB guns are highly illegal here in Ireland under anti-terrorist legislation, as it happens. It does not help that people keep using them in armed robberies.

Some of what are called "BB guns" today are not the Daisy Red Ryder you played with as a kid (or even one of the more powerful pump guns), and can shoot a round with the same muzzle velocity as a .22 rifle.

Shot fired at Obama campaign headquarters in Denver

Police say someone fired a shot at the Obama campaign's Denver headquarters Friday afternoon.

No one was injured, though people were inside the offices when the incident occurred, said Denver police spokeswoman Raquel Lopez.

"It looks like it was one shot that was fired into the structure," she said.
The incident happened at about 3 p.m. at the campaign's offices on West Ninth Avenue near Acoma Street, Lopez said.

51. I was in that office two days ago..

I hope they get this person, I talked with a cop that said they might have a suspect. I'm kinda worried for our people working for Obama. but I also know we have to do what we are doing no matter how many nut jobs shoot at us. They can't win that way.

I think the altitude does something to brains that are already oxygen and intelligence deprived.
