Windows With Posters Supporting Health Care Reform Smashed in Denver -- 24 year-old Arrested
The crazies are out in force.


At least two people smashed windows bearing health-care reform posters at the Colorado Democratic headquarters in Denver in what party officials are calling an act of political vandalism.

Police say the windows were broken at about 2:30 a.m. Tuesday. A policeman on regular patrol witnessed two people smashing windows with hammers, stopped, then pursued the suspects as they fled on bicycles. The officer arrested 24-year-old Maurice Schwenkler on suspicion of criminal mischief.

The other suspect was still at large Tuesday afternoon. There was no phone number listed for Schwenkler and it wasn't immediately clear if he had an attorney.

State party Chairwoman Pat Waak says most of the 11 shattered windows were directly in front of posters supporting health care reform and President Barack Obama.

2. "Quick! Somebody change the subject to Sarah Palin's children!"
"That'll create equivalency with what happened here!"

3. 23 and riding a bicycle to committ vandalism....
I expect acts like this to be cheered on by the haters in this country.

The Repug congressman did the right thing but it's too little too late. I blame the Repub Congress people for the impending escalating violence in this country.

5. Besides having a criminal record, they should have to pay the $10,000 in damages
Although in another article it was estimated to be $11,000.

Actions like these should have consequences.
