Clinton and Trump had 2 very different reactions to the firebombing in North Carolina
The Business Insider ^ | October 16, 2016 | Mark Abadi

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump issued two contrasting responses to the vandalizing and apparent firebombing of a Republican Party headquarters in North Carolina on Sunday.

A graffiti message reading "Nazi Republicans leave town or else" was left on the building, and the blaze inflicted extensive damage to the office, according to a statement from Hillsborough police. No one was hurt in the incident, and police are now investigating.

Clinton condemned the incident on Twitter Sunday evening.

"The attack on the Orange County HQ @NCGOP office is horrific and unacceptable," she said. "Very grateful that everyone is safe."

Meanwhile, Trump was quick to assign responsibility for the incident to Clinton supporters, despite a lack of evidence from authorities.

"Animals representing Hillary Clinton and Dems in North Carolina just firebombed our office in Orange County because we are winning," Trump tweeted.

Hillsborough police have not identified any suspects, and only said Sunday evening that its investigation is still ongoing.

North Carolina is a key battleground state this election, and Clinton is holding a 3-point lead there, according to a RealClearPolitics average of recent polls. Barack Obama narrowly won North Carolina in 2008, while Mitt Romney took the state in 2012.

The Republican HQ is located in The Shops at Daniel Boone shopping center.

Bombing a building and risking the community's safety with fire goes way beyond vandalizing property. The attackers also threaten the entire campaign with their hateful messages in addition to this NC community.

And what is the message from the criminals? Was it to potentially kill, destroy private property, or intimidate Trump or Republican voters, or to intimidate and deter activist, volunteers and supporters?

Shouldn't all Americans be free to express their political viewpoints without fear for their own safety, not just democrats.

“And what is the message from the criminals? Was it to potentially kill, destroy private property, or intimidate Trump or Republican voters, or to intimidate and deter activist, volunteers and supporters? “

My guess is “all of the above!”...that’s just the way the Clintons roll....

Similar to Ferguson and Baltimore in MO. Leftist thugs like to burn things.

This is why we all appreciate Trump. He’s not being diplomatic here. He knows who the enemy is and has the guts to say it put loud.

When a wife gets murdered the first person you suspect is the husband. When a Republican HQ gets fire bombed, you suspect a Clinton supporter. You don't need to be a detective to understand that. Common sense.

Clinton supporters have started graffiti tagging Trump supporter cars with white spray paint at Trump rallies. Seems all the attacks are from the Clinton goons. More like terrorism than war. Our side has yet to retaliate. I hope retaliation comes, and comes hard.

After blaming Trump for having his rallies attacked by leftist thugs (which emboldens leftist thugs to keep attacking us) and after calling Trump supporters deplorable and racist and such, she has a lot of nerve trying to distance herself from this Democrat party inspired violence without apologizing for her part in it.

Sadly I expect little more from her. She would praise the attack if she thought it would help her.

I love the way the MSM plays dumb about motives.

I’ll bet this writer still hasn’t been able to come up with a motive for the Pulse nightclub shooting.

My suggestion for retaliation: We need go to her rallys and throw at der Beast wafers of Sacramental bread and hold up crucifixes to show our desire to repel her from the land and turn her into dark vapor. The wafers will easily get through security and the crucifixes can be made on cardboard and tucked inside a shirt. A snow storm of these raining down on Hillary and the participants will send a strong message.

The first is written in politispeak, where every word is crafted and focus grouped. This language is only spoken by politicians, the most vile sub-species of human being on planet earth.

The second is written by a human being, like us.
