The intent is good, but it just doesn't seem like it was a very good idea on the whole (this is a GOP funded office, they have insurance, so where's the extra money going to go, when this is the state pushing the most regressive and discriminatory trans-related legislation in the country?).

I get the desire for good PR, and to further distance yourselves from the pieces of shit that'd do something like this. I do. It's just...it's complicated.

Five for the evil of the firebombing itself.

I had the same thoughts as Bobonne. It is a nice gesture, though. But at the same time, we don't know who did this. I don't want to go all conspiracy nut, but earnestly hope it was some sort of rightist "false flag" thing and not a Clinton voter. But who knows, right now.

Is there a "sorry 'bout the domestic terrorism" Hallmark card they can send instead?

I know the word is overused a lot, but if there was ever someone I'd describe as a cuck it'd be the liberals that donated to that.

conjugate the verb!

I don't think it even has to be a sanctioned thing on his part (if it was trump supporters), he's set his fans loose to do whatever the fuck they think they should and honestly NC is mostly prime Trump territory (Though Hillsborough is apparently a dem stronghold?).

I don't doubt that some fuckwit idiot on the dem side could be capable of it, but the spraypainted swastikas etc don't really add up to me so i'll wait to see if they figure out the perpetrators before drawing broad conclusions.

Thanks bawbag.

fuck, that's an absolutely amazing twitter thread.

glad to see the greatest country on earth get back into the 'election cycle firebombing' game. i expect much high-level sportsmanship.

Ho-lee shit. This election year is bringing out crazy of every fucking stripe, flavor and scent.

What a wonderful admission from the party that whines the most and loudest about a need for voter ID and fraud legislation (to keep the poors and other undesirables from having a voice)

ach, we may need to walk that back: I dug a little deeper just in that thread and turned up a formal correction:
https://twitter.com/greg_doucette/status/788152553104142336

well, one from NBC at least. Couldn't tell if FNC issued a retraction yet, but I've never known them to be big on self-corrections in any case.

Simple miscommunication? Hamfisted appeal to sympathies ("look what those ANIMALS destroyed!") without thought for repercussion? Actual, hastily retracted admission of class I felony? I dunno anymore.

Yeah the story is very muddy.
