    This seems fishy for sure:

    Last night we got a call from the police informing us they had picked up ‘chatter’ indicating a group gathered for a ‘direct action protest’ had identified our office as a target. When I arrived this morning at 7 a.m. our doors and windows had been smashed in

    Bullshit that the police picked up "chatter," contacted the campaign, and then no one did anything else about it. None of that happened, certainly not that way.

    PPB officials told KOIN 6 News the damage to the building with the Gonzalez headquarters is about $8000. There are no suspects and no confirmed motive, but investigators said they “are investigating the possibility of a connection between the “direct action” event and the campaign office vandalism.

    A damage estimate on the highest side of reasonable, plus no suspects or motive (what was the content of this "chatter," then?). At least :PIGPOOPBALLS: is getting a paycheck out of this.
