Vandals throw large rock through window of House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy's office

[left-of-center2012]

Two men threw a large rock through the window of House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s office in Bakersfield and made off with equipment, the congressman wrote on social media Monday night.

McCarthy (R-Bakersfield) posted photos on his Facebook and Instagram accounts at 6 p.m. of the two men, who apparently were seen on security camera video. He said they threw a “boulder” through the window of his office at 4100 Empire Drive.

“Do you know these guys? They threw a boulder thru our office window and took office equipment,” McCarthy wrote on Facebook. He also posted a photo of what appears to be a large rock surrounded by broken glass and lying on the floor of the office. The Bakersfield Police Department could not immediately be reached on Tuesday to confirm whether it is investigating the incident.

McCarthy, a native of Bakersfield, was first elected to Congress in 2006 after four years in the California Assembly. He has served as House majority leader since 2014 and may become speaker if Republicans hold the chamber after the Nov. 6 midterm elections.

1. How uncivil... that poor boulder had to sit in that Republican's office.

[ffr]

2. Sounds like an after hours theft.

The headline is a bit deceiving. Makes it sound like it was done out of anger during business hours.

Cnsidering the age, the tatts, and the pink backback, I'll wager these are good, loyal Democrats simply wishing to express their feelings about how they have been dealt a bad hand. It is all because Republicans are returning the country to where it should have been all along.

Oh, woe is me - I've put myself in terrible debt because of student loans; my food stamps aren't enough to support me, my girlfriend and our three illigitimate kids; I don't have free medical care to take care of the infections caused by my tattoo guy; there are Confederate flags flying in Mississippi; and the list goes on and on and on and on . . . .

10. I've got it down to two suspects:

11. Well, Kevin, they're standing right behind you.

One of them is Paul Ryan and the other is the Orange Shitstain.

12. Suuuuuuure They Did

It was "vandals".

13. From page 47 of the Republican Dirty Tricks Playbook:

Perform acts of vandalism on your home or campaign office and blame the supporters of your Democratic opponent...

[dewsgirl]

14. This is exactly what I was thinking.

17. Their version of the "night of the broken glass."

16. Demand Republicans speak English only! (Not their weird dialect)

Used a heavy object to break a window and took office equipment? Doesn't that fall under "burglary" rather than "vandalism"? "Smash & grab"?
