Des Moines gay bar vandalized again.

Ugh

The Blazing Saddle, a well-known gay bar in Des Moines' East Village, was vandalized early Thursday morning after a rock was thrown through its window.

Surveillance footage from security cameras outside the bar shows a white male walking past the bar at around 4:06 a.m, said Chris Bullen, one of the co-owners. The cameras catch the man walking down a nearby alley and returning with his shirt pulled up, like he had something inside it. He was carrying rocks.

This is the second time in recent weeks that a window on the property has been smashed, but the last vandal was not visible on the security cameras.

"People must think I have stock in glass companies," said Bob Eikleberry, Bullen's partner.
