SANTA ANA (CBS) — Graffiti threatening Gov. Jerry Brown’s life was found in two places in Santa Ana Thursday, according to police.

The graffiti read, “We gonna kill Gov. Brown 2 14 11,” Bertagna said.

Between 2:15 p.m. and 2:30 p.m., a Santa Ana police officer saw more threatening graffiti at 1700 W. Segerstrom Ave., Bertagna said.

The vandal spray-painted in red, “27 more days 4 Brown” and included a swastika, Bertagna said, adding someone later painted over the red “7″ with a black “6″ as if it were a countdown.

“We’re taking this very seriously, of course, especially when they put out swastikas and threaten the governor, and with all that’s going on in Tucson we have to take this seriously,” Bertagna said.

1. What are those wacky, harmless GOPpers up to now?

n/t

7. Jerry did manage to piss of some gang members during his tenure as mayor of Oakland

And as the state Attorney General.

This is not the first time he's been threatened by grammar-challenged people.

11. Oakland gangsters posting threats on Orange County walls?

And wouldn't your "grammar-challenged" still apply to the coterie of Beck/Palin acolytes!? ;-)

13. I'm not sure that Beck/Palin acolytes would have spelled "gonna" correctly

Santa Ana is a high crime area, as Southern California goes. Some of the larger gangs (e.g. Crips) have members in several cities.

I have a friend who grew up there. His sister was murdered when he was a kid. That was over 30 years ago, and the suspect is on trial right now.

18. SOME of santa ana is high crime

west and south santa ana is and always has been. north and east side is just like any other city in the central OC. i grew up in santa ana and still have family there. my mother's family has been there since the late 1800's.

6. "We gonna kill..."

Sounds like kids, and not ones who are doing well in school.

4. More 2nd Amendment Remedies folks

Ah well - they never threaten anyone.

5. Weird all around...

Is there a significance to February 14th? :shrug:

8. St. Valentine's Day

:shrug:

9. Valentine's Day?

Not sure how that would fit.

10. It may turn out to be the anniversary of some big-time gangster getting sent to prison

When JB was the Attorney General.

[bigmonkey]

12. Feb. 14th referring to the "St. Valentine's Day Massacre" in Chicago?

Perhaps?

14. They should have set up a stakeout

and grabbed whoever came the next day to change the 6 to a 5.

[slackmaster]

15. Yes indeed. The people who did the spray-painting are probably dumb enough to show up and do that.

:hi:

Any change in security?
