Kucinich's home targeted by vandals
Published: Nov. 11, 2008 at 5:13 PM

CLEVELAND, Nov. 11 (UPI) -- The Cleveland home of U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, was the target of paintball-wielding vandals, police records show.

The wife of the congressman and former Democratic U.S. presidential candidate told authorities that vandals, likely teenagers, had hit their home with paint balls, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reported Tuesday.

The newspaper said police reports indicate Elizabeth Kucinich told officers she heard a banging noise at 1:30 a.m. last Thursday and noticed her house had been vandalized with paint balls. She said the vandals returned again the next night and lobbed more paint balls.

Police told the newspaper they have no suspects in the case.

2. what? is there no security? those could have been something other than paintballs

[Freddie Stubbs]

23. Members of Congress usually do not recieve a security detail unless

they are in a leadership position or have received credible threats.

[madrchsod]

[Libertas1776]

6. Outrageous!

there should be a 24 secret service guard watching that house and Kucinich's totally smokin' wife. Teenagers? baah!
it was probably some rather homely looking rethuglican women jealous of Kucinich and his hot super model wife.

8. His sister just DIED...wtf is WRONG with these idiots?

[happydreams]

18. A perfect time to rub salt in the wounds. Its what they did after Wellstone died.

That's when Trent Lott and rest went to his funeral then complained about not being invited. These are totally predatory thugs.

20. It could possibly a mental disorder known as "republicanism".

Symptoms include delusions, fragmented thought processes, lack of conscience, and violent, destructive tendencies.

21. Well, Repugs aren't exactly known for keeping up with the news

and, even if they had heard about his sister, many Repug types are all about kicking someone when they're down, anyway...

[curse of greyface]

9. Fucking DDWIMRs I hope they get caught and strung by thier privates. mans sister jsut died. nt

[KDTV]

10. Cowards

They are probably jealous that Kucinich has a hot wife and they don't.

[slay]

11. My thoughts are with the Kucinich family

What a great man - so sad. :(

[raysr]

12. AK 47 Dennis

[defendandprotect]

13. The right-wingers only have violence and hiding in dark ---disgusting--!!!

[intheflow]

14. Yeah, maybe it was Republican operatives,

but I've seen random paint balling across the country, on highway signs, buildings, cars, in the city and the country. My house in a rural area was randomly paint balled once. So I think it really could have just been stupid teenagers.

[progressoid]

15. My house gets it about once a year.

And nobody knows who I am.

[Festivito]

16. Maybe impeachment is looking a possibility.

Dennis would be the person to hit.

[Faygo Kid]

17. Rush, Sean, et al are whipping the haters into an insane frenzy. It will get worse.

There are going to be some tragic things happening.

[bdamomma]

22. so terrible that something like this has to happen

to such good people.

[Joe Chi Minh]

24. It would be nice if Obama could do something about it, either in terms of policing

or by raising his status by giving him some say in the government, and presumably greater protection or access to it, automatically. After all, he would be an asset to the government, in any case. Of course, there would be Olympic class weeping and wailing from the Usual Suspects.
