Vandals Target Multiple GOP Offices Nationwide

Meanwhile, evidence from the firebombed GOP headquarters in Hillsborough, N.C. is being examined at an FBI laboratory in Quantico, Va. That incident occurred on Saturday night.Parts of the firebomb will be examined for potential fingerprints, while burned carpeting may help determine the type of flammable accelerant used by the attackers.Hillsborough Police Chief Duane Hampton said that agents from the FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives have been assisting at the scene and with gathering video evidence from other businesses. It is not believed that the GOP headquarters had been outfitted with surveillance cameras.“This was not something that took a great deal of planning…certainly, this could have been a lot worse,” Hampton said of the attacks. He also noted that the attacks occurred late at night, which likely saved lives.The rise in violence reflects a greater rise in heated rhetoric in an extremely polarized election cycle, where support for one candidate often means complete hatred of the other.Both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have spoken against the firebombing in North Carolina, with Trump calling the attackers “animals,” while Clinton said the attack was “horrific.”
