| Vandals With Political Message Hit Seattle Businesses |
| 2004-08-11 |
| EFL SEATTLE - Someone is targeting local mom and pop stores in Seattle, breaking windows and spray-painting graffiti with an anti-war message. Since July 4, they've attacked nearly 20 small businesses. Darlene Jones is putting the best face possible on her Sand Point Way gas station. But behind her paint and the plywood, you can see the windows that someone shattered about 2:30 in the morning. Jones discovered the damage. "The whole entire place was full of glass and I was just shaken up at the time and I didn't know if he was still in there, if they were in there at all," she said. At first she thought they were being robbed. Only later did she discover the vandal didn't want money. He was leaving a message: "Out of Iraq." And he left the same message at seven small businesses throughout Seattle. Nice, peaceful peace protesters..... Seattle Police are looking in a particular direction, they believe the suspect may come from the Eugene, Ore. area and could have ties to the Northwest Anarchist movement. They hope to have additional pictures or videotape of a suspect available Wednesday. |

| #6 Just wait, the moonbat's will break into the wrong place and meet up with someone that demonstrates the superiority of the gun vs the spray can. |

| #5 Go ahead, people. Post your "messages" far and wide. Nothing like an overbearing demeanor to turn others off. |

| #2 Eugene. Was planning to post the suspicion before I read it in the article. Reminds me of the WTO fiasco there several years ago. Most of the violent protesters were bussed up from Eugene. |
