At least two fire bombs were thrown at the Fort Worth office of state Sen. Wendy Davis (D) on Tuesday night, according to the Star Telegram. Davis was not in her office at the time, but some staff members were present. They used a fire extinguisher to put out the small blaze. No one was injured in the attack, but the lawmaker’s office was damaged by the fire. “It’s unfortunate when things like this happen in the public arena,” she said. “It reminds us of how important it is for us to remain very civil in our discourse and to work not to foment this kind of anger in our community as we discuss things that are challenges that we all face and care about.” Anthony Spangler, Davis’ communications director, said he had no idea what motivated the attack. “We have an office that’s open to the public all the time, and so we’re always potentially vulnerable to things like this. We’re thankful that no one was injured. We hope that the investigation is concluded quickly and that they identify the suspect.” A maintenance worker pursued the suspect out of the building, but was unable to catch him. Davis is a first-term senator who beat a Republican incumbent in 2008. She had been locked in a court battle over redistricting. “Thank you all for your expressions of support and concern,” she said on Twitter after the attack. “My team and I are concentrating on moving forward and staying focused.”

Cedric Steele was arrested for this. A black, homeless man. I wonder... Since wendy Steele is white, and Steele is black, will there be Federal hate- crime charges leveled against him? Being a socialist propganda sock- puppet, I doubt you'll push for that. After all, only *white* people can be charged with "hate" crimes, eh?

Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
I'm really surprised they arrested him at all, hell everbody knows (eyes rolling) that it was the Tea Party that did it!!!
"If you voted for Obama in 2008 to prove you're not a racist, you'll need to vote for someone else in 2012 to prove you're not an idiot."
loonymom, ming, e-type jackoff, goober56, wreck, cal-CON, rabid dog, dummy DwarF, biff, harrowup the communist, and meguro. You're on the "a waste of human flesh" list. Brian S[ocialist], you're a propagandist moron. ALL of you can piss off.
