New Mexico GOP headquarters attacked in apparent arson incident.

The New Mexico GOP headquarters was attacked in an apparent arson incident. Fox News. Firefighters responded to the fire shortly after the attack, greatly limiting the damage. No injuries were caused but the building suffered damage to the front doors and smoke damage inside. A political motive seems obvious as the building also had been vandalized with spray-paint saying "ICE=KKK". The attack is one of a series against Republicans, or people perceived to be Republicans, since Trump was sworn in as president. Local Democrats condemned the attack while law enforcement at the local and federal level investigate the attacks.  

My Comment:

Looks like another politically motivated attack against Republicans, this time in New Mexico. New Mexico is a semi-solid blue state so it's not like Republicans are actually doing much in the state. This is pure spite by the folks that did this. 

The wave of terrorism we are seeing reminds me of the days of rage back in the 1970's. Back then there was a large amount of attacks against the system conducted by far left activists. A few people even died during these attacks. Back then it was mostly the Vietnam war but today it's, well, I am not sure why these folks are even upset. 

The situation isn't exactly the same now though. Back then the militant left was on the ascent but today they are on a serious decline. The attack on the GOP headquarters in New Mexico and the attacks on Tesla across the nation (despite the cars mainly being owned by leftists) are a rear-guard action for a movement that lost all credibility after Donald Trump was elected for a 2nd term. 

If this attack is an anti-immigration enforcement action, then it's another example of how out of touch these folks are. Very few people are on the side of the illegal immigrants, especially the ones that are actual gang members. It's an 80-20 issue that the left is on the wrong side of. I guess it's possible the attack was conducted by an illegal immigrant but my guess is that this was done by antifa or a similar group. 

I do think it's only a matter of time before someone is hurt or killed in these kinds of attacks. Honestly, given the assassination attempt on Trump where he himself was injured along with a few other people, and a man, Corey Comperatore, was killed, they kind of already have been. In this case there wasn't anyone at the GOP headquarters when it was attacked but if folks had been there and the fire department wasn't on the ball, someone could have been hurt or killed. 

The problem is that I am not exactly impressed with how the Justice Department and FBI are being led right now. Kash Patel hasn't done much and what Pam Bondi has done is mostly go on Fox News and talked instead of actually doing anything to stop the problem. 

And I think if they put the effort in they could. The entire FBI was directed to focus on the folks that protested on January 6th so we know they have the ability to go after people if they actually want to. I am guessing the anti-Trump and anti-Tesla networks could have been disrupted easily if the FBI was actually trying. But as of now they are not and it's not great that we aren't seeing the same kind of reform at Justice as we are in other aspects in government.
