Burned and mutilated cat found next to Obama sign in Minneapolis Park

There are some truly evil people among the far right...

MINNEAPOLIS (KMSP) -

Minneapolis Parks employees found a dead cat with a political lawn sign attached to it in the south end of Longfellow Park just after dawn on Monday morning.

Both the FBI and the Secret Service are now involved in the case -- and given the disturbing details of the gruesome display, they say they plan to monitor the case and take action if needed.

The crime is undoubtedly cruel, and the details are more than a little unsettling for many -- especially those who live in the area.

Police told FOX 9 News that the cat's burned body was found staked to a tree stump with a small American flag next to an Obama-Biden 2012 lawn sign. The cat's throat was slashed by the stake that stabbed its neck, holding its corpse to the flat surface of the stump. The small flag was left to stick out of the gash.

3. Another incident that shows the need for more dollars to be directed to providing

mental health services/screenings to those who need them.

However, the people who need these services most are least likely to seek them out....

6. awful

so sad...

I just went down to my car a minute ago (hotel in Columbia, SC) and found my car wrapped in yellow 'CAUTION' tape... probably because of my Obama bumpers stickers.... not nearly as horrendous as the post but still worrisome

8. report it to the hotel and the police so they have a record of it

9. Some sick fuck is channeling Martin Vanger!

To prevent spoilers, I won't mention the book, but there is a wildly popular mystery novel series where this very thing happened. I am a big fan, but I am not a sick fuck. I read that stuff for entertainment, not as an instruction manual.

10. Goddamn motherfucker teabagger evil assholes.

I am beyond enraged. My kitty babies are going to get a tuna treat right now. That is beyond sad. It's gotten to the point where I feel nothing but contempt for Republicans. I have unfriended 5 people from Facebook that I have known for 40 years but I just can't deal with their bullshit selfish, hateful worldview. Life's too damn short. I hope they find the sick sonofabitch that did this. Bless that sweet little baby.
