Minneapolis: Burned cat, anti-Obama message near polls draw Secret Service

[DonRedwood]

The body of a burned cat and a message directed to President Barack Obama were found in Longfellow Park, federal officials said.

Minneapolis police, the FBI, the U.S. Secret Service and other agencies responded to the message a parks employee found Monday, Aug. 13, near the Longfellow Park and Recreation Center, a voting location used in Tuesday's primary election.

Man...this is just sick. But it shows you who we are up against.

1. That's twisted...

I don't understand the need to murder a cat to send a political message. Well I don't have words for how sick this is. I don't think the neighborhood is going to just sit back and be ok with this. It will probably drive even more democrats to the polls. I still don't see a bright side though even if it does get more people out to vote. Just a sad sad commentary on how nuts conservatives are.

2. An example of what Pro-life means to them....

3. Animal abusers are monsters

I really hate people who harm innocent animals. I'm getting sick of this kind of thing. There need to be some laws with teeth concerning animal abuse.

7. Amen to that.

I am by nature a peaceable person, but I would happily take a ball-peen hammer to people who torture innocent animals.

4. "...the need to murder a cat to send a political message."

I wonder if it was a "black cat" (the article didn't specify). It would be in keeping with the right-wing's racist symbolism.

5. I agree that it's sick

The sympathy ploy is getting OLD (and accuing victims ). I wish that more people were not so naive that this stuff is happening during an election cycle

8. Whoever did this may very well move on to killing Obama supporters.

Serial killers start with animals.

9. Well, their intent is to scare you into thinking you could be next

I hope whoever did it goes to jail.
