a bunch of dumb twitter Hillary supporters (Anil Dash, wonkette, Brianna Wu) raised $10000 to help rebuild it, then had second thoughts and started apologizing

Miss Henson's 6th grade class - 2016-10-19 I had the same thoughts as Bobonne. It is a nice gesture, though. But at the same time, we don't know who did this. I don't want to go all conspiracy nut, but earnestly hope it was some sort of rightist "false flag" thing and not a Clinton voter. But who knows, right now.

Spaceman Africa - 2016-10-19 I know the word is overused a lot, but if there was ever someone I'd describe as a cuck it'd be the liberals that donated to that.

Wouldn't put it past Trump to do this as a last-ditch effort move to gain sympathy and paint the left in a bad light.
Of course, there's enough shitty people of any given political leaning for this to be easily genuine anti-trump vandalism.
Obviously I'd like to think it's something he'd concoct, and if he didn't he's probably wishing he'd thought of it himself.

bawbag - 2016-10-19 I don't think it even has to be a sanctioned thing on his part (if it was trump supporters), he's set his fans loose to do whatever the fuck they think they should and honestly NC is mostly prime Trump territory (Though Hillsborough is apparently a dem stronghold?).
I don't doubt that some fuckwit idiot on the dem side could be capable of it, but the spraypainted swastikas etc don't really add up to me so i'll wait to see if they figure out the perpetrators before drawing broad conclusions.

Hmmm. I always assumed the NC Reichstag building would be a single-wide.

Also, there's some speculation about (illegally) stored absentee ballots there.

Sanest Man Alive - 2016-10-20 ach, we may need to walk that back: I dug a little deeper just in that thread and turned up a formal correction:
https://twitter.com/greg_doucette/status/788152553104142336
well, one from NBC at least. Couldn't tell if FNC issued a retraction yet, but I've never known them to be big on self-corrections in any case.
Simple miscommunication? Hamfisted appeal to sympathies ("look what those ANIMALS destroyed!") without thought for repercussion? Actual, hastily retracted admission of class I felony? I dunno anymore.

bawbag - 2016-10-20 Yeah the story is very muddy.
