Threats in Colorado Getting Out of Control

There have been accusations across the board of wrongful actions on both sides of the political spectrum as Election Day draws near. This time, the police are getting involved. A bloody dear head was found in the parking lot of Barack Obama's campaign office in Colorado Springs Saturday night.

"Police Lt. David Whitlock says the deer's antlers were cut off to make the head resemble a donkey, the Democratic Party's emblem." The police department released a statement saying the discovery is "a very disturbing event" and is being treated as a direct threat (Examiner).

John McCain's Colorado spokesman Tom Kise says the incident is "despicable" and compared it to an act of hate speech against the Obama campaign (Examiner).

At this point, police have no suspects but are forming a plan of action that involves increased patrolling around all of the city's campaign offices through Nov. 4.
