Windshield-smashing rhetoric

Sunday night, someone, presumably one of our Coastside neighbors, tore down campaign signs in front of Mayor Jim Grady’s house, then they took a moment to smash the windshield of Grady’s car with a rock.

After I heard this at Tuesday’s City Council meeting, I started and abandoned several editorial pieces on the anger and bitterness of some of the rhetoric I’m hearing in this campaign, not from the candidates, but from ordinary citizens.

But this has just left me speechless.
