A bullet hole was discovered in a storefront window at the Bernie Sanders campaign headquarters in northwest Las Vegas on Thursday morning, the same day the Democratic presidential candidate was on site, Metro Police said today.

Officers responded just before noon to the campaign office at 815 South Rainbow Blvd., near Alta Drive, authorities said. Police said it appears a bullet went through the window but declined to comment on whether a shot had been fired.

The Sanders campaign on Monday called the bullet hole “an issue of serious concern” but did not elaborate on specifics of the situation.

"It is being investigated by the appropriate authorities,” said Jeff Weaver, Sanders’ campaign manager. "Beyond that, we generally don’t like to talk about security matters. We’ll just leave it there — just to say that it’s a serious concern."

According to KMBC.com, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson revealed that Bernie Sanders would likely be granted Secret Service protection based on the sheer numbers of the crowds he draws at his events. Sanders requested the Secret Service protection after Johnson made the announcement.

Rumors have floated about the Secret Service for days, especially since Bernie’s meeting with the President earlier this week, but until now it remained unofficial. Petitions were circulated on Change.org to compel the Obama Administration to provide a Secret Service detail for him. The petition received more than 10,000 signatures.
...
While he was relatively ignored, he was safe, but now that Bernie is gaining traction among demographics other than young, white males, his exposure level in the media has increased. This makes him more threatening to the establishment, and to people who believe his proposals would begin us down a Soviet-like road to dictatorial communism.

With just days left before the Iowa caucuses, Bernie’s popularity is soaring to unheard of levels. Iowa governor Terry Branstad told discussed the possible record turnouts for the nation’s first primary caucuses.

6. Shudders.

This whole thing scares me. I know people are thinking 1968. How can you say it without actually saying it. Fighting the powers is no picnic.

7. Oh, please. It was some good young boy showing his little sister how to load

the gun. You can't have kiddies handle guns without training them properly. But things don't always work out as planned. As Jeb! would say, "Stuff happens."

Never forget--it was a good child with a gun.
