A reporter for a “progressive” newspaper was shocked on Sunday to learn her place of businesses wasn’t exempt from left-wing violence just because they were liberal-leaning themselves.
In another tragic example of chickens coming home to roost, INDY Week reporter Leigh Tauss posted photos of the small publication’s office in Raleigh, North Carolina, its windows smashed out and is offices decimated by violent rioters who’ve taken to the streets of many American cities this week to wreak havoc seemingly on anyone they can target.
“I’m devastated. We are a progressive newspaper. Last night I was inside when the first brick was thrown,” Tauss wrote on Twitter.

Thankfully, it appears no one was hurt in the attack. But similar violence in cities across the nation have seem a slew of people assaulted, dragged out of cars, beaten with wooden sticks, punched, kicked and knocked unconscious. And it looks like left-wing news outlets, which have long carried water for violent rioters in the wake of police shootings, are finding they aren’t immune to the carnage.
Rioters also vandalized CNN’s headquarters in Atlanta last week, as journalists and reporters hunkered down upstairs watching as their lobby was overrun.
