Early on Friday morning, some moran in Niagara Falls threw a brick through the window of Congresswoman Louise Slaughter's office there.

The damage was discovered about 12:30 a.m., city police said.

The brick put a hole in the outer-most window at the office at 1910 Pine Ave., but did not damage a second interior window, police reported. A piece of broken brick believed to have caused the damage was found at the scene.

Damage was estimated at $350.

This isn't getting a whole lot of coverage--I can't even find anything in Slaughter's hometown paper, the (Rochester) Democrat and Chronicle. I consider this a major journalistic failure. A brick thrown through a lawmaker's office? In the United States? This is an outrage that should be condemned by everyone on the spectrum.

Send condolences at Slaughter's campaign site. And Digg this up.
