Madison Police are investigating what they believe was targeted arson and vandalism on the city’s north side. It happened at the office of Family Action Wisconsin, which is a non-profit that supports anti-abortion measures. Police say they believe someone threw a molotov cocktail into the office window Sunday morning, but it didn’t ignite. However, police say it appears someone started a separate fire in response. Video shows a good deal of graffiti on the building, one message reads “if abortions aren’t safe, you aren’t either.” Julaine Appling, President of Wisconsin Family Action, said they receive their fair share of hateful speech in the past, but she never anticipated something like this would happen. She said they’ve been left shaken, scared, and unsure of what will happen next.
