MADISON (WKOW) -- The vandalism of a coffee shop on Madison's east side appears to be motivated by the recall effort.
Someone threw a rock through the front window of The Victory on Atwood Avenue at about 6:30 p.m. Tuesday night.
The business has signs opposing Governor Scott Walker. In the past, it also had signs supporting state Supreme Court candidate Joanne Kloppenburg.
Paul Houseman was in the shop at the time and was nearly hit by the rock. He said he was shocked by what happened.
"No matter what your political affiliation, it seems to me that when you start using violence, we're lost as a society. I don't care what side you stand on," said Houseman.
The rock had a note wrapped around it that made sarcastic comments about voting for Kloppenburg. It also threatened that there were "more acts to come."
Madison police are investigating the vandalism.
