Vandals ruined a new auditorium at a Richmond elementary school Sunday, causing close to $1 million in damage, police said.

The perpetrators broke into the new Nystrom Elementary School building in the afternoon, said Richmond police Lt. Bisa French. They flooded the auditorium floor, splattered paint over almost every surface and broke all the windows.

"Usually when there's vandalism at a school, we think it's kids," she said. "But this is a lot of malicious damage - a lot of the damage that occurred isn't typical of kids."

Check out the reporter's name. Geez........

French said police are looking at disgruntled employees as possible suspects, as well as those with knowledge of the alarm and heating systems.

Union members would never do such a thing.

Amish homeschoolers, I'm thinking.  Or a Tea Party gone wild.  Yep.

Richmond, Ca - what a hellhole.  I grew up there many years ago.  It was a nice city with some bad areas then.  Now the whole is city is a rotten.  My first thought was those darn Amish kids but this sounds like more of the union thug type of vandalism.
