No one was in the book center when the attack took place. The impact from the attack sent shattered glass flying 30 feet. A preliminary report was filed with the Los Angeles Police Department that day.

In May the Socialist Workers campaign was told by the U.S. postal inspector here that “hate mail” had been sent to its address.

In response to the attack, Wendy Lyons, who was the Socialist Workers Party 2005 candidate for mayor of Los Angeles in the recently concluded elections, said, “fortunately no one was seriously injured in the attack. We condemn this assault and call for a full investigation and to arrest those responsible. We will not be intimidated, and will continue to join struggles by workers and farmers and campaign for a revolutionary working-class perspective.”
