My pal VNDNBRG had an interesting comment under the Cantor: I Didn't Know Shot Was Random Until After My Presser post.
Cantor is a liar:
It was a nondescript building (no signage at all), bullet through 1st floor window (Cantor used 2nd floor for meetings once in a while), and building was not in his district (Richmond is in Bobby Scott's 3rd district). It was a threat all right!
Yeah, a threat to whoever was located on the first floor.
VNDNBRG was angry enough to do a little poking around.
He struck gold.
Here's a photo of the building that was hit:
The round struck with enough force to break the windowpane but did not penetrate the window blinds.” The building, as you can see from this picture, does not show any visible sign that it belongs to Cantor.
Here is a map of the district in question via Bobby Scotts homepage. The dot on Richmond closely corresponds with the Google map of building address:

Now check out the address at the bottom of Cantor's own page (click to enlarge):
That's right. Eric Cantor doesn't refer to the building that took the bullet. The address for their Richmond office:
March 25, 2010
The Richmond Police Department is investigating an act of vandalism at the Reagan Building, 25 E. Main St., Richmond, Virginia.
How does he dress himself in the morning? He apparently doesn't even know his own office address. And if he does use that other office, it must be only occasionally, because he forgot what floor it was on.
Maybe his advisers could remind him:
There is no sign identifying the light-green building as the campaign headquarters for Cantor, although its principal occupants, Ray Allen Jr. and M. Boyd Marcus Jr., are well-known in the political community as advisers to Cantor. It is identified as the Reagan Building.
Reminder of what Cantor said:
"Just recently I have been directly threatened. A bullet was shot through the window of my campaign office in Richmond this week, and I have received threatening emails," Cantor said, citing the fact that he is an elected official, and that he is Jewish.
Excellent work, Agent VNDNBRG!
