San Diego police are investigating a possible case of vandalism against a high-profile labor leader. Lorena Gonzalez is CEO of the San Diego Imperial Counties Labor Council. Monday night the police received a report that a brick had been thrown through the front window of Gonzalez's San Diego home.

In a column posted on her Facebook page about the incident, Gonzalez said local Republicans have told her via twitter that she "was being watched." Though she says the incident could have been a coincidence. Republican bloggers have denounced the act.
