Graffiti Threatening Gov. Moonbeam Shows Up in Santa Ana

This is curious:

Graffiti threatening Gov. Jerry Brown’s life was found in two places in Santa Ana Thursday, according to police.

Santa Ana police were called at 7 a.m. about threatening graffiti on Greenville Street north of Alton Avenue, Santa Ana police Cpl. Anthony Bertagna said.

The graffiti read, “We gonna kill Gov. Brown 2 14 11,” Bertagna said.

Between 2:15 p.m. and 2:30 p.m., a Santa Ana police officer saw more threatening graffiti at 1700 W. Segerstrom Ave., Bertagna said.

The vandal spray-painted in red, “27 more days 4 Brown” and included a swastika, Bertagna said, adding someone later painted over the red “7″ with a black “6″ as if it were a countdown.

“We don’t know if they’re related or not,” Bertagna said.

Santa Ana police alerted the California Highway Patrol, which protects the governor, Bertagna said. CHP investigators will take the lead in the investigation, he added.

Santa Ana seems an odd place for this to appear. The heavily Hispanic city probably voted overwhelmingly for the new/old governor. The other mystery is the Valentine's Day date on the threats. Nobody can seem to figure out how that day would factor into this threat. I think we can safely say that when Feb. 14th comes around the CHP will ensure that Brown will be nowhere near Santa Ana.
