COBB COUNTY, Ga. -- Several residents of a Cobb County neighborhood believe someone vandalized their houses and cars early Wednesday morning because of their political leanings.

The attacks all happened near Legacy Park Circle in Kennesaw.

LaBarbara Nattiel and her family were watching Barack Obama’s acceptance speech together.

"It was really a glorious night, it sure was," said Nattiel. "Then I heard, 'Boom, boom, boom.'"

It's was Nattiel’s daughter who realized what was happening.

"And she said, 'Mom, mom, mom! We're being paintballed,'" said Nattiel. "I didn't know what that meant but then we came out and paint was everywhere."

Dozens of paintball shots covered their house and their cars in bright pink splashes.

It was the same story in another part of Legacy Park.

"Well, initially I was very angry. I was very, very angry and now I'm just sort of disappointed that people in our neighborhood reacted that way," said resident Lori Thompson.

Thompson and the others are convinced they were targeted because of their Obama campaign signs.

There were at least four homes with Obama signs hit.

“It’s just sad, it’s just really, really sad," said Nattiel.

Thompson said she will one day remind her son what happened, to describe the unfortunate reaction in their neighborhood on a historic day.

"I’m going to keep that sign up now because of what happened. I was ready to take it down now that he's won but we'll keep it up," said Thompson.
