Vets graves vandalized...this should make you mad

[Ranger12 46]

Sick, sick people in this world. I know I should not think this way but I would like to find who did this before the law would, because I do not think justice would be served if the law did find them first. This goes beyond politics and free speech and into just plain evil.

Vandals Burn Dozens of American Flags Decorating Veterans' Graves, Replace With Swastikas

ORCAS ISLAND, Wash. — Vandals burned dozens of small American flags that decorated veterans' graves for Memorial Day and replaced many of them with hand-drawn swastikas, authorities said Monday.

Forty-six flag standards were found empty and another 33 flags were in charred tatters Sunday in the cemetery, authorities said. Swastikas drawn on paper appeared where 14 of the flags had been.

Members of the American Legion on this island off Washington's northwest coast replaced the burned flags with new ones Sunday afternoon.

The vandals struck again on Memorial Day after a guard left at dawn, the San Juan County sheriff's office said. This time, the vandals left 33 of the hand-drawn swastikas.

"This is not an act of free speech. This is a crime," Sheriff Bill Cumming said in a statement released Monday afternoon.

Sheriff's department officials declined to comment further on Monday.

John Edwards called for this Memorial Day to be celebrated with protests. I guess this counts.

It strikes me as curious that these punks who did this have absolutely no concept of what a 'nazi' is, nor what the swastika of nazi germany means. Nothing American remotely comes close to what those symbols stand for, and they could not have been further from the facts.
