Vandals descrate soldiers graves
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.
Investigators believe there's more than one culprit, based on the number of flags that were vandalized, Cumming said in a telephone interview. But authorities have no suspects, he said.
The sheriff said deputies were trying to lift fingerprints off what little physical evidence they were able to recover.

Not currently, but I'm pretty sure I can find a fairly full septic tank that is big enough they can drown in.

Police Officers put themselves at risk for strangers every day. Some do not make it home to their families. Next time you think of saying something negative about the police, remember...YOU are one of the strangers.

I think that kind of behavior should be a capital crime. If it happens in front of me, it just might be.
"Somewhere a True Believer is training to kill you.
He is training with minimum food or water, in austere conditions, day and night.
The only thing clean on him is his weapon.
He doesn't worry about what workout to do---his rucksack weighs what it weighs, and he runs until the enemy stops chasing him.
The True Believer doesn't care "how hard it is"; he knows he either wins or he dies.
He doesn't go home at 1700; he is home.
He knows only the Cause.
Now, who wants to quit?"
"I am only one, but I am one. I can not do everything, but I can do something. And because I can not do everything I will not refuse to do the something that I can do. What I can do I should do. And what I should do, by the Grace of God, I will do."

They don't let us hang people anymore so how about, under18 they get maximum fine and 200 hours community service in a VA hospital. If they are over 18, maximum fine, 6 months in jail and 200 hours community service in a VA hospital.
All community service to be supervised. My recomendation for a supervisor would be Gunny Ermey from mail call.If you can't do it from a boat. Do you really want to do it?

I think if I caught them, I'd make a call to the local national guard units, VFW and american legion and ask if they had someplace I could drop these guys off at.

Whatever happened to the good old days, when the judge could give the option of jailtime or military service. I bet there are more than a few DI's in Paris Island who'd just love to get their paws on these nuts...

Something tells me this is going to be a bunch of young punks who think this is some joke. If they dont get much in court, (which we know they wont), I like the idea of community service in a VA hospital followed by more service in the cemetary cleaning all Veterans graves with a toothbrush!!!! Hell after that give them one way tickets to friggen Germany.

Louisiana requires the offender pay a $25.00 fine when commiting a simple battery of any person who commits a flag desecration... Here's my $25, where are they?
