VENICE (CBSLA.com) — Vandals defaced a memorial to Vietnam war veterans in Venice – an awful sight on this Memorial Day weekend.

Stewart Oscars welled up as he looked at the vandalized mural located on Pacific Avenue near Sunset Court. It was covered in graffiti from end to end.

“This knocked me out. So sickening. Just sadness…think of all these people. They’re gone,” Oscars said. “I remember the Vietnam war and how friends went to war, and bodies came back. Somehow, it has to be taught that this is not a good idea. This is actually stupid.”

The memorial was dedicated to service members who were listed as missing in action during the Vietnam War...

Not that we needed it, but just another reminder that there are evil people in this world with hate in their hearts.

Apparently all done at the same time, probably by several vandals.

Looks like “noneo”.

Like a preface. As in “noneofyourbusines”.

Police/others might necognize the tag.

Seriously, vandals only stop if they get a whupping. Imagine the headline: “Tagger in hospital, covered in bruises and his own spray paint.”

“I now live north of DC and can go to the big memorial any time I want. I’m actually more moved by the portable one than the permanent memorial”.

Where? I’m in Montgomery County

Sounds about right.

OTOH Venice is about the last place in LA county that I'd expect to see a Vietnam Memorial. (I used to do Vet's employment work in Santa Monica and environs)

As long as Democrats control this country be it electoral positions, or bureaucratic influence there is no hope for recovery.

The Democrats have to be wiped out of power as much as possible, and the system that they have created supporting millions of leftist bureaucrats has to be destroyed.

The majority of those bureaus are unnecessary anyway as they aren’t constitutional entities necessary for the success of our Constitutional Republic under the guidelines of the constitution.

If it was a police memorial they’d already be dead and hanging by their balls.

"They had a Huey Helicopter and an F-4 jet on pedestals high in the air. Once every couple years, the Vietnam Vets moving Memorial would be at the park."

I know it well, I went to "Gun-Stock" a couple of times with the main draw being the Late and Great Mark Scott, "Excelsior my Friend"!

which states are liberal garbage dumps, as if we don’t already...

feeling a little hateful tonight, huh?

Sure there are some states that are terribly liberal, but these days you and i KNOW I CAN point out a sick liberal hypocrisy in any state in the union.

Was kind of shocked by the weak response to the dismantling of everything confederate.

Those statues ain’t up north.

Honestly, I thought hell was going to break loose. But not a whimper. I was very disappointed.

NY, CA, et. al. didn’t force those states to surrender their heritage so easily

“And after the whipping, ten days in stocks just in case any vets couldn’t make it to the whipping.”

only an America hating communist or foreign illegal immigrant would do this

shoot them on federal property and have Trump pardon the shooters and give them medals !
