A man in Henderson, Kentucky has been arrested, accused of damaging with a vehicle more than 150 crosses that were part of a Memorial Day display commemorating those serving in the military.

Police said about 160 crosses were knocked down, and 20 were destroyed on Saturday, the Gleaner reported. They were part of a park display of 5,000 crosses that included the names of Henderson residents who have served in the military.

Anthony Burrus, 27, was arrested after his vehicle was found parked with pieces of a cross in its tires. Burrus denied responsibility for the damage but said he had been driving the vehicle, the Gleaner reported. He has been charged with first-degree criminal mischief and leaving the scene of an accident.

Many town residents worked to repair the display after the vandalism.

“This town loves their veterans, and this is proof,” said Jim Hanley, a member of the Legion, a member of the American Legion, according to the Gleaner. “We take care of each other around here, and this situation is no different.”

Another “If Obama had a son” story. I was at a Memorial Day event today hosted by the American Legion. Out of the hundreds who attended, the only black person I saw was the Governor’s representative, who was there to read the governor’s proclamation.

But, but ... he said he was not responsible!! (With pieces of crosses stuck in his tires). This is typical liberal behavior.

“Oh, I’m going to make a statement about the war and so on. Oh, I got caught, oh, well, you know, I didn’t do it.’

Immoral, irresponsible, juvenile actions that shows that liberal behavior is insane.

Just another “justice involved” youth treated unfairly by a racist court system run by Whites.

Prosecute as a hate crime? Since the laws are on the books in most places, seems like perfect time to use them.

I was going to remark that he should be made to help restore the damage he caused but after second thoughts, I wouldn’t want him anywhere that memorial.
