Desecration of a WW2 Memorial

"I witnessed something today that outraged me! I was driving down Broadway in Somerville. I stopped behind a bus waiting to pull into Clarendon Station. I looked over to my right and saw young people (early to mid 20's) go into the Somerville Veterans Memorial Cemetery. As they approached the statue, I saw them grab the 3 or 4 mini flags that were placed in from of the statue. The guy took the flags and tossed them behind the statue.

What I saw him do next pushed me to a point where I said to myself "ENOUGH". The guy started urinating on the flags. I quickly pulled over, got out of my car and headed over to them.

The girl was standing by the gate (she must have been the look out). I started yelling at them to stop, asking him as I approached 'what the hell he was doing'. He stopped urinating, pulled up his pants and started walking out of the memorial. Both of them walked up Broadway laughing. I walked behind them for awhile telling everyone I pass what they did.

I went back to the memorial to see what damage was done (see photo). An older gentleman came over and thanked me for taking a stand. He told me he has 2 friends buried there.

Still outraged, I felt I needed to do more. So I got back in my car and drove up Broadway (toward Tele Sq) to see if I could find them. I wanted photos of them. I saw them walking up Broadway. I pull over across the street and waited for them to catch up. They were across the street and I snapped a few photos from my car (see attached photos).

What possible reason could they have for desecrating a WW2 Memorial?? There are consequences for our actions. They probably thought no would do anything. They were WRONG!

UPDATE... After reviewing over 800 comments I understand everyone's outrage but do not condone taking action into your own hands. I fully intend to file a report with the police and share all information that I have. Taking action into your own hands will only distract from what they did. Don't give them anything to use in their favor. Thank you.

UPDATE...I met with a detective from Somerville PD this morning. I gave them my statement and all photos. They are all over this.

During China’s Cultural Revolution, enormous gangs of “students”, the Red Guard, tried to destroy everything of cultural value. They trashed museums and burned libraries, destroyed treasured buildings, and abused many innocent people, with vast numbers being sent to reeducation camps for slave labor and torture.

However, their mistake was pillaging a military base, whose commander, a good party member, let them do this while he made some phone calls. From that point, the Red Guard were told is they so much as set foot on a military base, that foot, and any other body parts, would be chopped off.

I mention this in comparison to these desecrating thugs, who if they could, would do the same. A great reason for gun liberty.

And yet they still like to say that the Tea Party is un-American! It’s time to right those wrongs, and by any means necessary. Let’s not waste this golden opportunity!

She looks like the typical socialist warrior with the scowl and doo. They remind me of the ole “Rot Front, Rot Front!” types. No prison terms for them, a better punishment would be public service at a VA facility for 2 years.

Idiots. Literally.

Not only have they no respect, no gratitude, but they are stupid - go ahead, mark yourself up with stupid permanent tats and let us all easily ID you.

Usually an actual national cem will call itself that. This may be local only. Definitely a very small gravesite! But also quite uniform, so not sure.

OK, now I get it - this is on Facebook.

I take it you RevMom are NOT the witness/participant in this story?

also saw some news articles that police are investigating. Don’t know what they’d charge him with or how diligent they are, I’ve seen criminal vandal violent protesters get cut loose once media attention quieted down.

Turtleboy has this one covered pretty extensively.

WARNING: Turtleboy is a great media outlet, and often posts from the rationale/WTF is this SJW BS angle conservatives enjoy, but it is definitely soft R-rated for profanity, childishness, and pictures of society's marginal people who may/may not be clothed appropriately for the public square or behaving in public within the confines of basic human dignity.

Good for you. A prime example of why we should all be vigilant. Great follow through with the photos and the police. Hope they get nailed. Thank You!

NMy bet is nothing will be done by the police.

You’re better off finding someone with ahem “family” connections to have their kneecaps busted.

“public service at a VA facility for 2 years.”

Or send them to Afghanistan to burn the sh*t barrels.

The kid looks pretty well fed. I think they should mysteriously disappear and end up in Venezuela.

it definitely looks like a queer twat. and the thing next to it looks like a skank. He/it even holds a cigarette like a fag.

You were more restrained than I would have been. My father and my uncles were WWII combat veterans. I grew up in Dorchester when it was largely working class and carry lessons learned from my upbringing there to this day. And I always carry a steel mallet and a metal baseball bat in my trunk....

Please note it’s pretty clear this was only posted from seeing something on Facebook. Don’t know how close the FB poster is to FR’s poster, but I think OP here just posted what was up on FB.

She wears boots with shorts, and he doesn’t wear socks.
