SOMERVILLE, MASS. (WHDH) - Police are working to identify a person of interest after an Arlington man claims to have witnessed a man urinating on multiple American flags at the Somerville Veterans Memorial Cemetery on Monday.
George Gatteny says he was stopped behind a bus on Broadway near Clarendon Station when he saw two people near a memorial statue, including a man who he claims urinated on four miniature American flags that were torn out of the ground.
“He undid his pants, took himself out and started urinating on the flags,” he told 7News.
Gatteny, shocked by what he was witnessing, got out of his car and confronted the man. He says the suspect laughed in his face and walked off with a woman.
An outraged Gatteny shared several images of the soaked flags and vandalized statue on social media. The post has since gone viral.
“I was surprised. That’s the first time I ever posted anything like that,” he said. “I figured we would get a little bit of activity. I had no idea that it was going to be this viral.”
Gatteny’s 81-year-old father happens to be a war veteran and is upset by the incident.
“I have no idea what would make him do it,” George Gatteny Sr. said. “People do crazy things for crazy reasons.”

Yup, and it’s now running around Facebook thanks to UMCRevMom as well.
I “shared” it further on FB after that thread. :-D
Bet he’ll be plastered all over on FOX tonight!
Baby Hogg might have to step up to defend the POS!
Watch for lots of first amendment support discussion of this case, if discussed at all.
They all fought for the British.
Hmm... lemme see if I can help:
Obama, Holder, Hillary, Pelosi, BLM, Colleges, Democrats in general... I could go on but might miss someone and make them angry.
We have family in Somerville. They wear blue. Place is third world mostly, now.
We only venture into those parts for funerals...
Easy enough to identify the perp. He left his DNA on the flags.
Media: Nothing to see here, just move along...
Well, the obvious solution is to run one of those sticks the flags are attached to right up this sicko’s urethra. Can just see the ER staff now: He’s at half staff.
LMAO.
Sounds fair to me.
After the beating.
My step dad grew up in Somerville and he had some real bad ass friends(Connected) and I wish they were still around to administer some justice. Concrete shoes straight in the Boston harbor. A sort of American Hippy Party.
If a man wants to pee on a flag he owns, on his property, that’s his right to be a jackass.
But what this pig did? No no no. Deserves prison time.
So it’s a tatted up White hipster eh? Figures.
