Vandals are compounding the grief of a Tri-state soldier's family.

Not even 24-hours after Private First Class Tim Hines's wife and family said goodbye at his funeral, American flags that had adorned their Fairfield yard were piled beneath a car and burned....

ONE neighbor. Why is everyone putting so much stock in ONE neighbor. It was probably his kid, and he is in CYA mode.

[Rightly Biased]

Let us know when you find out will ya?

look above

and they did start trouble, didn't they? I hope they are willing to deal with the consequences of their actions when they are caught. IF they are caught. I want to know where the parents of these kids are? I want to know their ages. I want to know what time this was done. I want to know why these kids weren't home minding their own business instead of looking for trouble.

[Rightly Biased]

Thanks-- I love FR we do so much more than gripe and complain about injustices and wrongdoings we act on them.

[cubreporter]

Oh yeah, easy to blame it on the middle class. What about all the lower class and UPPER class who have kids who get in trouble. All kids can get into dutch no matter their financial status....

These kids were rotten to the core. Poor, upper OR middle class.

It was probably his kid, and he is in CYA mode.

People are putting stock in the neighbor because using the neighbor as a guide gives us more evidence than the rest of the knee-jerkers on this thread saying, "It MUST be those librulls!!!one!"

How about the fact that it's a heavily GOP area? I find it far more likely that it was a couple of drunk kids doing something stupid, than to say that a couple of Moveon types hunted down the address and drove over there.

I won't go into my personal experiences but you can always go to Amazon and pick up a copy of "In Love And War" by James and Sybil Stockdale. Yes. The late James Stockdale. You can learn all about the "anti-war movement," their tactics during the Vietnam war and the techniques they used to harrass the families of fallen soldiers and POWs. Check it out.

Your link doesn't work. Anyone have a working link?

[Jackknife]

Nevermind. The link at the very top works. Sorry.

[muslims=borg]

Time for some frontier justice. These maggots are gonna pay.

[DJ MacWoW]

I find it highly dubious that there's rogue band of liberals looking to disgrace the flag and piss on the country.

Never read DU?

[Thombo2]

Kramer,"I don't think it's a political statement.I don't think it's random,i think it's some really stupid kids."I'm inclined to agree with Kramer on 2 points he made.1)i doubt it was random,and 2)it probably was kids.However,I completely disagree with Kramers first assertion that it wasn't a political statement.IMO anyone who burns our flag is certainly making a political statement.

[PioneerDrive]

liberalism is a religion of peace... right?

[muslims=borg]

I think they will find them quickly, in most neighborhoods you sort of know who the trouble makers are and kids talk. The problem is these punks don't fear anything anymore, not the police and not their parents. I hope an angry mob gets them first.

[GodBlessUSA]

I agree 100% let them rot in jail and following...Hell

This is heartbreaking. I pray they get caught. And please... PUNISHED severely

I'm so angry to read this!

[GodBlessUSA]

Check this one out. I thought of you after reading that last thread. Just when I thought that politician made me angry. This is just beyond disgusting also. Looks like we'll all have to start taking road trips.

Another story in the same news site: 19 yr old punk rapes and beats toddler to death....

Story on TV (FNC) while I'm reading stories on computer: Punks throw chunks of concrete and firecrackers at truck driver, taunt him when his truck goes out of control and he's seriously injured...

People, it's time to jerk a knot in these teenagers' pants! If you have one, teach them about honor and respect. (And a little God wouldn't hurt either!)

If you don't, keep an eye out for the little animals.

Junior:"Catch 'em and turn 'em over to me."

Matchett-PI: "Like everyone else, you exhibit an innate sense of right and wrong and justice. From where did everyone get those ideas?

Junior: "Socialization early in my life."

So "everyone" got those ideas from "socialization in YOUR early life"?
