The anti-military punks are at it again. Reader Nora. A. e-mailed me photos of vandalism yesterday at UNC-Chapel Hill's ROTC armory taken by her son, an ROTC cadet on campus:
This has got to stop. (Hat tip: Sister Toldjah) Via the Raleigh News and Observer:
Vandals staged attacks early Wednesday on the buildings used by the Reserve Officers' Training Corps at N.C. State University and UNC-Chapel Hill, echoing similar assaults on three Triangle recruiting stations last month.
As before, vandals sprayed anti-war slogans and profanity, splashed red paint and claimed responsibility with a mass e-mail message to area media outlets.
Lt. Col. Carol Ann Redfield of the Army ROTC program at N.C. State was caught off guard. "This is the first time I know of that anything like this has happened here," she said. "I certainly appreciate that people have different opinions, and they should be able to express them, but I have a problem when they damage property."
The e-mail, from someone calling himself "celest ialbeing" said, "Stop these recruitment centers that target poor people and people of color to fight to maintain the power structure that (literally and figuratively) imprisons us daily."
The vandals sprayed slogans at the base of an entrance to Reynolds Coliseum, which holds the Department of Military Science, and tossed paint onto an ROTC sign above the entrance.
Investigators had good leads, said Sgt. Jon Barnwell of the N.C. State Police Department.
At UNC-Chapel Hill, campus police spokesman Randy Young said investigators were aware of the e-mail and the link with the attack at N.C. State. "We're certainly looking into that," he said. Investigators think the UNC Naval Armory was attacked between 4 and 5:30 a.m.
Blackfive weighs in.
They've done a good job translating their slogans from the Chinese.
Sounds like it's time for Pershing Rifles, Darby's Rangers, and Scabbard & Blade to start pulling 24/7 Guard Duty.
Vandal targets UW Army station (Madison moonbats at it again)
In that article, one left winger says, “I think actions that will eventually get people onto the streets are what we need. I think this action could be something like that.”
I guess these were the antiwar ANTI-ENVIRONMENT pukes.
"We won't fight your wars" ???
They do understand theat it is a volunteer military don't they?
Probably not.
It's kind of a case of the brainwashed ones viewing the sane ones as brainwashed.
This is clearly HATE SPEECH targeting men and women who feel compelled to defend their country; men and women born to fight for liberty.
How many more HATE CRIMES will our service members, who can't help defending their homeland, have to endure?
< / tongue-in-cheek
I'd rather just call this petty vandalism, done by petty people.
With the red paint and the lettering, this could easily qualify for stalking charges and threatening bodily harm...its not petty vandalism! If this was an individual house..this would be threatening and stalking.
Yeah, you're right. It's a good point. If they target an individual or an individual house, I'll agree with you.
But really, I don't think they're that brave or that serious -- they're just stupid kids, and I hope we don't take them more seriously than they deserve.
Could Someone pleaase explain to these idiots that they don't have to fight in this war?
Ya gotta know that that that's the sort of stuff that makes the kids in ROTC realize and feel like what their doing is important.
To be hated by the right people has always been an honor.
Welcome to the family kids.

Are you allowed to shoot people who destroy your property in North Carolina?
This is kind of off the topic, but my Uncle was in the Darby's Rangers and I was kind of surprised to see them mentioned.
At first, I was going to post a sarcastic comment about "How proud their parents must be". But then I thought about it. Their hippy parents probably ARE proud. And that makes me even more angry.
I'm afraid you're right about the parents.
