His apology is admirable, and it's more than Cynthia McKinney did... or William Jefferson.... or Sandy Berger...etc.

Good point.

the idiots will blame them for the sun rising.

In the morning, anyway. I'm sure they'll have some other complaint in the afternoon...

...try the North American hemisphere dim wit! And 30 years from now you will still remember yourself as a dim wit and so will we. Some things people will never forget......LOL!

Kind of like Little Mr. Apricot, except that wasn't the fault of the kid. LOL!

Stupid, but I was that stupid many times in my youth. I urinated on my boss' fuse box and blew out all the lights in his house, once. It wasn't intentional, but I was too drunk to ask where the bathroom was, and went outside. I didn't want to make a spectacle of myself.

ROFLOL!

I believe the kid. He got drunk, did something stupid and is embarrassed and remorseful.

It happens when your mugshot ends up on page one.

He said he didn't intend to disgrace anyone -- war veterans or his family -- and he will take responsibility for his actions.


I didn't even know the french language had the capability of expressing such a sentiment!

Yes...and hopefully that humiliation will stay with the young man and he will go on to do great things.

Goodwin is right.

The picture was taken by a veteran who saw the police leave the memorial to deal with the crowds on Canada Day.

Being drunk enough to PEE on Something..you're not a guy, are you?

Why yes I am. I just don't feel the need to say "piss" on a public forum to prove it.

LOL! That wasn't my point...my point is when a guy drinks..he's gotta pee. And when a guy's gotta pee...he's gotta pee!

My take is that the guy is still shading the truth a bit - he says that he was so intoxicated that he has no recollection of peeing on the memorial, but a bit later he says that he remembers thinking that it was just a simple rock.

Those are two different guys.

Yes, but it's nice to see the change anyway.

You might. I won't. I've got more important things to occupy my thoughts. The kids apologized. Forget about it and stop being such a curmudgeon or you will stress yourself into having a heart attack before your 30 years of hand-wringing is complete.

I agree. These guys sound contrite and their explanation is believable. They seem to be taking full responsibility for their stupid mistake and have fully apologized. I'm willing to accept their explanation.
