Do you know these boys? You know what's going on in their heads. Nice Christian forgiveness going on in this thread. HE didn't kill, hurt or steal. He did something very, very stupid. I think he's getting the adequate punishment, which is public scorn.
No he didn't "kill" but he tried to. He tried to "kill" the honor and respect represented by that monument. He definitely "hurt" every veteran and family member whose loved one is represented by the monument. And finally, he definitely did "steal" away into the night, like the snake he is, after his despicable and totally hateful act.
