Perfect.
And then probably get their asses beat by the tougher recruits. Still appropriate.

“I do believe that this wasnt just a prank but kids from leftist households who went out to make a statement. They knew what they were doing and they knew the message that they wanted to send.”
So the police captain who investigated it is a liar?
BTTT
You have inside info that this police captain doesn’t have?
Just curious.
I tend to agree with you. The flag is never a target of “random” vandalism. Anyone who burns a flag is making a political statement. These horrid, ignorant kids were going to “show George Bush” or some such nonsense. Only after it was shown to be a brave Marine’s burial flag did they decide to stash their “radical” credentials in the closet.

“I vote we bring back public flogging.
This would end most vandalism in a matter of weeks. Flog a few wiseacre kids in public, and word will get around. Do it in every state, every city, every town. Suddenly the little bastages will start to behave.”
Seems to work in Singapore!
Hence, I characterise that "police captain's" comments as bullcrap.
“Believe it...after all it is the Waste Coast, where liberal (hate America) indoctrination begins while in the womb for many...”
IF they even make out of the womb alive.

“I think Marine Corps boot camp in lieu of a short prison sentence would be appropriate.”
Thanks, but No Thanks. Marines are made of better stuff.

I agree with first part of your post. I have a little problem with this part. It should be for two years, and they should have to do it every weekend of that two years. I’d give them a break if they enlist, suspending sentence pending completion of their first enlistment.

You asked me, Is the police captain a liar? We live a politically correct world, the PC will say what he believes will bring less heat. What are you trying to infer? do you know him and want to say something. I guess you question nothing and take everything a face value. Good for you I have some land to sell you in case your interested.
I like the saying...
Gracesdad, I believe you are wrong, at best. Are you saying that burning NINE American flags is just a mistake?
This is the result of the Stalinist teacher’s union. The thugs were only “highly upset” that they got caught.
“... And they ought to go to a couple of Marine funerals, maybe a tour of boot camp, ...”
Never mind a “tour” — their punishment should be forced enlistment, per court order, into the Marines; but then again, these efeminate spoiled-rotten wiesels probably would not survive the first week at 99 Palms.

Thanks, Lady Jag, Fawnn, thanks for the bump!
They’re 17. Make them join the Marines.
