Vandals deface Vietnam war memorial

New Haven (WTNH) _ Veterans are outraged that a war memorial in New Haven has been vandalized.

The Vietnam War Memorial at Long Wharf was spray painted with the threatening words "Kill whites MS 13."

Seeing this just crushed the veterans we spoke to. The names on that wall that are covered in paint, are the names of those who fought and died for this country in the Vietnam War. Tonight, police are investigating whether this is the work of a violent street gang, but the veterans we spoke to, say whoever they are, aren't as tough as they might think

Illegal aliens- vandalizing memorials that Americans won’t vandalize.

Carolee seems to have, more commas than she knows what, to do, with. (Hey, I had to get rid of a few myself. Those are ‘07 commas!)

Don’t think illegal immigration is a problem up in CT? Guess what - the illegals brought their gangs along with them. MS-13 is Mara Salvatrucha.

If MS 13 wants to declare war on whites, bring it on. These punks would be wiped out in minutes.

Kill whites? Is this a hate crime? Let’s not forget that New Haven offers sanctuary to illegals...

Hmm. Well, New Haven has long had a problem with black gangsters, going back to the Huey Newton days. So now we have Mara Salvatrucha as well. Things must be getting pretty ugly.

I had a friend on the Yale faculty who came down to NYC for his weekends, and said that it was a great relief to be able to walk around the Village without worrying about being mugged, something he could not do in New Haven.

It looks like MS-13 must be spreading all over the country. That’s all we need.

Kill is a bit over the top, I hope they catch the culprits and make them clean the monuments up, and have to ta take a toothbrush to the streets of New Haven to clean the gutters.

I’m having my doubts about who did this. I can’t see a group as well organized as MS13, wasting their time in such juvenile pursuits. Mayhap some local idiots are the true culprits?

This is really going to help the plight of ILLEGAL ALIENS — it will get them deported...

I’m having my doubts about who did this.

Yeah, I agree. MS 13 tags seem to (typically) be more elaborate, and from experience, Central Americans are incredibly reluctant to describe or think of themselves as "non-white."
