NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- New Haven's Vietnam War Memorial has been hit by vandals for the second time in two weeks.

Both times, the memorial on Long Wharf was defaced by a spray painted message touting a violet street gang known as MS-13.

Police said the gang, with roots in El Salvador, is not known to be active in New Haven.

City officials said they are considering putting up cameras near the memorial to help protect it from future vandalism.

No arrests have been made. The city plans to clean the monument on Monday.

Or maybe it’s who they say they are. MS13 (and spinoffs and wannabees) are all over the U.S.

Security worked fine. Just like the planned virtual fence.

That’s okay. I think the Vets will take care of them no matter what.

If not MS13, when they go to jail, let the REAL MS13 know they were using their name to deface Vietnam Memorial - hey you never know how these guys’ll react to that.

I doubt this was done by MS13. More likely it was a bunch of locals in pink.

Can we please just agree that MS-13 is a foreign based organization with the purpose of subverting the law, and therefore treat these foreign nationals as enemy agents and the citizens as traitors?

I still have to wonder if this isn’t the work of the anti-war left.

No, it's the conservatives did it to pin the blame on the left.

AGAIN?!

And the locals don’t have this place under 24/7 armed guard, yet?

Hey, I know it’s winter, but “Fool me once...”

I concur. Probably race baiting anti war protesters.

Needs a drone that can perform a airstrike.

I’d recommend a built-in 360-degree flamethrower wired into a fume detector.

If you wanna catch somebody, you don’t announce that you’re installing cameras!

OTOH, if you aren't interested in catching someone, but want to hope for a deterrent effect, you announce it.

I'm 100% serious. I think the Connecticut legislature should authorize shooting to kill anyone carrying paint, acid, chalk, or anything that might be used to deface a state monument withing 100 feet of the monument. Think of the defacing and the shooting as competing types of "free speech."

This is a turf declaration,and fer sure a homeland terror and a direct slap in the face of Democracy and Federalism...a statement saying “we dont give a rats ass about your system and those that defended it”.....is this becomming a problem else where?

Now an undisclosed video be it pri or gov from a news stand office bldg etc....or best yet, don't tell any one; a “moored vessel” with in feet...

Just defacing the monuments that Americans won’t deface.
