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.

Night scoped AR’s, and leave the carcasses for the dawn.

This is ridiculous, and I can only attribute the tolerance of these kinds of abhorent shenanigans on the liberal PC crowd working to convince the rest of the population that we need to be sensitive to the needs of other cultures and that groups like this only act out of desperation due to their socio-economic standing in the world.
Personally, I think we just ain’t killin’ enough of them. Death penalty might not be a great deterrent, but it’s a safe bet that the dead perp won’t bother anyone else, ever again.

I like the idea of a drone that perform an air strike. It can follow them home and take out the entire damn neighborhood. Send a message...

Now I hope we get a couple of veterans there, watching it, armed.

Whether they be Vietnam, Gulf War, or War on Terror veterans. The more the better.

True, but why not catch ‘em, and make ‘em pay for their damage?

Ask the lawyers who have made such things nearly impossible.

I guess that is what makes it funny.

Thanks for your service in the Air Force too. It is greatly appreciated.
