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.

awww it was a looong time agooo, but memories and allegiance rarely fade...
I’d make the vandals clean it up with the tip of their nose,no matter how long it took...sorta like trainning a puppy and then I’d deport them

Your pretty nice about it. I would go with your plan, if I could have a drone follow them during their deportation and then call in an air strike when they get home.

something like this:

The first time this happened the vandals also painted "Kill whites...." on the memorial.

There is no word of that happening this time and the press coverage has failed to mention that it was the case the first time.

This seems so much more serious and insulting than somebody purportedly finding a noose hanging on a door knob...yet no call for a hate crime or the Justice Department.

Why no street protests for justice here?

Why no street protests for justice here?

..it's called conditioning.

That is a dang good question.
