Vandals dumped a bucket of red paint on a downtown veterans memorial this morning, the fifth anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, in what police suspect was a symbolic act of protest. Passers-by spotted the blood-toned paint on the Anchorage Veterans Memorial, in the Delaney Park Strip off I Street, during the morning commute and reported it to police. The soldier's helmet was blood red, with the paint dripping down to the ground below.
"There's a movement across the country, since it's the fifth anniversary of the war, to protest," police Lt. Paul Honeman said.
Police say they are investigating the vandalism as a crime, and the responsible party could be facing charges of malicious destruction of property or felony criminal mischief, depending on what it cost to clean up the paint, he said.

I’m with ya sistah!
You dear person - I like your plan! There are people in this country who are not worth defending.
These scumbags do not deserve to live in this country. They should be caught and sent to any country of their choice. Any country but America.
‘AYE’
Ping..
When has it not been a crime? Well as we used to see written on bulkheads BOHICA. It shouldn't be happening and the soldier and servicemen should never be the target of anti-war protest.
Some huge mistakes have been made. There should be no war in Iraq to protest as Iraq should have be in smoldering ashes 4 and a half years ago. It wasn't, the war has been drug out for five years, and that has created opportunity for anarchist. Did we not expect any less based on previous national experiences?
When will the United States ever learn from past mistakes? And I don't mean it as an anti-war statement but rather an anti- misguided mission statement in Iraq. That being said I hope they are caught and forced to make restitution. Put their sorry hides on a plane to Iraq and let them re-build Iraq instead.
Aye
The Godless far left is tearing this country apart. They truly sit at the altar of Satan!
Deserves a not-so-symbolic and medieval ass-kicking.
There is no excuse of justification for this.
i want somebody to tell me what the line is that they have cross so we that can finally hurt them.

Lunatic Leftists and irrational folks of all “persuasions” are going to push just a little too far -— and one day they will unleash a response from the rest of us that will shock the world........
It will make the French Revolution look like a Sunday picnic...
I’m already ready...
They’re already dead - to have a beating heart in the land of Freedom and not love and appreciate our veterans and servicemembers; to think “peace” actually has a chance in spite of all known (and unknown, like the Aztec’s) history, without our warriors!?!?!!! DEAD-dead.
Must be some organized insurgency by this rag tag peace protesters because today we had some pitiful little “anti war” uprising here in Arlington Tx of all places. We don’t have protests of any kind here. Ever.
