The 76-year-old Mojave Cross war memorial in San Bernardino County's High Desert has been torn down by vandals, just days after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the religious symbol could remain -- at least temporarily -- on public land.
Sometime Sunday night, the cross was taken down from its perch atop Sunrise Rock in the Mojave National Preserve, according to Liberty Institute, a group that represented veterans groups and caretakers of the cross in the recent Supreme Court Case.
"This is an outrage, akin to desecrating people's graves," said institute president Kelly Shackelford. "It's a disgraceful attack on the selfless sacrifice of our veterans. We will not rest until this memorial is re-installed."

Yep!
It wasn’t torn down by “vandals”.....it was torn down by liberals who can’t stand losing.
yeppers
Is there a fund to rebuild it?
According to one of the articles I’ve read today, the Supreme Court decided that the cross could stay because it was now on private property. So replacing it should not become a matter for the courts. The cross will be there as long as veterans want to keep it up; which I hope is forever.
The vandalism is just a matter of sore losers “acting out” after the fact. The little pukes will probably surface in a day or two celebrating their great “accomplishment.”
They will eventually be caught. For their sakes, they had better hope it is law enforcement that catches them when the time comes.
There. Fixed it for ya.
First the cross, then the steeple and moving on down to the church with all the people!
They’re scared of us. It’s fear that drives their hatred.
Fox News was showing pics of the site without the cross. sad.
It has already begun in earnest.
The random killing of recruiters and returning vets, stabbings on college campuses, toppling radio towers, throwing bricks through windows of recruiting stations and political opponents, desecrating war memorials all across the nation, rocket launchers being fired at our planes right here in the USA, radical left-wing nut cases attacking the Pentagon, teens storming the gates of military installations, burning down housing developments in process, the murder of anyone standing in the way of the regime...like the soldier who checked the passport files and who knows how many others. All interspersed with terrorist attacks, attempted terrorist attacks and threats of terrorist attacks.
Never would I call you crazy! A voice in the wilderness, perhaps...but not crazy. You have been sounding the alarm for quite sometime. Those who choose to ignore you are the crazy ones.
Well said. They should hope, for instance, that I do not catch them. Enough said about that.
US Supreme Court rules that a black student has the right to attend a private college, the KKK erects a cross and burns it in order to spread terror.
US Supreme Court rules that a cross can stay on private land, the liberals tear it down and destroy it in order to spread terror.
I see no difference at all, but I'm sure that those with left wing brains will be ready to argue that I cannot properly distinguish between these two acts and that I offer up an invalid comparison.
Liberals are the biggest scumbags on Earth.
You said it best!
I smell secular leftists.
me too. Smells like mangy rats
I wish I were crazily wrong! I'll be laughing and dancing deliriously to wake up and find out it was just a nightmare.
Thank you for your account of "incidents." When such spaced incidents become more frequent AFTER government disruption of communications and "honest news," then watch out and "cling" to your fellow patriots to save the country.
When we save the country, I'm glad I wouldn't be in charge...it may cause a lot of very necessary suffering!
“I small secular leftists. me too.”
“Smells like mangy rats”
So - - THAT’S what they smell like! I couldn’t place the familiar fragrance.
Yet another battle in the current war for our souls.
