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."

The park service isn’t going to pay to rebuild it, you can bet on that.
November can't get here soon enough.
Christians are the new Jews, and we have actual Fascists running the country, who think the Constitution of The United States is a “Fundamentally flawed and defective document”..
History is repeating.
IS ANYONE PAYING ATTENTION???
strange timing
didn’t Kagan argue the governments side in that court case?
we have a small group of people in this country dictating how life should be to the majority and it needs to stop
while the far left have always been intolerant and bigoted it has got worse since hey got their far left loon man in the white house supported by the chicago thug machine
this crap has to stop and the media needs to be called out in and protested now as they are aiding and abetting the far left fringe lunatics
What? No national news story??
Or the ROP?
thenn lets get talk radio, bets groups etc to donate infact the vets groups need to demand bozo replace it seeing as he can spend billions on crap and far left loon groups
Find them. Nail them to it. Use them as a warning to others. This IS desecration, no other way to put it.
Any Limbaugh listeners??
Someone could call and try to get his call screener to get Rush to bring this up??
AP says 7 feet
CNN says 6 feet
NPR says 8 feet
There is mention of the cross being made from metal.
This story makes me so mad...and sad.....I will bet that national news will NOT cover this story!!!
Great idea of getting Vets groups to spearhead getting the cross replaced.
Build it 100 times larger.
FU lefties...
Well, that outta do the job!
When they don't they simply ignore them.
BTW, this was definitely a SSS moment.
Wouldn't surprise me if that order was given and it also wouldn't surprise me if the order was ignored by all parties. SF goes places where GOD is their only companion and their only hope. They wouldn't take something like that in a casual manner.
I also have to chuckle at the idiots who did this awful thing. Because one day, they're all going to be standing in front of the God of the Universe and HE is going to be asking some very pointed questions. Answers are going to bring some eternal consequences.
That’s a good point. :(
