see KEYT story for contact information for Paul Bramson, organizer of the display, to be honored by Ventura City Council on Flag Day, Jun 14th.
[I understand the local VFW is asking for volunteers to pull three-hour watches over the display but I cannot confirm this as it was on talk radio]

Bump.
Haters.
I think armed guards with orders to shoot to wound would be nice, but today you can’t even defend yourself.
However, this is arson, a felony. Lock and load.
WOw! This is just down the road from me. I am so angry. I have not seen reports on this either. I wonder who did this.
Don’t they have any security camera video?
obama voters no doubt.
Other than the Homeless Vet, nobody...NOBODY saw anything, yet 70 flags were stolen, and 7 were burned.
I call BS on this one, because the three individuals in their “late teens, or early twenties” were more than likely deserving of Leftist PC protection as we often find with the media either due their Leftist perspectives, or as they are so fearful of persecution by La Raza types if they don’t.
Ventura, Agriculture, and Illegals.
That’s my guess.
