Lincoln Memorial Vandalized With Red Spray Paint
NBC Washington ^ | August 15, 2017

Posted on 08/15/2017 11:25:57 AM PDT by rightwingintelligentsia

Someone has vandalized the Lincoln Memorial, the National Park Service says.

The words "F--- law" were found written in red spray paint early Tuesday on a pillar at the monument that overlooks the Capitol building and National Mall, NPS said Tuesday afternoon. The graffiti was found about 4:30 a.m.

Work to remove the words is underway. A preservation crew is using a "mild, gel-type architectural paint stripper" to remove the paint without damaging the stone. The crew is applying a layer of the gel, rinsing it, checking how effective it was and repeating as necessary.

Additional vandalism, in silver spray paint, was found on a sign on the 1400 block of Constitution Avenue. Any words were indecipherable.

I am so sick and tired of these people. Surely they have cameras around there.

Why are we putting up with this crap?

Time to start posting snipers. They have declared war on America, and are not acting on it.

Lincoln enjoyed white privilege.He's also a statue in need of a crisis.

So-called “vandalism”

Spray painted by idiots who don’t realize that the only thing protecting them IS the law.

I guess we need to remove the Lincoln Memorial because Lincoln had something to do with the Civil War and he offends liberals and snowflakes.

The manufactured, ginned-up political media campaigns to push the general “racist” and specifically anti-Trump agenda will have some side-effects.

"Surely they have cameras around there."

They do, and are turned off remotely when ordered. I bet the data management teams inside the DC police force are busier trying to not record things than actually recording crime. Just like their DMV spends more time and resources not giving tickets for violations of the swamp things than actually enforcing the laws to everyone.

We gave in to them by removing the confederate flag, manger scenes at Christmas, prayers, and so on. Give an inch and they want a mile.

I would blame Obama. He opened the floodgates. Media covered for him.

I’m ready to be part of a volunteer monument watch. Only if fully armed and indemnified to prevent prosecution of vandal scum.

Can’t be those loving Democrats. Not to mention, according to a article posted on FR earlier this week, Lincoln was not a Republican...?

So one guy was late for the bus to Charlottesville? At least he performed a service for his $200 related to his primary assignment! A real go-getter. Why punish good employees?

Direct deposit to a check card right out of the Val-Jarbamma basement payroll.

He didn’t work fast enough free the slaves that he didn’t own in states that he technically didn’t lead (CSA). And his in-law’s owned slaves and his brother-in-law fought for the Confederacy.
