Team George Soros is at it again.

I hope there's room left in HELL for the scumbags who deface our veterans' graves.

As a daughter of parents both WWII Veterans I am sickened by these actions. The state of Illinois, Land of Lincoln, is becoming the armpit of the nation. A criminal record, hefty fine, a public apology and community service for at least 25 years warranted. . .no matter the age of the perpetrator(s).

some people are SOOOOOOOOOOO sick, it defies description

sickos!

(and what’s the point of defacing headstones, of all the completely useless things to do with life... to waste it defacing headstones!? a crying shame, these sickos need to get professional help to... yes, get a life! there’s still a great deal of goodness and joy to be found, or created.. in their lives... if they will only seek it)

“Staff at the Sunset Hills Cemetery in Glen Carbon are working to clean up the vandalism before the event.”

Clean it up, but wait until after the ceremony.

Let the gathering see EXACTLY what we’re up against. People need to be very pissed about this.

The Blue Wave is turning into a Falling Tide, the Democrats have to do something to get the blood going in their base. The people who did this are their base and they are the future of the Democrat Party.

of course they can’t

it is so sad to see them doing this kind of krap tho

i mean, they could be in school, on a job, setting up some kind of business of their own, or just having a picnic or going to the forest or beach or drama or music or whatever.

OH, GEE! What a Coinkidink!

Southern Illinois University, at Edwardsville is about 4 miles from that particular cemetery!

Explain, again, why ALL Commie/democrats and Liberal Arts professors shouldn't be beaten half to death, just on spec, as a Memorial Day tradition...

indeed,they could be doing all the useful or enjoyable things in life.. that our good veterans sacrificed and/or, yes, died ...to enable them to do!

they’ve been handed a wonderful gift. (one that didn’t come cheap to the donors).. and they’re pissing it away
