Prosecute the vandal, and sentence him to 100s of hours of community service, polishing historic structures, statues, etc.
This sort of attack on the American heritage is indefensible, coming from anyone living in one of our States, and expecting respect he is not willing to accord to the rest of us! (My opinion would be no different, were the vandal's target Massachusetts Senator Daniel Webster.)
