How brave. They really are changing the world aren’t they.
Wow, just wow.
Bam! Knew it was going to happen when I read he’d died.
Hateful people, who dont have jobs and sleep all day, are free to vandalize patriotic statues at night.
How did they disappear into the night that quickly? It’s on RT. 41 in a high traffic area very open with plenty of lights for the many cards that pass by every minute to recognize and report the vandal? Also the police station is less than 3 blocks away.
Update:
There are no available surveillance cameras in the area that could have captured the incident and no known witnesses, according to police.
The approximate damage is estimated to be more than $1,000 due to the large area that the graffiti covers. Police notified the City of Sarasota Public Works.
The graffiti was removed just after 10:30 a.m. Tuesday.
Over on DU this is considered sexual assault.
Singapore would cane them.
“The Me Too movement (or #MeToo movement), with a large variety of local and international alternative names, is a movement against sexual harassment and sexual assault. [1][2][3]
The movement began to spread virally in October 2017 as a hashtag on social media in an attempt to demonstrate the widespread prevalence of sexual assault and harassment, especially in the workplace.[4][5][6]
It followed sexual-abuse allegations against Harvey Weinstein.[7][8]...”

Since Aug. 14, 1945, the identities of the smooching sailor and the nurse in Alfred Eisenstaedts Times Square V-J Day photograph have never been determined until the publication, last week, of the book The Kissing Sailor: The Mystery Behind the Photo that Ended World War II.
Theres another person in the frame, one nobody even knew to look for, who makes the image that much more poignant: Rita Petry, the future wife of that sailor, George Mendonsa.
I really liked him, but I didnt know I was the future wife, Rita tells The Post. I guess I thought he looked nice or something.
To this day, Rita insists that the kiss never bothered her and that the photo, while nice, hasnt changed her life one bit. But much like the photograph itself, nothing is as it seems. In all these years, Rita says, George has never kissed me like that.
In August 1945, George Mendonsa was 22 years old, a Navy quartermaster on leave from the Pacific theater. Hed dropped out of school at 16 and worked with his dad, a commercial fisherman, in Rhode Island, enlisting in the Navy after the attack on Pearl Harbor: Every kid my age wanted to get even with the Japanese.
George didnt like to talk about what he had seen, or his anxiety about what was coming, which everyone knew was the invasion of Japan. I had just come back from the Philippines, George says. My ship had seen a lot of action. We were sent back to the States until the Army could get strong enough [to attack].
So instead, he focused on his date with the pretty girl hed met a few weeks before at a barbecue at his familys house in Rhode Island; she was related to his new brother-in-law. Her name was Rita. She was just 20 years old and lived with her parents in Queens.
She was beautiful, George says. I think I fell in love with her the first time I saw her. ...

Ah yes, the courageous Vagina Heads storming a statue. I am so very happy these beta Its werent tasked with storming the beaches of Iwo Jima and Juno. We would have lost.
There’s a statue of that kiss in the McKee Botanical Gardens in Vero Beach, Florida. The statue stands about 25 feet high and weighs tons. We were just there a couple of days ago.
Really? When the #MeToo activists get as bold as the anti-Confederacy activists, that statue will be coming down.
What horrible existence it must be for a Leftist.
The iconic image of the couple reminds us of duty, service and sacrifice. A joyful and victorious end to a long war. We fought evil, defeating tyranny from Germany and Japan. The image demonstrates the transition of our sons and daughters to civilian life, and optimism of what this great country could achieve. Pride in our mission, how America pulled together, our values, and celebrating who we are as a Nation...
But somehow the twisted mind of a Leftist sees something worthy of vandalism and disgust.
The left is now going after dead people. Who’s next?
It was soy-based paint...
Caution: Democrats at work.
There’s the same statue in San Diego, wonder if it’s guarded now?
