WASHINGTON — The National World War II Memorial was among the landmarks in the nation's capital that were vandalized amid weekend protests.

OMG. I was just watching LA news coverage of looting in Santa Monica. The @sshole local newscasters just could not stop talking BS about how the looters were “disgracing George Floyd” and “such contrast to the wonderful, peaceful protestors just a few blocks away.” Made me want to puke

Evil cannot create, it can only deface, invert, or destroy. This has been the truth from the moment the rebel was defeated.

What are the people in charge waiting for? Are they waiting for the thugs to just get tired, run out of gasoline, or realize they’re missing America’s Got Talent??

“how the looters were ‘disgracing George Floyd’”

I’d bet that 75% of the rioters never heard the name, “George Floyd”.

I was unaware that there were no black service members in WWII...the graffiti seems to suggest this.
Idiots.

I’ve been thinking the same thing. This is a MASSIVE failure of Government at every level - including President Trump. This should have been shut down tight as a drum DAYS ago. Instead, it looks like it’s going to be allowed to go on until there’s no free stuff left to steal in America, and then they’ll look for some other way to placate the animals.

Sure they have. They just think that “George” is Pink’s real name.

I just hope that Melania, her parents, and Barron are safely hidden away in Slovenia or similar.

The ONLY black lives that matter are the ones snuffed out by cops.

The slaughter of black men in the 'black community' BY BLACK MEN is ignored.
