Several monuments on the Gettysburg Battlefield were recently defaced with oil, resulting in costly damage, according to park officials.
In a release issued Friday, Jan. 9, 2025, the National Park Service at the Gettysburg National Military Park shared that several monuments on the Gettysburg battlefield had been "defaced with oil-based substances."
"While possibly intended as symbolic or ritualistic, the damage is real and lasting," the release stated, adding that "porous stone absorbs oil deeply, making stains nearly impossible to remove."

I hate this kind of thing.
We will probably find out that it was a leftist retard that did the damage. It will reveal how twisted the Left has become.
If caught they should have to drink it.
Hey America! Do you give a shit?
Gee, Wally, I wonder whoever would do such a thing?
Most likely.
So do I.
Agreed.
Appalling. I only wish the punishment would be equivalent to the damage done.
Indeed.
I’m with you on this one.
Braindead lefties, that’s who.
Yeah, I guess you’re right, Wally. You know what Wally? You sure are smart.
Thanks for the article; good pics and info.
I get filmed 780 times if I go to Walmart or drive across town.
A national treasure has no cameras? Typical....
IF someone caught them in the act and shot their moronic arses stone cold dead. Then, just left em there for the birds and animal vermin to eat, I wonder what the headline would be...spit.
This is why the left turned the police departments into a bunch of donut munching girly men with man buns and Wakanda Royalty Hair Dos who sit in their cop cars all day doing nothing. The Voter elected big cry babies like Police Chef Rainy Day of Portland.
America does not give a shit
#1 America has completely unequal enforcement of laws. If it were you or me, we would wind up in jail. If it's a homeless person, or professional agitator with no assets or address, they would be let out, with almost zero consequences.
#2 As a nation, we have taken personal freedom, put it on steroids, turned it into license, perversion, and political activism for leftist/woke purposes. See #1
#3. We maintain this irresponsibility through the welfare state, and the creation of massive, ever-growing debt to fund it.
Shoot, shovel, shut-up.
We don’t have anything in the law to combat this.
