The man arrested for allegedly using a sledgehammer to behead a Marine figure on an Iwo Jima monument near Quantico, Virginia, is a Mexican illegal alien and former Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipient who lost his status this year, federal sources told Fox News.

Miguel Alonso Maldonado Soriano, 27, was charged with felony destruction of property, trespass with intent to damage property and felony injury to a monument.

He almost got his wish.
He’ll get to stay in America
For 5-10 years.
Before he’s deported.

Attacking an Iwo Jima monument. What a brilliant idea to gain widespread sympathy. Pure genius at work here.

Chain him to the monument’s base in the dead of winter for a full week, barefoot wearing underclothes, with a sign inviting the public to throw rotted veggies at him (provided by the local farmer’s market). Set up one of those cams like they do for eagles’ nests so the whole wold can witness justice done.

He hates the country he invaded. Just like France.

His attack on the Iwo Jima memorial is not merely symbolic. He hates what the men fought for.

After that, a free trip to the local prison for 10 years, then deportation.

The Iwo Jima statue outside the main gate to MCB Quantico served as a larger scale model for Felix de Weldon’s U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial in Arlington, Virginia. At some point in creation of the full-size sculpture, the model was found near “moldering” in a warehouse, perhaps at the Navy Yard, in SE Washington, DC.
In some quandary as to “what” to do, Marine Corps officials took action to preserve the model. Commissioned in 1950, Lt. John Warner, future governor, senator and SECNAV was detailed to head up the initial task of preservation.

In the mid-1950’s, Alexandria, Virginia had a farmer’s market outside the city hall on Saturday morning. It was a smaller version of farmer’s markets in any major city. Amid temporary stalls and other necessities, farmers from then faraway western Fairfax and Prince William Counties came to sell fresh produce and recently butchered meats. It was Les Halles on the Potomac, fire barrels and all.

As a child during that time, wonders of the Farmer’s Market aside, a highlight of those outings was an occasional side trip down 2-lane US Rt. 1 – “Number 1” to Quantico. There I got to see up close the Iwo Jima statue.

“Attacking an Iwo Jima monument. What a brilliant idea to gain widespread sympathy. Pure genius at work here.”

The guy is a hero to ever democrat and leftist in the country now. He did what they wish they could have done. He is everything the democrats love. DACA, an illegal alien, who hates America, AND smashing one of the most iconic memorial statues to American grit and greatness. They will make a statue of this guy next and keep it secured 24/7.

Disgusting. Take the same “hammer” and take his illegal alien head off in the same manner. These criminal parasites have no respect for anything.

Semper Fi!
