LA HABRA -- Antiwar protesters burned and ripped up flags, flowers and patriotic signs at a Sept. 11 memorial that residents erected on a fence along Whittier Boulevard days after the terrorist attacks in 2001 and have maintained ever since.
However, although officers witnessed the vandalism Saturday afternoon, police did not arrest three people seen damaging the display because they were "exercising the same freedom of speech that the people who put up the flags were,' La Habra Police Capt. John Rees said Monday.
"For this to be vandalism, there had to be an ill-will intent,' he said.

Vandalism doesn't qualify as a hate crime. I believe somebody has to be beat up or killed - or worse (being forced to listen to Daschle, Leahy, Byrd, Hitlery or Teddy.)

Also, as I go through the day, I will be bumping this to the top as I can. All of us should keep this post near the top. It expresses the true nature of these people, that they will spit on our servicemen and women when they return from Iraq. There will be no post-Vietnam situation this time. I will go to jail if I see an anti-war commie spitting on a soldier and the protester will be using his Medicare card.

I'd like to use my First Amendment rights to rip the American flag off that cop's shoulder . . .
What a waffling disgrace for a public official.

Perhaps O'Reilly will also point out the obvious double standard. Let's hope!
