Time for some punks to pay....

Time for some punks to pay....

And their parents too, if they're under 18.

[Cinnamon Girl]

Even so, this is third time in 18 months that vandals have damaged Gettysburg monuments.

Maybe they need a better security system?

[91B]

I hope they get real jail time. Gettysburg is one of my favorite places. I've visited several times and when I visit I always find something I haven't seen before

[SueRae]

When they catch the kids who did this, they should be made to care for the field using 19th century equipment as part of their restitution (among othe things I can think of)

[apackof2]

Set up a manned night time patrol and catch the scum

[advance_copy]

This makes me sick.

This is really sad. Gettysburg is one of my favorite places to visit.

[NaughtiusMaximus]

Very, very sad. :(

I suppose we are raising a generation where video game skills and political correctness classes have edged out basic history.

Well, keep an eye for that sword on eBay.

[eyespysomething]

Disgraceful dishonorable punks ping.

Nothing a baseball bat couldn't correct.

outrage

[dinoparty]

No matter, in 40 years all battlefield parks will be paved over anyway. Our citizens will all know what rock and rap bands were popular throughout history, but will have no idea that important wars were ever fought on our soil ... let alone be interested in preserving the fields.

[Potowmack]

Shameful. Truly shameful. Only barbarians descrate monuments to the dead.

[BlessedBeGod]

Scum.

[Hegemony Cricket]

Man, that is sickening. I can't help but wonder if some young barbarians have no appreciation for our history because of what poses as history education these days. Does not excuse this crap, but may explain it?

[Leg Olam]

Theres a special place for bastards that do such things. The fellows that have died in war take turns running it.

[Alouette]

Turn him over to a reenactment group for some real Civil War disciplinary punishment.

[cubreporter]

I know the battlefield is huge...we have been there. But, if there ARE volunteers couldn't there be two at every monument? This is disgraceful and the punks that did this probably have no idea how this country was formed, or built not to mention what those who gave their blood did for all of us. They are STUPID, IGNORANT, BRAINLESS WITH NO INTELLIGENCE AT ALL. They are probably drop out, hating, miserable inside people and the only way to get attention is to do something so drastic like this. I hope they get lots of attention and are put into jail where they belong. These kind of people do not belong on the same streets where the rest of us walk or on holy ground such as our battlefields where those who fought for the rest of us now rest. I hope they find them and punish them accordingly.
