Larry Northern, 59, of McLennan County, was charged Tuesday with Criminal Mischief Over $1,500 and under $20,000 after a pickup truck tore through a row of white crosses erected by anti-war protesters gathered near the President’s ranch in Crawford.
Bail was set at $3,000.
The crosses bear the names of U.S. military personnel who have died in the war in Iraq.
Witnesses said the driver swerved the truck in and out of the makeshift memorial Monday night.
The protesters who are camped out in Crawford expressed outrage at the vandalism.
Wait... is he the guy who shot the gun into the air?
LOL......to bad he got in trouble.......
How on EARTH were those cheap props worth over $1500?!
that was stupid
Religious crosses on public property? Where's the ACLU!
They scratched the bottom of his truck.
They probably added the libturd's labor into the charge. You know, getting them off of their lazy butts is a real feat!
Lib motto: "If it moves tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. If it stops moving, subsidize it."
God knows, the moonbat's brains stopped functioning decades ago.
NO!
While they side with the people killing those very service personnel, while they deride everything our people are fighting for, they have the audacity to call those crosses of the very people they are defecating on a memorial?
I agree with the person doing the driving to the extent that is is such a disgraceful display that it should come down.
And how can it be criminal mischief when these anit-Americans have simply stuck those crosses into the ground on public property without some kind of ordinance that allows or protects it?
Idiot. This helps make Sheehan look even more the poor victim and those opposing her more like monsters.
Funny this makes the news, but no mention of the father of a KIA requesting his son's name be removed from the crosses.
Maybe he represents the ACLU?
They should ask themselves why the world hates them...
Good for him.
(Reaching for my checkbook)
Different Larry?
not sure the american public is going to let the extremists run down the country again like in the 60's. Not sure it'll play out the same for the extremists. This is opening some very sensitive and deep wounds, like the 2000 election.
I seem to recall on Barbara Boxer get run out on a rail by angry voters in Tallahassee when she showed up in all her carpetbagger glory to implore people to give it more time re the BS legal ploys being used there.
Sounds like the natives are getting restless.
