Flags Replaced With Swastikas in Wash.
May 29 01:54 AM US/Eastern
ORCAS ISLAND, Wash. (AP) - Vandals burned dozens of small American flags that decorated veterans' graves for Memorial Day and replaced many of them with hand-drawn swastikas, authorities said Monday. Forty-six flag standards were found empty and another 33 flags were in charred tatters Sunday in the cemetery, authorities said. Swastikas drawn on paper appeared where 14 of the flags had been.
Members of the American Legion on this island off Washington's northwest coast replaced the burned flags with new ones Sunday afternoon.
The vandals struck again on Memorial Day after a guard left at dawn, the San Juan County sheriff's office said. This time, the vandals left 33 of the hand-drawn swastikas.
"This is not an act of free speech. This is a crime," Sheriff Bill Cumming said in a statement released Monday afternoon.
Investigators believe there's more than one culprit, based on the number of flags that were vandalized, Cumming said in a telephone interview. But authorities have no suspects, he said.
The sheriff said deputies were trying to lift fingerprints off what little physical evidence they were able to recover.

You know they’re nothing but a bunch of anti-war jihadist leftist punks. Of course, then it will become a non-news story. They only report on when Southern rednecks do something bad, which accounts for fraction of a fraction of a percent of these types of crimes.
The American Left: “Feel the love”
Stupid Seattle hippie types.

I wish some Southern Rednecks would catch these leftist freaks in the act. Now that would be a pretty sight.
Morons ... they deface the memory of those who died so they’d have the freedom to be morons.
Did`nt Edwards urge people to use Memorial Day to protest the Iraq War? Looks like some listened to him. On the outside chance these morons are caught, I bet the ACLU jumps to their defense.
A hideous act of desecration obviously perpetrated by the "can't we all just forget it and move on?" crowd.
It would be a surprise if there were any serious investigation...after all, that wuld be divisive and interfering with their right to freedom of vandalizing graves...err...I mean freedom of "speech". The fact that no words were used and the perpetrators snuck in and did it under the cover of night will be conveniently ignored.
Like your State of Oregon most of the rabid liberals IN Washington are concentrated in a couple of the counties and cities. Take away Seattle and Olympia and Washington is very much a Red State. Island County where this happened, though sparsely populated, is heavily Liberal. Lots of hippies moved to the islands, and where you have hippies you have a certain number of anti-war fanatics, anarchist, eco-terrorist.
Yeah Edwards did. Matter of fact I don’t doubt that this attack and a similar one that sent hate mail to a Gold Star mom came from some of his supporters.
