Vandals deface Vietnam war memorial
wtnh ^ | Dec. 30, 2007 | Carolee Salerno

Posted on 12/31/2007 6:22:54 PM PST by Flavius

New Haven (WTNH) _ Veterans are outraged that a war memorial in New Haven has been vandalized.

The Vietnam War Memorial at Long Wharf was spray painted with the threatening words "Kill whites MS 13."

Seeing this just crushed the veterans we spoke to. The names on that wall that are covered in paint, are the names of those who fought and died for this country in the Vietnam War. Tonight, police are investigating whether this is the work of a violent street gang, but the veterans we spoke to, say whoever they are, aren't as tough as they might think

Carolee seems to have, more commas than she knows what, to do, with. (Hey, I had to get rid of a few myself. Those are ‘07 commas!)

Don’t think illegal immigration is a problem up in CT? Guess what - the illegals brought their gangs along with them. MS-13 is Mara Salvatrucha.

If MS 13 wants to declare war on whites, bring it on. These punks would be wiped out in minutes.

Kill whites? Is this a hate crime? Let’s not forget that New Haven offers sanctuary to illegals...

Hmm. Well, New Haven has long had a problem with black gangsters, going back to the Huey Newton days. So now we have Mara Salvatrucha as well. Things must be getting pretty ugly.

I had a friend on the Yale faculty who came down to NYC for his weekends, and said that it was a great relief to be able to walk around the Village without worrying about being mugged, something he could not do in New Haven.

It looks like MS-13 must be spreading all over the country. That’s all we need.

Kill is a bit over the top, I hope they catch the culprits and make them clean the monuments up, and have to ta take a toothbrush to the streets of New Haven to clean the gutters.

I’m having my doubts about who did this. I can’t see a group as well organized as MS13, wasting their time in such juvenile pursuits. Mayhap some local idiots are the true culprits?

I’m having my doubts about who did this.

Yeah, I agree. MS 13 tags seem to (typically) be more elaborate, and from experience, Central Americans are incredibly reluctant to describe or think of themselves as "non-white."

Night vision-check

Ruger 10-22 with bull barrel and 4X scope-check

Remington 22 subsonic ammo-check

just going through my varmint equipment....

Now about the defaced memorial.

doesn't sound like a hard problem to solve and clean up the memorial really.

Of course weeding the area around and getting rid of pests should be a priority.

I bet some of them have markings on the outside that should be easy to see....kinda like these

So now ya'll go out and have a nice day. Remember, if it's got a "13". It really should be a 1:3, ya'll should help these fellers out.

Happy New Year.

Nope. Only White, straight, Christian, CXonservative, Republican, or legimate gun owner males can committ hate crimes. If one does not it one of the categories listed, one cannot committ a hate crime. Or, for that matter, in the eyes of the liberals, no crimes at all.

Ah, I didn’t see the previous thread.

One thing about it, oddly enough is that, well...MS 13 is usually a bit more artistic. This looks like the first time the perpetrator ever spraypainted anything in his life.

NO. Torture extensively, then SLOWLY kill might be a tad over the top.

couldn’t agree with you more. our court system, the aclu, the disease of liberalism, gutless politicians (and well, I could go on but you get my drift I’m sure), have made the vigilante senario just about the only way I believe that our nation will be able to start some internal healing.

Remember that Latin American politician who said they were going to send up hispanics with the idea that each of them should kill ten white people?

They weren’t kidding. Of Course, this statement is likely to draw the FROBL’s down on me.

If it is MS13 or any other gang then kill is not too strong. Gangs are domestic terrorists and MS13 would kill you on a whim. Join a gang and you should lose any rights you might have. Shoot known gang members on sight, no warning given.

I hope they KILL the culprits.

Only if they "resist" the citizens arrest of the posse from the local Legion, VFW and AMVets halls. I suspect the vets would have something at least as modern as the M-16s they used in Vietnam, although only a few will have the full auto versions. Still an M-14S/M1A1, or even an old Springfield, Mauser or Moison-Nagant will do the job of reaching out and touching those "resisters". (Call 'em up, tell them are under arrest, then we they "resist" pop 'em from 100 yards or more.)

Bastids.
