People driving by the Army Recruiting Station on Milwaukee's east side are finding it boarded up with a vandal's message on the 5th anniversary of the Iraq War.

Vandals put graffiti saying "War Is Offensive" and broke windows at the facility on the 3100 block of North Oakland Avenue, near the UWM campus.

Officials there later boarded up the windows. A man who works in the area said he saw anti-war slogans written on the windows also.

This is not the first time the place has been vandalized.

Last year, on the same Iraq war anniversary, police arrested 21 people for an attack with smoke bombs while throwing paint at the facility.

I was working on posting this thread when I got a call from Kristinn (at a recruiting center in DC) telling me that they were under attack there.

The homegrown terrorists in Milwaukee had free reign to trash a recruiting center...

and the homegrown terrorists in DC are doing the same thing right now.

OK, so the police will not enforce the protection of recruiting stations in SF, DC and now Milwaukee? This isn’t good. I see problems brewing.

Urban police chiefs tend to be DemocRAT party political hacks.

Some message the leftists and radicals send to or sworn enemies..

If this continues which it likely will, this country is going to have to decide at what point enough is enough.

I know to many , that point is long since distant in the rear view mirror. If our law enforcement and elected officials fail to act, then they invite more of what the leftists have already offered up, chaos.

How much longer do you think people in general will believe the left is nonviolent and tolerant of diverse ideas??

I wonder if the NYT will see the same imminent fall of the Republic in this left-wing lawlessness as they do when an abortion clinic gets picketed?

As to the ‘War is offensive’ graffiti, I hope that someone pointed out to the protesters that it’s better to be on the offense than the defense. Whiny adolescents.
