"But to just burn them – I don't understand that at all."

It’s critical to stay vigilant and know the enemy. This is what happens when good citizens don’t understand. Haven’t you paid attention for the last eight years? Get informed.

When I was a kid, you could easily get a pantload of rock salt messing around with someone's property like that. As a matter of fact, I gave ...........oh, forget it.

Wow. What a great pic. As my sister told me when she saw the first school pic of my youngest son, “There’s devil in them eyes.”

But think about this. The cowards most certainly did this when they saw him drive away. Candyasses like this would NEVER do such a thing if they thought they would be confronted by someone who makes a habit of standing up for something greater than he is.
My guess is 5 neighborhood puke kids would shake in their boots if they did this and were confronted by one determined leatherneck.

Put the flags back up, and have a few ex-Marines with legal weapons hide in the house.

Then kill the bastard when he tries to burn them again.

The crime is arson, a felony, and it poses a clear and present danger to the house and those in it. You can shoot in those circumstances. I would.

My flags fly 24/7-locked and loaded.

Today, I would say that it is his aging hippie, Prius-driving angry grey-headed Obama-obsessed union-thug neighbors.

Or the juvenile-delinquent offspring of said hippie/thug. Remember the story from the campaign about the guy who was putting his kid up to stealing or damaging McCain-Palin yard signs?

I was thinking maybe some kids shooting bottle rockets could have accidentally set them on fire, but since the same thing happened to someone else, that’s probably not the case.

If deliberate, I’m sure this could be prosecuted as arson, and not just vandalism. Maybe even a hate crime?

Does anyone remember that punk ass kid who was defacing things with paint in a foreign country?? They knew exactly how to remedy his sh*ty attitude. Whipped his ass with a cane. You can bet his father has that cane mounted somewhere in the house that is easily accessible for when the little idiot acts up.

Ed Jordan is now on a watch list. He’s on a watch list because everyone and their mother knows *someone* just pissed off a Marine (Including the Gov’t that once trained him). Ed Jordan, good hunting and be careful; may your bag be bountiful.

“This picture is only a prophetic representation of the perps house.”

No, no, no. Houses, cars, things like that are covered by insurance. And the perp might like the raplacement better.

Let them try that at my house, or my next door neighbors (both Marines), and they’ll get “burned” all right. :(
