Antiwar protesters trash 9/11 memorial!(blood pressure riser)
Wittier Dlily news ^ | 3-11-03 | OXENinFLA

LA HABRA -- Antiwar protesters burned and ripped up flags, flowers and patriotic signs at a Sept. 11 memorial that residents erected on a fence along Whittier Boulevard days after the terrorist attacks in 2001 and have maintained ever since.

However, although officers witnessed the vandalism Saturday afternoon, police did not arrest three people seen damaging the display because they were "exercising the same freedom of speech that the people who put up the flags were,' La Habra Police Capt. John Rees said Monday.

"For this to be vandalism, there had to be an ill-will intent,' he said.

"Downtown La Habra is below the Blvd and the local nickname for it is "Guada La Habra"

However they know who did this and it was one Soccer Mom and her teenagers from above the Blvd "

How far above? La Habra Heights or Whittier Heights? If so, I wouldn't want to be them. They are going to get toilet papered constantly if not damaged in other ways.
It was a stupid move. Especially for a person who is a mother and not a kid.
They had to be an idiot to do that.

Brit Hume just ran this story on "Special Report with Brit Hume," on Foxnewschannel.

Replay at 9:30PM Pacific, 12:30AM Eastern.

Hopefully O'Reilly and Hannity will also mention this story.

I'd like to see if this gets any national attention outside of talk radio and FoxNews.

And I'd like to see my cat speak Dutch. Your point is? ;-)

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but this happened in La Habra, not in Whittier (or as charmingly referred to by the OP, Wittier). Since they're two separate cities, complaining to Whittier won't do much good.

Is there any sort of chance that the cops or someone they know did this pretending to be protesters? That would explain why they weren't arrested. Maybe they're just being agent provocateurs.

Lighten up. We have enough enemies. Joe, in Columbia MO we are outnumbered EVERY week by the anti American peacenik/hippie contingent so I know I'm in a liberal armpit of Missouri. It doesn't bother me for people to say that because I know some of us still love our troops and America. You have to admit that your statewide office holders, congresscritters, and Senators are basically weird. It should not reflect on God fearing, conservative family people but is a fact of life. Beck, I know you were injecting humor but sometimes we all get "touchy". Remember, WE ARE ALL ON THE SAME TEAM. Thanks for listening.

And as the darkness of the nations and counties behind the TOFU CURTAIN falls, we, who are still free, will keep trying to broadcast that beacon of light to you, via FR.

Dutch? Wow. I just taught mine to speak french. However my cat at least buries it in the litter box after she says something in french.

See my post 214 about the "conspiracy."

Incedentally I wrote the anti war protestor that spams me with this response
-------
Who are you?

What is COINTELPRO?

Why are none of these posters in the know decrying this horrible act rather than rationalizing it with tangents about oil?

Is everything, in fact, some conspiracy?

Have you, or anyone in your family, ever been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia?

If you're asking me what a COINTELPRO is, I have no idea. However, I'm sure if I drank enough, I could puke up an answer.

How far above? La Habra Heights or Whittier Heights?

I believe this would be La Habra Heights... its just on the Orange Co/LA Co. border say 2 mile above the blvd. in the unincorporated area...nice hi end Ranch type home up there... very upper middle class

It could also have been one some of the criminal illegal aliens who have gangs there as well.

Not a chance. This was the work of white Mumia-Cong; no doubt financed by your tax dollars and Mom and Dad's hard work. Some of their nonwhite sycophants and house-slaves from the Aztlan libre mob may have participated, but this is strictly middle-class rebel-brat stuff.

No I was emailing the guy back how spammed me with what I posted in 214, I'd never gotten any spam from that address before, so it was a bit presumptuous to be writting me in the first place.

By the way Beck, I agree that CA, at least LA (which isn't representative of CA) is extrodinarily Left and any rationalization of that fact is unnecessarily defensive.

That being said, I understand that you are trying to be funny with a couple of people on here upset, but they aren't getting or aren't in the mood for the jokes so I would just cool it.

I would like to THANK ALL who have put into motion feelings and actions you have had by reading this story.Not to change subjects but these are the actions that TOM DASHEL want us to stop feeling by blocking free speech. IMO I never thought just by posting a story I would put into action those of like mindedness and can accomplish things I cannot alone by myself do.

Just one more reason FreeRepublic ROCKS!

John Kobelt and Ken Champou, hosts of "The John and Ken Show" on KFI radio AM640, Los Angeles, are discussing this
situation on the air.

They spoke to the owner of the property and the person who erected the display after 9/11. John and Ken each donated $100 and are encouraging others to donate to help erect a bigger and better memorial.

LOL, believe me, having the People's Republic of Southeast Florida (Dade, Palm Beach, and Broward counties) is no comfort to me. Not to mention we have the island of mini-San Fran to my South (Key West). So we have our freaks down here, that's for sure. The day us conservatives lose our sense of humor, it's time to shut down FR. In the mean time, God Bless you sir, and let me know if you need some red meat dropped behind that evil TOFU CURTAIN which has dropped across the border of the PRC.
