Desecration of a WW2 Memorial

"I witnessed something today that outraged me! I was driving down Broadway in Somerville. I stopped behind a bus waiting to pull into Clarendon Station. I looked over to my right and saw young people (early to mid 20's) go into the Somerville Veterans Memorial Cemetery. As they approached the statue, I saw them grab the 3 or 4 mini flags that were placed in from of the statue. The guy took the flags and tossed them behind the statue.

What I saw him do next pushed me to a point where I said to myself "ENOUGH". The guy started urinating on the flags. I quickly pulled over, got out of my car and headed over to them.

The girl was standing by the gate (she must have been the look out). I started yelling at them to stop, asking him as I approached 'what the hell he was doing'. He stopped urinating, pulled up his pants and started walking out of the memorial. Both of them walked up Broadway laughing. I walked behind them for awhile telling everyone I pass what they did.

I went back to the memorial to see what damage was done (see photo). An older gentleman came over and thanked me for taking a stand. He told me he has 2 friends buried there.

Still outraged, I felt I needed to do more. So I got back in my car and drove up Broadway (toward Tele Sq) to see if I could find them. I wanted photos of them. I saw them walking up Broadway. I pull over across the street and waited for them to catch up. They were across the street and I snapped a few photos from my car (see attached photos).

What possible reason could they have for desecrating a WW2 Memorial?? There are consequences for our actions. They probably thought no would do anything. They were WRONG!

UPDATE... After reviewing over 800 comments I understand everyone's outrage but do not condone taking action into your own hands. I fully intend to file a report with the police and share all information that I have. Taking action into your own hands will only distract from what they did. Don't give them anything to use in their favor. Thank you.

UPDATE...I met with a detective from Somerville PD this morning. I gave them my statement and all photos. They are all over this.

I don’t trust filing this the Sommerville police, too many comfortable Dems would just treat it as a nusiance claim. If it is a national cemetary, take it up higher.

The tats will help in the identification of the perp. Good job. They need to be strung up.

These idiots have been marinated in hating America in the public schools. No surprise this is the result.

Back in the day, anyone would have been beaten to within an inch of their life for desecrating a grave. Now, without consequences, these idiots do what they want with impunity.

I don’t do social media — can you (or someone) post this on FB, twitter, instagram or what have you?

(I head this today — NOT A JOKE: someone was talking to their mid-teens kid and asked if he/she uses fb. The kid said “yes — to talk to my grandma.” LOL)

Let this go viral and dox the heck out of em!!!

The kid looks typical for that generation. Tats to show how cool you are and pissing on veterans graves to be “Bad”. I’ll bet the kid never got his ass beat by a dad. not hate/abuse but the kind a dad hands out to a teen because he loves him and doesn’t want his kid growing up an asshole.

Once they’re doxxed, someone needs to catch him in a dark alley somewhere and go full “Negan” on his azz. He looks like just another MK ULTRA DS zombie anyway.

Sir, you are a much better man than I, in regards to how you handled the situation. Thanks for stepping up and doing something. Those two in your photos are a perfect example of our failed education system and family unit.
