More than 200 headstones were spray-painted with Nazi swastikas overnight on Friday at a cemetery in Illinois, KMOV reports.

The vandalism occurred heading into Memorial Day weekend at a Glen Carbon, Ill., cemetery which houses the graves of more than 1,300 veterans, officials said.

“We haven't seen anything of this magnitude in the 30 years that I've been here,” said Mark Johnson, the grounds superintendent of Sunset Hill Cemetery.

Police are investigating the vandalism, but have not identified a suspect or motive.

I just read some of the comments posted at the story. They are atrocious. Most of them are blaming Trump supporters.

How ridiculous.

How I despise and HATE the other half of this country I can barley put into words.

There are way too many anti-American SOBs living in and scrounging off of this great country. Way too many. The time is coming when we’re going to be forced to cull the herd. America can’t go on like this.

OH, GEE! What a Coinkidink!

Southern Illinois University, at Edwardsville is about 4 miles from that particular cemetery!

Explain, again, why ALL Commie/democrats and Liberal Arts professors shouldn’t be beaten half to death, just on spec, as a Memorial Day tradition...

Sickos. Someone also destroyed several granite war memorials in Brownwood, TX.

I read them. They know who did it.

Agent provocateurs.

They think they can link it to Trump supporters. Only other liberals pretend to believe the lie.

They'll use it in their fund raising letters.

You can take your pick of any of a dozen or more leftist loons, attempting to stir a “controversy”.

Good God. Who else would it be but the Left in general, and Antifa douchebags in particular?

The left has all the reason in the world to do stuff like this because it is who they are, and because they have done stuff like this before.

That is actually funny in a weird way. The fact anyone who even posts that blame Trump supporters only increases exponentially the likelihood that it is the Left.

It is funny that they don’t even seem to recognize their own mental illness.
