WA: Port Angeles Mayor receives Pushback over Attempt to alter War Memorial Image: Image provided by listeners of the Dori Morrison Show
The replica Liberty Bell in the Veterans Memorial Park in Port Angeles, Washington, was installed as a private initiative in the bicentennial year of 1976.
For several years, the replica and the park have been subject to vandalism.
PORT ANGELES, Wash. — At Veterans Memorial Park in Port Angeles, a replica of the Liberty Bell is defaced with graffiti. The park is teeming with garbage. Nearby residents say they no longer feel safe.
“This can be a horrific mess of trash and human waste,” said Karen Rogers. “We have needles, illicit sex acts. This is a school bus route, for crying out loud!”
Residents were appalled. They wanted a fence. They lobbied for a fence. They agreed to pay for it from their own funds. They raised the money. A design was sought, selected, and approved of by the City. From mynorthwest.com:
To decorate the iron fence, Stokes and Lucier created 13 stars to represent the original 13 Colonies, along with silhouettes of two Revolutionary War soldiers holding muskets.
“If you go to the original Liberty Bell back in [Philadelphia], there’s a 24-hour armed guard standing guard over it, just like the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier,” he explained to KIRO Radio’s Dori Monson.
The city approved the design and the fence went up earlier this autumn.
Now, however, Port Angeles Mayor Sissi Bruch wants the city to remove the silhouettes from the fence because they depict guns.

If they need an armed guard I volunteer to do it for nothing just a blanket immunity grant for what will happen. I don’t need any assigned weapon or ammo either.
Why do American keep electing stupid into office?
Most do not vote in local, off year elections.
Many vote by Party, for Democrats, based on emotion.
The excuse given by many for the insanity is not to "offend" someone. It gives politicians total control over everything, as anyone can say they are offended by anything at any time.
Who is legitimately "offended" is selected by the Media, who are overwhelmingly Democrat and against traditional America.
If you are a white, male, straight, Christian, you are not allowed to be offended by anything.
“This can be a horrific mess of trash and human waste,”
“We have needles, illicit sex acts.”
“This is a Democrat Party utopia!”
This says it all:
Mayor “sissi” Burch. Just a misspell, it should be sissy.
Why did they make one figure look like a child?
Because the the Stupid Half needs representation, too. That's why there is a Democrat's Party. Calling it the Stupid's Party would be too honest, however.
80% of our electorate are economic illiterates.
Decades ago critical thinking was replaced by Critical Theory. (by design)
To salvage our culture we need to train our kids relentlessly in the art of critical thinking ... from the day they are born.
That is step one ... and everyone can do it.
Mayor Sissi—what an appropriate name.
Standing at the Back Dressed Stupidly and Looking Stupid Party
Yeah, but what does all of that have to do with a war memorial.?
It's all caused by your liberal government.. If you lay with dogs your going to get fleas... :(
Democrats are evil scum.
You have that wrong. Here’s the real deal:
We have two parties here, and only two. One is the evil party, and the other is the stupid party. ... I’m very proud to be a member of the stupid party. ... Occasionally, the two parties get together to do something that’s both evil and stupid. That’s called bipartisanship.
