I'm looking for the link now, but when I saw this a few minutes ago on the news I saw RED .

British Memorial. Link: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/2907701.stm

And the morons couldn't even draw the swastika correctly...tells quite a lot of the intelligence..or lack of it.

I think that people that do these sort of things aren't really that concerned with the war so much as just looking for an excuse to be destructive.

The same thing happened in LA when those cops were acquitted for the Rodney King beating. Do you really think those people storming through the streets, breaking into businesses to steal TVs, were doing it in protest? The same for the guys that bashed the skull of the unlucky truckdriver they came across while they were rampaging. These people are just idiots looking for a "cover" for their destructive urges.

Hopefully, the "painters" will be caught and subjected to some sort of humiliation like some judges are doing in the States. I read one shoplifter had to wear a sandwich board in front of the store he stole from saying he was a shoplifter. Great punishment, IMHO.

Valid point, rbrunsman. It's the same kind of people that we saw in LA, Seattle, here in Gothenburg, in Italy...etc.

They're not helping anyone.

I only heard 'French protesters deface memorial to 11,000 Allied troops who died' and when I looked up I saw a red swastika...then all I heard was the throbbing in my ears.

I'll make sure I 'count to ten' before posting next time.

Now that I've read the story I see that it was a cemetery. Despicable. Here's a post from the 'comments' forum attached to this story: http://news.messages.yahoo.com/bbs?acti ... 459&mid=62

Its a little harsh, but IMO correctly points out the prevailing atmosphere that could generate this type of act.

I like Singapore.

Sorry; that story just really twisted my gut. Here's a positive thought on it:

I saw the thread, I am incapable of saying anything coherent.

I'm with Sarge on this one, what I 'm thinking wouldn't even be justified in the AOW forum. Nuff said.

Hawk,
I understand what you're saying...had the same thoughts myself...then I realized those soldiers had earned that spot, and no power on this planet can ever take their right to it away.

I say we place armed honour guards around these sites!!!!!!!

Now there's a good idea! Kinda like the guards at Buckingham palace, 'cept they won't stand there like statues when taunted.

I agree....they did earn that spot and i also agree with pops.... Maybe we should put an Honor Guard there....with a Shoot on Site mentality..... Or shoot first ask questions later......

Just like the embassy Marines in the Simpsons.

*WHAP!!*

"We don't take that kidna' crap in America, sir." XD

To protest is one thing. To deface the memory of the brave soldiers who gave their youth, their health, and many their lives to keep the World from desending into another dark age is quite another. This makes me want to puke my guts out!:mad:

I think the Royal Navy during the days of the Wooden Walls had the right idea; keel hauling!
