Eternal Peace Light Memorial at Gettysburg Vandalized

Good day, all.

I was just watching my local news station, ABC-27. They said that early this week it was found that the Eternal Peace Light Memorial has been vandalized. Vulgar words and phrases were spray-painted all over the base and the light-tower. The most obscence sections were covered with ply-wood because their cleaning agents would not work properly in the cold weather. A park ranger they interviewed said, "This is moronic. The people who did this are morons and they will never get anywhere with their lives and will never create anything, so instead, they destroy."

I cannot stand some people these days.

I read about this today here is the link http://www.gettysburgdaily.com/?p=1697 I just do not understand the minds of some people. If caught they should be made example of.

It always amazes me how some morons tend to think that places like parks, and public recreational areas, or memorials are "playgrounds for their destruction". When I lived in the city of El Paso, the city spend hundreds of thousands of dollars each year replacing park equipment that was vandalized. You know, group of people bored at night, go to a park and destroy and tag stuff, becuase "it's something to do"...
The city then said "Screw it", and just took the vandalized stuff away and didn't replace it. Then the people started screaming that there wasn't "anything in the paaaaaaaarrrrkkkkkkssss...Waaaaaah!"

I'm hoping that they catch these idiots, but even if they did, 5 bucks said that they won't get what they deserve.

How about turning them over to US for a little "Community Service" and history training?

Better yet, let us hanging them by their own thumbs.

Or tie them to the spare wheel on the back of the caisson during a long march!

Or test the effect of different charges used in black powder enemas.
