Just when you thought your dislike for the “anti-war” movement couldn’t possibly be any greater, a group of “protesters” in Whittier California burned and slashed US flags at a September 11 memorial—as the local police just stood and watched.


LA HABRA -- Antiwar protesters burned and ripped up flags, flowers and patriotic signs at a Sept. 11 memorial that residents erected on a fence along Whittier Boulevard days after the terrorist attacks in 2001 and have maintained ever since.

However, although officers witnessed the vandalism Saturday afternoon, police did not arrest three people seen damaging the display because they were "exercising the same freedom of speech that the people who put up the flags were,' La Habra Police Capt. John Rees said Monday.

"For this to be vandalism, there had to be an ill-will intent,' he said.

i believe everyone is entitled to say what they think and express their views to a certain extent, when it comes to the point of destroying other peoples property then it turns to vandalism and the police should then step in. In Liverpool where im from the police would have arrested them for disturbing the peace.

Nope, destruction of property is not free speech. Nice try at getting a rise though, red.

Ok, good point...if they had wanted to destroy their OWN stuff, that would have been better. Destroying someone else's display is wrong. If you want to put a Star of David next to a cross, that's free speech, you don't have to destroy the other person's cross.

thanks for the switch soldiers.

I hereby give up commandership of Operation blown capillary to Huskie. QuickDuck is now second in command.

I am so ashamed. Busy showed me his little girl panty collection he bought at Wal-Mart and I folded like a cheap Sears suit.

I can only hope I am still allowed at the command center.

While this is not something I myself would do, I would defend someone else’s right to do it. That’s part of the whole freedom issue.

Another example: KKK marches.

Remember YOU asked what WE thought …. So don’t get your panties in a bunch us just because we disagree with you.

This is a little off topic, but what is up with city and town councils adopting pro and anti war resolutions. When I see my mayor in Europe negotiating something, then I have no problem with it.

Worse yet, some of these city councils are adopting resolutions without consenting with any of the people who actually live there, instead opting to let the board members decide how the town or city will view the war.

In several places, a couple in Pennsylvania, councils adopted anti-war resolutions only to have the townsfolk literally revolt and the board, with egg on their face had to revote and turn them down.

Whatever your stance is, do you think a few board members should be able to adopt a stance that speaks for everyperson who lives there...?

What's next, people coming out and adopting "the block" resolution or "the neighborhood resolution"...? Then again, Mrs. Jenkins might make a good foreign diplomat.

it was the police that characterized it as such!

Since when were cops First Ammendment Attorneys?

Why weren't the people who created the memorial charged with littering, or building without a permit or loitering?

For the same reason the police can stand idly by when the klan decides to "light" a cross.
