ORCAS ISLAND, Wash. � Vandals burned dozens of small American flags that decorated veterans' graves for Memorial Day and replaced many of them with hand-drawn swastikas, authorities said Monday.
Forty-six flag standards were found empty and another 33 flags were in charred tatters Sunday in the cemetery, authorities said. Swastikas drawn on paper appeared where 14 of the flags had been.

That's pretty sick.

This sickens me, I bet someone will scream something about freedome of speech, or how this is a 'fitting' protest to the war in Iraq.

Further down in the article, who's link I neglected to post, sorry, it says "it's not free speech, it's a crime". And they're right. It wasn't their property.

This was vandalism, free speech doesn't cover vandalizing graves. I hope they catch teh person who did this.

Apparently criminals have no respect for anything nowadays.. not even the dead. This is kind of disgusting in a very deep way, and I hope the sick disgusting moron with a terminal case of idiocy burns in heck... but that's me. I also think that the protest of the war in Iraq is *beep*, as they are targetting people who died so they could have the very freedoms that they abused here. It's just pure disgusting idiocy. Any other discription of it...is smoke and mirrors.

If I caught them I'd beat them several times. They had the nerve to do this on Memorial Day.

There's probably a message behind doing it on Memorial Day, sadly. While this was a crimnal act, what message could there be? No, Seriously, think about it.
