| 'MS-13' vandals deface Vietnam memorial |
| 2008-01-01 |
| Vandals claiming a relationship to the violent Hispanic street gang MS-13 defaced a Vietnam War memorial in Connecticut with graffiti, angering local veterans. "Kill whites MS 13" were among the threatening words spray-painted on the Vietnam War Memorial at Long Wharf, Conn., reported WTNH-TV in New Haven. "This irks me. This hurts me deep to my heart," Vietnam Army veteran Emery Linton Sr. told the station. Linton, who served in Vietnam from 1969 to 1972, noted he lost friends there and called the mess on the memorial a slap in the face to veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. "People here respect these names. They gave their lives for everything, for the freedoms they have," Linton said. Police are investigating whether the vandalism is the work of the violent MS-13 gang. I'm suspicious. MS-13 has a stylized 'logo' that they use on their graffiti. This is 'plain text'. |

| #11 I've had that idea for a while: a massive Public Service Ad Campaign comparing Graffitti-sprayers to mangy cur-dogs marking their turf with urine. Think of the psychological impacts, especially with kids, if it's intensive and prolonged on TV |

| #10 Sounds like a bunch of dogs marking territory since they are incapable of making a difference as a human being. |

| #8 Sad thing is when they catch the little dweebs, the MS-13 likely will inflict far more serious consequences (to preserve their "rep") than the law ever will. |

| #7 VN vets seem like an odd group to antagonize. While they are thoroughly and justifiably revered by the right, many of them are pillars of the left. More than likely the perps are adolescents who are likely to be headed for careers that involve super-sizing peoples orders. |

| #6 Have to agree with Anonymoose - not MS-13 style. Also, P2K is right. A chickenshit act made more chickenshit by blaming it on someone else, someone else who may have an interest in finding out who dunnit as well; especially so if those offenders are not certified MS-13. |

| #3 We don't need lynching, we just need strict enforcement of existing laws by official with the guts to perform the duties of the office they occupy. |

| #1 MS-13 territorial markers are usually done in blood on streets, floors, etc. which the MSM generally hides very well from public view. |
