I'm gonna blow I think....
I better quit looking at the news before I have a stroke.

"exercising the same freedom of speech that the people who put up the flags were,

give me an fing break.

and 911 was planned out, a plane never went into the pentagon so lets fight for a peaceful solution and destroy a memorial.

There are so many obsinities I want to yell out at these people while kicking them around mafia style. Unfortunately, I'd be breaking some laws. ****!

Police watched it and said it was freedom of speech.

How do they know it was anti-war protesters that did this?

I'm pretty sure you can subsitute anti-war protesters with scum (in THIS article) and the article would read just as well

IMO the reasoning they did it is irrelevent. They vandalized a memorial created by the COMMUNITY for 9/11. I stress that it was created by the community because this was not a gov't action that created the memorial, it was a band of people that wanted to show their emotions for a very traumatic event. The memorial had NOTHING to do with the war.
I think the owner should press charges, and nail 'em.
The memorial was on private property, this goes beyond any free speech because the vandalized items were NOT owned by the vandalizers.
If the property owner decided to go ballistic and trash the memorial then yes it would be freedom of speech because it is on his property (still would be wrong IMO but thats another story), however the vandalizers did not own it and therefore it is a crime.
Apparently the police in that area either aren't so bright, or they support the vandalizers actions (or their all good buddies )

Some people just have to much time on their hands.

Can you imagine sitting around with your friends and saying hey lets go destroy the 911 Memorial for a lack of anything better to do.

Morons....................

What's the big deal? Its vandals and not protestors.

Vandals will always do something for maximum publicity and thrill.

So far, thanks to the lunatic left and their inability to apply logic to this very serious situation, Saddam is winning the mental aspect of the war by a long shot. He has divided our country and turned us against ourselves. Whatever happened to “United We Stand” and the overwhelming patriotism that followed 911?

Protests will not stop this war. Screw the protesters. I wish they would just move to France, or Iraq for that matter, if they hate the US that much. They only serve to hurt our troops and bolster support for our enemy. These nuts better stop after the war starts.
