Border Patrol memorial taken down, mock border fence remains standing

[Isitmeorarethingsnuts?]

Is anyone else getting sick of the obsessive use of the word "ignorant" lately? It seems whenever someone disagrees anymore this word is bound to pop up. But then I guess it's hard to be pushing PC so hard if you call someone "stupid". I guess the "enlightened" feel so superior that they think no one will notice?

Indeed. The precident has been set that throwing cotton balls on the sidewalk is a "hate crime" (see University of Missouri) therefore, writing on the sidewalk in front of a memorial is defacing public property, IMO.

With all due respect, that time came and went at least 15 years ago (a.k.a. one generation ago).

Sorry this is too much for me, for me not too much disturbs me, as this does. Something drastically wrong, and this Country better grab hold of what it is. We don't fix what is wrong now, we lose control.



What in the name is happening to this Country, lack of values, lack of respect, lack of common decency.

Rights seem to be going to the wrong people, and i am not happy about this, it saddens me. I think maybe us common folk, maybe need to make our voices heard, because if it is not going to be for those of us who care, who in the hell is going to give a damn.

It's defacing public property, which is a crime.

Chalk washes away with water or rain; it is legal to write on sidewalks with chalk as it does not permanently disfigure. Paint? No dice.

Look it up in any jurisdiction. Some cops might become robocop but are in the wrong when doing so.

People who use the word "ignorant" are as most don't know what the word truly means. It's akin to spewing the words "retarded" or "gay" to belittle one who is neither.
