Vandalized Confederate Monument |
In Arkansas, Confederate tombstones were toppled and many broken, in a historic cemetery, resulting in thousands of dollars of damage. Confederate monuments were vandalized, including one in a cemetery (see photo left).
Do we have to start citizens' committees to guard our Confederate dead? If so, let the guards be armed, and the vandals forewarned: if we catch you desecrating graves and vandalizing monuments to our Confederate dead...there may be blood and it could be yours. Do not tempt fate; people are very angry and emotions are high.
Destroyed Confederate Tombstones in Arkansas |
According to the US Congress, since 1957 Confederate veterans are considered to be veterans of the United States Military eligible for benefits(the last one died in '58 so it was more or less symbolic). Isn't there a law against desecrating Veteran gravesites? Beyond any normal vandalism charges?
