Thieves Take Flags Honoring Dead Veteran

[usaftmo]

"Thieves targeted a widow when she was most vulnerable, just days after her husband passed away. They stole a pair of flags flying at half staff to honor the U.S. Marine Corps veteran."

What's even more sad than that are the few people here that will somehow find humor/satire in it.

1. I hope some fellow Marines find the thieves

That would be... interesting.

[onethatcares]

2. I think not,

there is no humor in any kind of thieving.

[usaftmo]

5. Unfortunately, there are

In my 7 years of regularly visiting this site, only 4 people were so ignorant that I put them on ignore. Yesterday something happened which I added 8 people to that list.

Those people are the kind that if they see someone walk on water, he/she would likely say "oh look...he can't swim"!

Thank you for not being in that group. A fallen Veteran is deserving of respect, not satire.
:applause:

3. There is not one person here that finds that funny

guaranteed.

[proud2BlibKansan]

6. I completely agree

What an outrageous accusation.

[proud2BlibKansan]

4. Who are the people here who will find humor/satire in this?

I find more support of our troops here than on almost any other discussion board.

Do you know something I don't? Who are these DUers who think this is funny? Please post a link.

7. Thanks for this post

Your last line, though, is unfortunate. Did you do that as an anticipatory strike? If so, it was ill-conceived and really detracted from this sad story.

8. it was an accusatory strike...to make it seem as if "america haters"...

have a safe home here.

14. What a shame

The story is now lost and your stance did that. People post all sorts of things here. If you're going to start playing psycho police officer, you're not going to be able to contribute much.

The story is lost.

[ret5hd]

16. ahhhh... --- I --- did it...not the person deriding DU. I see.

on edit: and after several have asked for evidence of the OP's claim, none is yet forthcoming. But yet I, mean ol' person that i am, have "lost" the story...whatever that means.

[MisterP]

18. who lost the story, and how did they lose it? n/t

[usaftmo]

11. No intention of taking away from

the story. Unfortunately this site has some people who seem to enjoy instigating/provoking others. Yesterday was my first significant experience in that area, and still have scars from it.

9. There better fucking not be any here who find any humor in this.

And if there are any such scum, I hoped they find themselves face-to-face with the Real Deal.

[Deja Q]

10. I think their actions are disgusting, and are a prime example of how we have DEVOLVED as a nation.

12. There's not a DAMN thing funny about anything that dishonors our troops -

Which is why I hate 99.5% of all Republicans I meet.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

13. Your point in posting this seems to be

to denigrate DUers... as your closing statement accuses posters here of being lower than the pond scum who stole the flags.

Al I have to offer is: :wtf:

[usaftmo]

15. A small number of people; yes

You know, the disruptors.

[ret5hd]

17. And still, at this late date, not one example of a DU'er finding humor/satire...

What say you, usaftmo???

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

19. OMG! FLAGS! VETERAN! DEAD!

:rofl:

[Blue_Tires]

20. i don't get it...

what are they going to do; sell the flags?? this seems like a punk-teens-with-nothing-better-to-do story...that should be the first place to ask questions...

[gatorboy]

21. What's even more sad is you have nothing better to do than flame bait.

Tough day at the office?

[lonestarnot]

22. WTF is wrong with you?

:wtf:
