Some a$$hole took it upon themselves to vandalize the tank overnight by spray painting free Palestine down the side. I would like for some of our vets to get ahold of whoever did this.

I saw FREE PALESTINE sprayed in large letters with red paint this morning on a roadside directional sign on New Circle Road heading to Alumni Drive from Richmond Road AND, in even LARGER letters, on a wooden fence on Alumni Drive between New Circle and Chinoe Drive. I believe these were painted during the evening, but am not positive. I did not see them yesterday.Looking at Lexington media sites, can’t find the story
Want to get people on your side? Don’t do what these dipshits have been doing. Attacking old people, vandalizing veterans memorials, shutting down interstates, attacking Christmas celebrations… none of these things do a single thing to help anyone in Palestine and none of those things do anything to get anybody to feel sympathy or want to help the Palestinians. Stupid self indulgent self important kids. That’s all they are.

Leftist scum. Democrat foot soldiers with a privilege of violence and destruction.
GFYHating a group of people like Ida hates progressives from coast to coast cannot be mentally healthy. Be like John Cena Ida and Rise Above Hate!
Woahhhh...on Christmas evening no less. And you're someone the rest of us should look up to? You're one of the proud and few Patriots? That's quite the escalation. Try a bit harder to rise above hate, Ida. We only have one life a piece. No sense wasting it on staying uber pissed at strangers on a sports message board. How's your gas prices in Idaho looking?

These "protest" don't care about helping Palestine. Most all of them, the bigger ones in cities, are just part of the plan. It's all on purpose to cause civil disruption and its only going to get worse so tune in to your fav news station for the latest episodeWant to get people on your side?

So you're pro vandalism and disrespecting veterans?Woahhhh...on Christmas evening no less. And you're someone the rest of us should look up to? You're one of the proud and few Patriots?

Just rode my bike over there and happy to report the tank appears to have been repainted and the monuments cleaned. Kudos to the good citizens who did so.
Please, I beg you to point me to one of my posts where the above is true. This isn't one of your best quote and posts.So you're pro vandalism and disrespecting veterans?
Great look.
I'm guessing "stupid" is inferred in all crimes, so giving it specific subset to rile people up hasn't happened. Though this is clearly stupid, and to be pointed, achieves a result contrary to the stated aim. As a good ol' preacher once said, "Lord, protect me from your followers." The associated dumb asses with every hot topic ruin it for the sincere. I am certain there are legitimate believers (right or wrong in their conviction) that think Palestine should be free, do not advocate the destruction of Israel, and are opposed to vandalism. I am not one of them, but I am confident they exist.“LPD says none of the statements appear to be hate crime related.“
Alrighty then.
If this had been written on a tank or on the side of a downtown wall before October 7th I’d be inclined to agree.I'm guessing "stupid" is inferred in all crimes, so giving it specific subset to rile people up hasn't happened.

Local coverage
Veterans Memorial in Lexington vandalized, local veterans work to cover it up
Professionals have now been called in to help clean-up.www.wkyt.com
It's waterbased paint mostly. So it just washes right off. Source: Did construction painting as a summer job as a teenager.The city called Mobile Soda Blasting & Coatings to remove the vandalism. They cleaned the spray paint off of the concrete. However, the paint on the tank will remain until the city can paint over it. The process is delicate. If the tank is power washed, it will remove the tank’s paint.
If anybody here is close to this situation, this doesn't need repainting.
I had a friend that would remove graffiti from rail cars 20 years ago. That rattle can paint is so thin and not baked on like at a bodyshop.
Easyoff oven cleaner takes it right off. Spray on, wipe it off.
Weird shit that I know.
I'd lay 100 to 1 that the dim-wits that did it couldn't locate Israel on a globe/world map.
Stick to the political thread, Hyman. Your audience there is much less sophisticated and, as such, likely to reciprocate and appreciate your 4th grade humor. 4th grade relative to Kentucky, of course. 1st grade in non backward states and countries.I'd lay 100 to 1 that the dim-wits that did it couldn't locate Israel on a globe/world map.
