THIS IS WHY CALIFORNIA CAN’T HAVE NICE THINGS: Vandals Deface Vietnam War Memorial In Venice:

Vandals defaced a memorial to Vietnam war veterans in Venice – an awful sight on this Memorial Day weekend.

Stewart Oscars welled up as he looked at the vandalized mural located on Pacific Avenue near Sunset Court. It was covered in graffiti from end to end.

“This knocked me out. So sickening. Just sadness…think of all these people. They’re gone,” Oscars said. “I remember the Vietnam war and how friends went to war, and bodies came back. Somehow, it has to be taught that this is not a good idea. This is actually stupid.”

Yes, but who will teach kids graffiti is vandalism, and not a “legitimate form of self-expression,” as so many leftist cultural elites believe?
