Veterans Memorials Damaged In Four States As Nation Marks Memorial Day

As Americans pause to remember those who served and paid the ultimate sacrifice veterans sites in four states have reportedly been vandalized and damaged.

Veterans sites in Alabama, Kentucky, and Virginia were vandalized, some extensively, according to ABC News. A veterans memorial in Anniston, Ala., was also struck by vandals twice in the past month, the latest occurring days before the nation marks Memorial day, according to WVTM 13 News.

The veterans memorial in Anniston’s latest incident included flags placed for this year’s Memorial Day celebration, which were ripped up and trashed.

“This is hallowed ground to me, it always has been,” Ken Rollins, with the state’s Board of Veteran’s Affairs, told WVTM. He was disgusted to find out the small American flags lining the park for Memorial Day were trashed. “The sticks were broken and placed in a pile. The flags were nowhere to be found,” said Rollins.

Troopers Arrest Three in Organized Retail Crime Thefts

Rehoboth, DE – Troopers have arrested three people in connection with an organized retail theft operation.

The incident occurred around 8:40 p.m. Saturday May 28, 2016, after troopers were dispatched to the Marshalls store located at 4575 Coastal Highway for a report of a shoplifting in progress. Upon the troopers’ arrival, three subjects were observed running from the store with a loss prevention employee giving chase. Troopers were able to detain the three suspects without further incident.

The investigation revealed the three were removing security devices from clothing in the store and then concealing them in a backpack in which they also removed from the store’s sales rack. When the loss prevention employee confronted the three and identified himself, they dropped the merchandise and fled out the business.

Upon being placed into custody, the three, who were identified as Carlos A. Laguna, 39, Nestor R. Rozo, 35, and Neyger B. Rodriguez, 35, all from Astoria, New York, were searched and troopers located devices commonly used to defeat and remove the security devices. A vehicle the three were using was located in the parking lot of Marshalls, and upon looking inside, troopers observed what appeared to be several shopping bags with clothing. The vehicle was then towed to Troop 7 where a search warrant was obtained and while conducting the search, troopers recovered 119 articles of merchandise totaling more than $3,300.00 from nine different stores throughout the Rehoboth area (Marshalls, Target, TJ Max, Reebok Outlet, Tommy Hilfiger Outlet, Banana Republic Outlet, Guess Outlet, American Eagle Outlet, and the Ralph Lauren Outlet).

BREAKING: Will Baltimore Burn Tonight?

Via ABC News:

A judge found Baltimore police officer Edward Nero not guilty today on all four charges for his role in the events leading up to the death of 25-year-old Freddie Gray.

Nero, 30, had been charged with second-degree assault, reckless endangerment and two counts of misconduct in office, all stemming from his actions during the initial stop and arrest of Gray, who suffered a catastrophic spinal injury while in police custody. Gray died one week later on April 19, 2015, and his death sparked days of violent protests in Baltimore. Because Nero opted for a bench trial, Baltimore Circuit Court Judge Barry Williams decided his fate rather than a jury.

During the case, prosecutors argued that Nero had no regard for Gray’s safety and was reckless by ignoring policing rules when he failed to place a seat belt on Gray, who was placed on his stomach in shackles in the back of a police transport vehicle. Congressman Elijah Cummings, D-Maryland, said he would like to see seat belts in every police van moving forward.

This begs the question: will the radical leftists who invade Bernie Sanders rallies and march with Black Lives Matter tear what's left of decrepit Baltimore to the ground?

Baltimore Blames ‘White People’ After Cop Found Not Guilty In Freddie Gray Case

BALTIMORE, M.D. — Baltimore city residents expressed disappointment in response to the city circuit court Monday finding a police officer not guilty in connection to the death of Freddie Gray.

Officer Edward Nero was charged with several misdemeanor offenses after Gray died April, 2015, in his custody. Baltimore Circuit Judge Barry Williams found Nero not guilty of all charges just over a year later. Residents were not surprised given what they saw as racial bias in the criminal justice system.

“White people are turning a blind eye,” resident Mumin Soweto told The Daily Caller News Foundation. “We’re not the ones stirring up the racism.”

Update From Teen Injured At Stephen Decatur

Well, as of today my boyfriend was discharged. I got to see him for a few minutes before he left and just that little moment of time meant everything. I'm so blessed, all of this love and support from people I know, and have never even met. I have troubles getting around to all the messages and posts about me, my dad's was shared over 1,000 times. I wish I could personally say thank you to each and everyone of those individuals. However, my sleep schedule may not allow that. The prayers are being answered by the minute, I could have not survived this accident, I could have needed surgery. But through Him, I can do anything. Through Him I will be better than ever. I am able to eat food with out getting sick, I am able to move my legs with more ease, and tomorrow I may even be able to walk. Thank you all for your prayers, God is good.
