[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 1196962, member: 12952"] Is this wacko enough for you ? [URL='http://weaselzippers.us/2013/09/12/leftist-students-at-vermont-college-destroy-911-memorial-display-to-protest-american-imperialism/']Leftist Students At Vermont College Destroy 9/11 Memorial Display To Protest “American Imperialism”…[/URL] [URL='http://middleburycampus.com/article/911-memorial-uprooted-in-protest/']The Middlebury Campus[/URL]: A 2,977 flag memorial was ripped out of the ground in front of Mead Memorial Chapel shortly before 3 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 11 by a group of five protestors claiming that the flags were on top of a sacred Abenaki burial site. The flags — meant to commemorate each of the 2,977 lives taken in the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks — have been posted in the grass between Mead Chapel and the Davis Family Library annually in a joint effort between the College Republicans and Democrats for nearly 10 years. Ben Kinney ’15, president of the College Republicans, spent two hours putting the flags outside of Mead Chapel on Tuesday night, and happened to be walking up the hill towards the chapel when he saw four females and one male stuffing the miniature flags into black trash bags. “I got there just as they were taking the very last of them out of the ground and putting them in piles,” he said. “At first, I the group was comprised of College Democrats helping put the flags away before the rain rolled in, but then I realized what they were doing.” [B]Kinney said the protestors told him they were “confiscating” the flags in protest of “America’s imperialism.”[/B] There was no discussion. No compromise. We asked if we could put them somewhere else, but they wouldn’t listen. [/QUOTE]
