What I'd do to them is not printable.
Do hope they are caught and are given a substantial prison sentence.

[Sqad]

This is n't News or a surprise, as I have said on AB many times, that this is an increasing problem with the modern generation...........

Lack of RESPECT and DISCIPLINE..............and no steps are being taken to slow down this process.

[ummmm]

I don't understand any vandalism but something this is especially bad.

[Spicerack]

Not mindless vandalism, either. These graves were targeted.

[ummmm]

There's been vandalism all my life. Smashed bus stops, bus stops, shop windows etc.

[jackthehat]

It certainly seems that those particular graves were specifically chosen.

Prosecutions and reparations should follow...

[Sqad]

Yes ummmm,,,,but your life experience is limited.

In my generation, that is the generation which involved the D-Day landings the vandalism of this specific nature would have been treated very seriously, the policeman would clip you around the ears, drag you back to your address and your parents would give you a good hiding and the local community would ostracise you for a a relevant period of time. Petty vandalism has always been with us, but this cannot be described as petty, plus the Model train exhibition.
But...I have forgotten....since corporal punishment has been abolished, we have developed a less violent society.

[ummmm]

How is 45 years limited?

[albaqwerty]

I suggest a fitting punishment to be to look them in a room, one at a time, with ex-service personnel.

Those still serving might face a court case 30 years down the line, so ex-service surely would be the way to go?

Having researched my grandfather's war history, both in WW1 and WW2, anyone who vandalises any war-grave should not breathe.

[Sqad]

ummmm...depend upon which we are talking......just one generation.........30 years or more before the generation to which i am referring.

Life didn't start for everyone when you were born.

[Mamyalynne]

The list of words to describe such behaviour is long.

Hateful will have to do for me.

[Lie-in King]

Appalling vandalism by tiny-minded idiots.

[Sqad]

ummmm....my reply to you was a bit insensitive and hurtful.

I retract it completely.

[ummmm]

It's OK, Sqad.

[fender62]

was it mindless or a certain section of society ?

[ChillDoubt]

Fqn vermin!

[naomi24]

I agree with Spicerack. This is not ‘mindless’ vandalism. I'd hazard a guess there was purpose in it.

[agchristie]

Utter moronic madness.

[sanmac]

And it was probably done at night so that they could blend into the darkness whilst committing this desecration.

[fender62]

sanmac, exactly
