  1. I wonder whatinthehell the connection he was making with desecrating Veteran’s Memorials with…wha?

    I’m surprised it’s a nubian only because I can’t imagine what their beef would be with our military’s memorials.

  2. Black lives matter, not in this case.
    Give him the maximum and move him to the Aryan Brotherhood cell block.
    I’ll wager he may even find a few vets in his new residence.

  3. I’m sorry to have to feel this way, but I’ve just had all I can stomach from these types of degenerates anymore. This is the perfect time for that tree and noose and hang a sign on him saying this is what you get for desecrating such a display. This evil has to stop.

  4. I am sure his defense will be that the crosses were a reminder of the KKK cross burnings and the lynchings that followed and he just reacted to 250 years of injustice. Can I practice law now?

  5. There is a fuller story about this at the link, below.

    Whether or not this guy, Burrus, is sympathetic to BLM, I hope people will make the connection anyway. Their days are numbered.

    “The display in Central Park contains more than 5,000 crosses, each bearing the name of a Henderson resident who served in the military.

    Family members arrived to see if any of the crosses that bear the names of their relatives were damaged. Some arrived and were relieved to find certain crosses unharmed, while others were brought to tears by the damage.

    Bob Dutton Sr.’s son, Robert K. Dutton, had a cross in his honor displayed in the park, and it was destroyed by the vandalism.

    “I lost my son seven years ago, and this is so sad to know somebody would do this without thinking about the consequences,” Dutton said.

    Kathy Tigue has lost three brothers who have served in the Armed Forces, one of which most recently died in March of this year. While the crosses in their honor were not damaged, she felt the sting that other families were feeling Saturday morning.

    “This is heartbreaking,” Tigue said. “How could someone be so cruel, so heartless is beyond me. God help whoever did it. It hurts these people, who have worked so hard.”

  6. It wouldn’t be fair to the other candidates at BUDs, you know he’d be a strap-hanger and a buddy fucker. A few hours of surf torture, a wetsuit appreciation swim and a long date with the steel pier prior to his service at the VA would be appropriate. Then off to Syria/Iraq/Afghanistan for some experience “consulting” outside the safe zone.

  7. Correction: Burrus is all about the Leftist, anti-police, anti-military, anti-religion, BLM movement. Junior thug with at least 3 arrests on various charges, including “1st D. Wanton Endangerment” (I don’t know what that means), DUI, revoked license, the usual. You basic BLM loser. His people are defending his actions on fb.

    Tony R, I believe you just won your first case.

  8. “My Niggah” Genetic dumb-assery on display! A people perpetually in search of an identity. Even money says this ‘brightly lit candle’ is an aspiring rapper, waiting to hear from the colleges to which he applied. Hey! Lookie over there…… something shiny………..

  9. So how would mowing down crosses that commemorate deceased servicemen for Memorial Day be considered “fighting back”? And what did those dead servicemen do to Burrus to make him their “victim”? And, what MoeTom said.

  10. B.Woodman. Thanks. Third twin tipped me off with/ Seals.
    I was not familiar with the acronym, but I am now.

    I hear Lib Lar almost made it through the course, “hell week,” as Brad calls it, but a crab ripped his little dick off
    while he was frolicking in the sand after a cold dip in the ocean. Snopes will verify.
