Oh, hell no

I try, truly I do, to not write or talk like the deck ape I once was. The speech I favored years ago was not “seasoned with salt and full of grace,” in spite of my beliefs. I like to think I have made significant strides in that direction. Then, today, I saw this.

Whoever did this, what you did was not protest. It was not a cry for justice. This was petty, vindictive destruction of a memorial to those who were better men and women than you will ever be. For this, I will make an exception in my speech*. Whoever did this, you are an oozing, steaming pile of putrescent dog shit. If I am ever nearby and see you attempt something like this, rest assured that I will fuck your shit up and then smile on my way to jail.

The quite likely childish rant of this angry veteran is hereby concluded.

*I sincerely apologize for the language. I will not apologize for the tone or sentiment.
