Yes, Those Are Kids Climbing on a Vietnam Memorial
.,.,.......................................................................................
by Matthew Munson link





The Vietnam Women's Memorial, dedicated to the women of the U.S. who served in the Vietnam War, is one of many sites on the National Mall that honors those who have sacrificed for our country.

Matthew Munson was visiting the powerful memorial when he saw parents encourage their young children to climb on the monument for a photo op.

Munson snapped a picture of the kids treating the memorial like their personal jungle gym,
as veterans looked on, appearing angry and hurt.

The parents are vile scum and they're raising a new generation of disrespectful scum.

Wis State Trooper killed in shootout with Bank Robbery Suspect Rate Topic:
.......................................................................................

Casper was a 2011 graduate of Kiel High School, where he was a wrestler, soccer player and member of prom court.

He received his badge on December 19, 2014, according to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation website.

The events of Tuesday started with a bank robbery in the Village of Wausaukee.

The robbery happened at the State Bank of Florence in the 200 block of Main Street in Wausaukee at about 2:00 p.m., according to the Marinette County Sheriff’s Office. The sheriff’s office says the suspect robbed the bank after firing a shot.

Police say the suspect stole a bank employee’s vehicle and left the scene.

A short time later, police were called to another scene near the intersection of Highway 180 and Jermac Road. The call reported a man lying on the side of the road. When police arrived, they found the man dead beside a running vehicle. He has not been identified.

Police believe the suspect stole another vehicle, encountered the victim and shot him.

Officers put out the stolen vehicle’s information to other law enforcement agencies.

Trooper Casper spotted the vehicle at about 5:30 in Fond du Lac. The suspect and the trooper exchanged gunfire, according to the Fond du Lac Police chief. Both Trooper Casper and the suspect were killed.

Fond du Lac police reported another bank robbery at about 4:30 p.m. in the 200 block of North Peters Avenue. The suspect was able to get away with an unknown amount of money in that robbery. Nobody was injured.

It is not clear at this time if the two robberies are connected.

A Facebook page has been set up for Trooper Casper. Click here to view that page.

A Blue Light vigil will go through April 1 to honor Trooper Casper. People can turn on a blue light on their porch or in their window.

All to often we only read about officers for the wrong reasons.
This is sad all the way around, 22 maybe 23 years old, he had only become an officer with the State in December. Left behind are a wife and I am guessing a lot of grieving loved ones.
Perhaps the only nice thing is at least he got the son of a b$tch who it looks like also killed an innocent passerby.

:pray:
Just hoping that those he leaves behind can find peace in knowing that this young man died making a difference and his community a better place.
