Can someone explain the mindset at work here?
Dead soldier’s home vandalized in Indiana.
Kokomo, February 27 - For the family who lives in a modest home in Kokomo, the fatal Iraq attack came last week.
Then the attack at home followed.
Vandals defaced the home of Sgt. Rickey Jones’ family. Eggs were thrown and flags were stolen. Sgt. Jones, a Kokomo High School graduate, was one four soldier’s with the 101st killed west of Baghdad last week.
So who, one week before his burial in his hometown, would vandalize a fallen hero’s house?
Neighbor Robyn Ousley is at a loss to explain. “I have no idea, somebody pretty, pretty awful.”
Another friend, Bill Swaggerty, says there is more than vandalism for the family to deal with. “They’re calling here and saying, ‘I’m glad your son is dead’ and it’s wrong.”
The family’s neighbors have closed ranks, bringing food and flying flags at half-staff. All are signs of respect for Sgt. Jones.
If this turns out to be Fred Phelps’ CHARLIE FOXTROT operation, I hope they get firebombed or something. If it’s the MoveOn-ers, same for them too.
This sort of crap is morally INDEFENSIBLE, the perps MUST BE MADE TO SUFFER, PUBLICLY.

WTFOVER! I can’t believe how blackhearted some people can be! This man gave his life for these cold hearted dumb people to be able to protest the war. Have some respect if not for yourself for the parents who lost this man…OBTW…and I hope Josh who wrote “Hadji Girl” writes a song about these morons too!
