Warms the "cockles" of this old Vets heart!
BLUE paint, PERFECT!!!
The vandals are the ones who painted that RACIST mural on public owned streets. Keep it up Patriots hopefully more will start showing up.
These people are gutsy by crossing the police lines to defend our liberty and freedom, to uphold law and order. I am glad to see that there are real American patriots in New York City as well.
They're not "vandals"; they are Patriots.
You are correct!
