Iraq veteran victimized by vandals
Anthony Gurreri, a 100% disabled Iraq war veteran isn’t done paying for his service. The West York, PA Marine was attacked by vandals on Veterans’ Day;
“Go back to Iraq and kill more women and kids” was spray-painted on the hood of the family SUV, and “MUDER” — murder misspelled — was scratched into the paint on the driver’s door.
A former lance corporal in the Marines, Gurreri spent nearly a year in Iraq in 2006, wife Stacie Gurreri said. In addition to being shot, he was injured by a couple improvised explosive devices, she said.
Anthony Gurreri came home with two Purple Hearts and a combat-caused medical condition that left him on full disability, according to his wife.
Anyone with information about the anti-soldier vandalism of a disabled Iraq war veteran’s vehicle is urged to call West York Police at 854-1975.
Thanks to Bev Perlson for the heads up.

This makes me sick…
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but when it comes to vandalism and targeting a veteran something has to give. I hope the police catch the jackass(es) that did this and would love the arresting officer to be a veteran himself and for the criminal to resist arrest.
I wish that someone would try that here in Texas. They might learn the HARD way that vandalism ain’t cool. This just makes me sick that people are like this. The sad fact is that if they make it before the judge, they’ll probably get a slap on the wrist. Also, why isn’t THIS classified as a “Hate crime”?? Were the person black or muslim and racial epithets were scrawled on his vehicle and with all of the additional damage done, it most certainly would be.
Totally agree w/ Thor.
Screw telling the police who they are; tell a few Vets, they will take care of it better than any judge could.
I’m just sayin.
But, Is there something besides that to help our comrade? You know me, opening can o whoop ass’d be great! Is there something else we can do?
If the f*ckers are caught left/libtard bureaucrats will probably let them skate due to “insufficient evidence” or some such because actual two (2) Demo-rat voters could at least another 100- 150 registered by SEIUC/ACORN for 2012!
Well,
On the bright side, if these punks are ever caught, their names and addresses will be available to the public, should anyone in the area be interested in using such information to “have a chat” with these jackwagons.

Exactly. Were this against a Black, Muslim or Homosexual… this would be the TOP news story all across the nation. But, because it’s against a military veteran, the only place I hear about it is on this website.
And the left claims they still “support the troops”. Just like they never spit on our guys coming home from Vietnam and calling them, “baby killers,” and the like.
Jesus. Anyone aware of a donation page to help pay for his repairs? His insurance might not cover that.
I’m with Old Trooper and Tim on this one. Nothing like a little ol’ wall to wall councilling. A donation site would be cool too.
I think that we can thank Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, a darling of Kos, among others for this not being a hate crime. It would be nice for someone to “counsel” these asshats for this, then leave them crumpled on the steps of the local PD, with a note explaining why they were left there.
“Now, investigators are trying to determine whether Anthony Gurreri’s service to his country could be the motive behind the crime, police said.”
Gosh, I don’t know what would give them that idea????
What a bunch of fucking chuckleheads. What more do they need to go on, to determine if “Go back to Iraq and kill more women and kids” is the motive related to his service?
