How they are inflamming their base
A women from my hometown came to pick up some stuff we were giving away. As we stood talking about this and that, she told my wife and I about how angry and upset her ex-Marine husband was about "those" protestors destroying a Marine monument bench. Her husband was so upset he was ready to get his gun and defend a statue drawing attention in Pensacola.
I told her to hold on, went into the house, got the above pix and showed it to her. It has been making the rounds here in Panhandle in media posts as an example of what protestors have been doing to dishonor the various armed forces.
When she read the description of what really happened in regard to the bench, she was stunned. She asked to take the photo to show her husband and , of course, I gave it to her.
