Colonel accused of defacing cars bearing pro-Bush stickers

Wednesday, August 10, 2005; Posted: 8:20 a.m. EDT (12:20 GMT)


An Air Force colonel is accused of spray painting an expletive and the president's name on vehicles.

DENVER, Colorado (AP) -- An Air Force Reserve colonel could face criminal charges for allegedly vandalizing cars at Denver International Airport bearing pro-Bush bumper stickers.

Lt. Col. Alexis Fecteau, director of operations for reserve forces at the National Security Space Institute in Colorado Springs, is believed responsible for defacing at least 10 parked vehicles between December and June, police spokesman Sonny Jackson said Tuesday.

A car left by a police detective as a bait was also defaced and the detective tracked down Fecteau, who turned himself in Friday. He was released on bond.

A message left for a man of the same name in Colorado Springs wasn't immediately returned.

Jackson said Fecteau is suspected of blacking out the Bush bumper stickers and then spray painting an expletive and the president's name on the vehicles.

4. I know, he'll be punished WAY over the top for it
but it's nice to see that some of the military didn't drink the kool-aid.

2. Sure, applaud this...
Then bitch and moan when you're anti-Bush stickers get ripped off of your car.


Although, for the record, I'm applauding this too. :evilgrin:

Death to the Greedheads!

5. There's, of course, LOTS of the story we don't know
What would make a man in his position do that and jeopardize his career? But I can't resist a little schadenfreude for the poor Repukes who get their cars vandalized. I'll never forgive them for the bumper stickers that showed up all over Minnesota after Wellstone was murdered that said "He's dead, get over it." They are shameless and deserve everything they get.

9. That's saying something for these types....
....I wasn't even aware they had any respect for others. :shrug:

Most of these freeper types will blame Clinton for everything, and all the while deface people who dare stomp on Bush. Including ripping off their stickers etc., they aren't of the smart variety from what I can tell.

I've even heard reports of people get into shooting matches over Bush, is that really happening today?

8. If they were anti-Bush stickers he'd still be on the job.....
Oh yeah,I'm sure the police in Colorado--or Kansas for that matter would come tear-assing out to your house if some freeper had keyed your car or torn up your BUCK FUSH bumper sticker.
