QUEENSBURY, N.Y. (NEWS10) – A simple trip to the store ended with a veteran getting a hateful letter left on his car.
When a local Iraq War veteran went shopping Thursday morning, he did not expect to find an anonymous note with ugly language left on his car.
The letter blasted the Marine for having a Purple Heart and serving overseas. It stated, “All of you Islamaphobe vets deserve to die.”
The note has people shaking their heads. Some call the author pathetic.
“It’s just shocking,” Ann Lanoir said. “It’s just ignorant. That’s the way I feel. I feel like some punk wrote it.”
“Makes me sick to my stomach,” Navy veteran Robert LaPrairie said. “To me, it’s an act of terrorism really.”
“I just think it’s awful,” John Mohring said. “It’s very terrible. Veterans are our heroes.”
NEWS10 ABC showed the note to Lt. Steven Stockdale from the Warren County Sheriff’s Office to determine if the person who wrote it could face charges.
“That’s the first thing I look for Rachel [Yonkunas],” he said. “When we see something like that – is there any potential criminality?”
Stockdale said it is illegal to leave a note on a windshield, but he said the biggest disappointment is that the author thought writing the letter was okay.
“Communication these days has gotten very easy for people who want to stay anonymous,” he said. “And it takes a lot more courage to strap on an 80 pound pack and go to the Middle East and fight for your country than it does to scribble on a note and leave it cowardly behind on somebody’s windshield.”

SORRY THIS COMMENT WAS SUPPOSED TO GO WITH SGT DUCHESNEAU'S LATER POINT REGARDING CAR CAMS. Is also excellent for establishing fault in motor vehicle accident. Got similar (Vision Tec fm Amazon $25 - $30) at suggestion of Massachusetts State Trooper. Fortunately haven't needed.

We are seeing more and more of this type activity. People need to remain vigilant. People who do this sort of thing deserve to have their butts kicked. The disdain for the military and police in this country is a result of the moral decay that is permeating our society. I will leave it at that and not turn this into a political statement.
Unfortunately, with the news media reaction to such stories, there have been instances of people "faking" these notes for the attention it brings them. Not saying this is one of them, but, anybody caught doing that should also be scorned for it.
