What a shame.

Someone spray-painted graffiti on the home of President James K. Polk, authorities said.

The words “meat,” “glue” and “SMR” were written around the front door of the home, built in 1816 by the president’s father about 45 miles south of Nashville.

I have no tolerance for vandalism.  It is abhorrent for one person to damage another’s property.  If I were king the punishment for thievery of or damage to someone else’s property would be harsh, while hurting yourself or your own property would go unpunished.

Even in the nice parts of Huntsville we’ll have to exercise caution about which parks we take our kids to as they begin to learn to read because deviants write extensive lewd messages all over the playground equipment.  Their scrawlings are usually laden with misspelled words - a true testament to their lack of taking advantage of the “free” educational opportunities afforded to them by our hard earned tax dollars.
