Legion post emptied in break-in | The Columbus Dispatch

Bibles meant for grieving spouses and family members, turkeys and canned goods meant for veterans who have fallen on hard times, rifles and donation jars were stolen from the American Legion Post in the Hyde Park and Mount Lookout area.

I'm sure the members will not have a problem making up the deductible on their insurance, but the real loss can never be replaced.
I would guess that the people responsible would be much better off if the police catch them instead of the Veterans.

I feel for Post 744's loss but I can't understand why in the world they were closed of all days Veteran's Day. In this area not only did all of service clubs participate in memorial services and parades they also served free food to any veteran and their family until it ran out. This includes the American Legion, Amvets and the VFW. It just amazes me that this post was closed on this day of all days.

This perp should go to hades. My God, stealing from veterans. I hope they are caught and some angry vet shoots them through the head.

Why can't you just stick to the article? Why do people start looking for something to blame on the victim? Whether they were open or not doesn't change the fact that some low-life stole from them. Let's just stick to the wrong that was done to them.
