Colonel accused of defacing cars bearing pro-Bush stickers

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.

1. I hope nobody actually supports this kind of behavior.

(this has been posted here a few times already and I know some do) :(

4. I agree

This sort of behavior is anathema to tolerance. Of all things, liberals, as true Americans, should be most proud of owning is tolerance of other peoples ideas and views. These sorts of actions only lend credence to the far right labels of intolerance and extremism they love to pin on liberals.

2. he has very bad judgement, i understand the feeling of wanting to do that

but i had my Kerry sign stolen more-then once and it really pissed me off. It's not ok for us or them to participate in that behavior.

3. And is he doing it as a political statement or to discredit our side?

Sounds a bit like a Rove trick to me.

6. Good point....

it is, after all, a Lt. Colonel...what percentage of those could possibly be anti-Bush? Unless he knows a lot more than we do.

5. I want to do it, too, but you just can't....

especially when those stickers are on hummers...but you must restrain yourself.

7. I'd never vandalize another person's property, But those Humvee

wannabe Army types, if I'm in a parking lot and trying to walk over to my car, and having to squeeze by the H2's, well, their side mirror might need adjusting if I accidentally brush into it, but I wouldn't call that damage.
