Anti-war conspiracy in North Carolina

Early Wednesday the ROTC buildings at UNC-Chapel Hill and N.C. State University were vandalized with anti-military statements, spurring investigations from police at both schools.

Two statements - "F--- off" and "We won't fight your wars" - were painted on the doors of UNC-CH's ROTC building, the Naval Armory, said Lt. Col. Elizabeth Agather of the Army ROTC program.

Red paint also had been spilled on the steps of the building, at the corner of South Columbia Street and South Road.

Vandalism may not be a big crime, but this should be prosecuted as a conspiracy.

There are right ways and wrong ways to express one's opinion. If you don't recognize that this is a wrong way, then do the world a favor and stay home.

If you really want to state your opposition to war in a forceful way, try doing this in daylight, and accept the consequences of your criminal act.
