Symbol carved into green at Lakeville golf course
LAKEVILLE, Mass — Police along with the Secret Service are investigating after a local country club discovered a symbol that represents eastern religious beliefs carved into the green.
Lakeville Country Club workers discovered the vandalism early Monday morning.
Police believe the vandals meant to carve a swastika next to President Barack Obama’s name on the 18th hole; however, the symbol was backwards and means hope and peace in some Eastern countries.
The vandals snuck in at night to carve their message, according to the owner of the country club.
You know Obama’s in trouble when he gets a field symbol carving protest in MASSACHUSETTS, quite possibly the bluest state in the union.
Fancy a backwards swastika being a symbol of “hope,” but not “change.”
Another version of this story had the Secret Service involved in the investigation. I fail to see how the matter of what is at worst misdemeanor vandalism that doesn’t involve physical threats against the President should interest the SS.
