Dazed progressive confesses to La Habra 9/11 Incident

[Newer information will be put in this post.]

I just saw on the TV news confirmation of this post. A kinda dazed or stoned-looking young progressive college student type confessed to putting up the Bob Dylan sign and burning or slashing a couple of the flags. She claims to have done it to express "peace," and, since she put everything back in its place, thinks it's OK.

The police didn't arrest her, because they're waiting for the owner of the RV lot which contains the memorial to press charges.

I'm still waiting for that to happen as well, and until that time I'm still a bit skeptical.

Oh, and by the way, she was wearing pink too.

UPDATE: KABC TV reports that the dazed peacenik might have touched, grabbed, and perhaps even committed assault against one of the memorial's supporters tonight. According to KABC, she and one of her cohorts were questioned by police, but the implication was that they were subsequently released.

UPDATE 2: As pointed out in the comments, the progressive was arrested:

A 19-year-old Orange County woman is free today [Weds.] after La Habra police arrested her for allegedly assaulting a woman who maintains a patriotic display on a fence here...

Jennifer Quintana was booked on suspicion of misdemeanor assault Tuesday after police responded to a call that she had pushed and poked two women [at the memorial]...

Knapp reported that when Quintana came on the scene Tuesday evening she pushed one woman out of the way, then grabbed and poked Tracey Chandler, the Whittier mother of four who has maintained the memorial...

...the incident began Saturday when police witnessed three individuals rearranging signs on the fence. The police came back a second time on Saturday. Sunday afternoon, police were dispatched back to the fence to take a crime report. This time, they said there was substantial damage, which they believe was done early Sunday morning.

"We are hoping to tie together all events and have it to the district attorney by the end of the week,' said Knapp.

Chandler said she was more shocked by Quintana's actions at the fence than by the original destruction of the memorial.

"She walked through the crowd saying 'They can't arrest me, they won't do (expletive) to me,' said Chandler. "To do that, to walk through a crowd of angry people, well she must be one hamburger short of a Happy Meal.'
