Posted in the Politics board, but figured this is something that would universally piss people off

The centerpiece of Lt. Michael P. Murphy Memorial Park in Lake Ronkonkoma has been smashed to pieces by vandals.

A photo shared on Facebook shows the black granite stone broken into numerous pieces at the park located on Lake Shore Road. Suffolk County Police say a report was filed Thursday. No arrests have been made.

"The Fourth Precinct is assigned to the case," Suffolk County Police Commissioner Geraldine Hart said in a statement Thursday night. "We encourage anyone who may have information to come forward and contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-220-TIPS. A Crime Stoppers fast cash reward of $2,500 has been made available."

"I am at a loss for words right now," Suffolk County Legis. Bill Lindsay III wrote on his Facebook page. "The fact that LT Michael P. Murphy's Memorial was vandalized is reprehensible."





marcusluttrell: Only a coward would do this. We are matching Crime Stoppers Reward to anyone who turns in the low life who did this. To donate towards repairs go to MurphFoundation.org.

How? I doubt there was much if any security there. Smashing something in the middle of the night in an empty park isn’t ballsy

It looks tucked away and pretty isolated from prying eyes on google and I seriously doubt it was under guard. Nothing ballsy about that.

One thing that never disappoints is your capacity to be a total piece of shite.

A good buddy (10th Mountain light infantry vet) was upset about this earlier.

I'd like to meet this vandal an Sonic.

Crossfitters should be familiar with Murphy:

quote:

CrossFit A workout named in Michael's honor is often performed at CrossFit affiliates across the globe on Memorial Day. The workout is named "Murph" and consists of a 1 mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 air squats, and a final 1 mile run. The pull-ups, push-ups, and air squats can be partitioned and scaled as needed. Participants are encouraged to wear a 20lb body vest. This workout was one of Murphy's favorites and he called it "Body Armor"
