No matter how you feel about Cindy Sheehan camping out at W's Crawford Ranch to protest the war, I think that everyone can agree that actions of Larry Northern are despicable:

Sheehan said she doesn't want to press charges against a pickup driver who early Tuesday allegedly ran over a makeshift memorial for the more than 1,800 Americans killed in Iraq. Police said he drove a pickup over 500 crosses and 40 American flags.

Court papers identified him as Larry Northern, 59, from nearby Waco.

He has been charged with a felony criminal mischief count. Damage to the memorial was estimated at more than $1,500. He was released after posting $3,000 bail, according to court records.

Sheehan said protesters would ask for a restraining order to keep the driver away from their camp.

Dave Jensen, a participant in the protest, said the truck driver appeared to be dragging a piece of pipe behind his pickup to aid in the destruction.

"The whole idea is everybody is just supporting the troops and honoring the troops," Jensen said. "This was definitely not a way to honor the troops, no matter what side of the fence you're on."
