(June 5, 2008) -- Downtown LB's military recruiting station at Pine Ave./6th St. and the immediate area were marked with anti-war type graffiti overnight.

LBPD Public Information Officer Sgt. Dina Zapalski says that about 6:30 a.m. today (June 5), officers were dispatched to the area of 6th/Pine and found spray painting had occurred on the military recruiting station's windows, building and adjacent sidewalk.

The statements (summarized/paraphrased) were along the lines of 'we're all people,' 'wars are unnecessary,' peace signs...and one that included a possibly threatening statement which LBPD is investigating, Sgt. Zapalski indicated.

LB photojournalist Daniel DeBoom says that when he arrived in the 8 a.m. hour, graffiti removal crews were already on scene.

He says he saw one tag atop a planter that simply stated "T." Another on the ground in front of the planter read "WE ARE ALL PEOPLE"...and was painted in red.

"By the time I arrived the city workers had cleaned it to a dull version of its former self," photog DeBoom said.
