A 60-year-old Island Lake, Ill., man was arrested Tuesday at his home and charged with disorderly conduct after his gestures and choice of clothing scared members at a village board meeting last month, MyFOXChicago.com reported.

Vietnam vet Greg Kachka had the chance to turn himself in but refused to do so because he did not believe he had done anything wrong, police said.

Kachka said he went to the village board meeting to ask questions regarding how the board spends taxpayers’ money. He told MyFOXChicago.com that when he didn’t get any answers he decided to stay.

“This is America,” Kachka told MyFOXChicago.com. “I didn’t fight for this country to be treated like this.”

Two of the board members said they felt threatened by Kachka, who was wearing a T-shirt picturing a Marine Corps sniper that read “Don't Move. If You Run, You'll Only Die Tired.”

Trustee Debbie Herrmann and Village Clerk Christy Kaczmarek filed a complaint, saying Kachka began pointing at them with his index finger and thumb positioned as though his hand were a gun, the Daily Herald reported.

Kachka claims he pointed at Herrmann after she made faces at him, but did not mean the gesture in a threatening way.


“I look up and there’s Debbie Herrmann making all kinds of goofy faces at me,” Kachka told MyFOXChicago.com. “I didn’t do anything intentional. I talk with my hands a lot.”

Kachka is scheduled for court in June.

interesting

How bizarre, how bizarre!!

Sounds to me like there just pissed because some one caught them red handed and put them in there place :P

I want that t-shirt

A veteran of the vietnam war no less. This man survived things that I am so grateful that I never had to see, and they make faces at him for having the nerve to question their spending of our resources? My god, they do not arrest gang members for throwing gang signs, but if you are a veteran, how dare you. This is the most upsetting thing I have read in a long, long time, it seriously infuriates me

they are available all over. Want one I wore so it smells like me?

mmmmmmm... Rob smell.....

I agree.

l'homme does smell good

Rally---Island Lake, Ill!
Bastards..........

A couple years after the Iraq war ends so will all the lip-service payed to all these vets too....
These couch Generals always forget!
Vets are all Vets truly have........

interesting perspective

there is no respect to the vet from the politicians when there is no political gain from doing so. It is truly a sad reminder of how expendable they feel we citizens are

When the need is gone so is the phony respect!!

bingo!

At the moment it is popular to support the troops.
Too much of what you see in America is done for popularity. Very few are original or sincere.

it is not just the vet that suffers fanta, it is everyone. The politicians exploit whatever group it is popular to support at that point. People are so stupid too, no offense, they buy right into it. Don't listen to us today, listen to us tomorrow too, after you have won your election. This country is headed towards another revolution because the status quo needs to end

Sheeple

Dumb arses..............

It should be a requirement that to be President you must also be a vet.
