Abraham Lincoln Statue Vandalized

Chicago, IL – In the most dumbfounding vandalism of the year, somebody set an Abraham Lincoln statue on fire in Chicago on Wednesday, according to 15th Ward Alderman Raymond Lopez.

The monument has stood near 69th & Wolcott St since it was erected in 1926. It is now blackend by fire.

By all appearances, somebody dumped accelerant on the bust and then lit it on fire.

According to Alderman Lopez, Chicago PD is investigating who committed the act and what their motivation was.

Abraham Lincoln, who led the Union to victory in the civil war and ended slavery, appears to be an unlikely target for vandalism. At least, that’s what I would think. Based off of the comments of some locals, Abraham Lincoln was a racist who said a lot of “racist shit.”

Didn’t our government buy a country in Africa, so blacks would have the choice of returning to that continent? Isn’t that country named Liberia? As in liberty?

One might claim monument violence is the start of CW II

Let's go back just a few months. There was an attempted assassination of several Republican Representatives at that baseball practice. How much investigation has been done to the background and connections of the shooter? Where was the media outrage? How come even DC pols have let that issue disappear? How about that having happened in VA, with no outrage or "get to the bottom of it" from their excuse of a Governor?

One can only conclude that even DC elected Republicans are in on the dismantling of the US as we used to know it. I do think that attempted assassination was an attempt to violently overthrow the elected US government.

Has somebody started a Go Fund Me account for blacks who want a one-way ticket to Africa?

It will take gun shots during the act to stop this insanity.
Not right away, of course, but unless and until the idiots see that they can actually lose their life over a few Soros dollars ... nothing will change.

Unless the idiots see the ones in the background are sending them out with a suicide vest on ... nothing will change.

When will the “activists” start demanding that Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson, et al images be removed from money?

Every white man ever born before 1995 is a racist. /s

You forgot every white man born after 1995 who doesn't agree down the line with the political positions of the alt-left. Obviously, they are all racists, too.

I read some things that said what you posted, but I’ve also read that Lincoln changed his mind about blacks after he met with some of them personally. In other words, he realized he was mistaken, and did what he could to set things on the right path.

" Chicago PD is investigating "

Checkout http://heyjackass.com/ they have a less then 15% homicide clearance rate and they're going to solve an arson.

He did. His first belief was a common belief at the time. His first comment is what they are calling him racist for though. They pick and choose what they want to be mad about and what they want to believe. I personally know some extremely intelligent black people. My doctor is black and I love her to pieces.

The problem with radicalism like that which is occurring now is that it is not like a python that eats its prey, takes a long nap to digest its meal, and goes out to get another. Rather, it's like an all-destroying cancer that only gets stronger and more voracious with each victory. Make no mistake; its purpose is to destroy the United States and all that makes the U.S. good. Thus, the relentless attacks on all our great leaders.

He was perfectly content with it to save the union or content to abolish it to save the union, which ever worked. Turns out the later.

This is just the beginning for the American Taliban, they will demand anything with the countries founding be abolished right down to the founding documents. This is going to get nasty.

100% correct. The fact is tribalism is a major part of how people organized themselves and thought. Not condoning it, but it has taken decades since then to civilize and correct man’s view of one another. There was lots of religious bigotry as well that we have moved past.

Oh, yes. He was fine. The whole history of the country might have been different if he had lived.

This proves their end game. It’s not about “sins of the past”, it’s about being white. Ending you is their end game. Prepare.

As the Chinese proverb “cursed to live in interesting times” our times just got a lot more interesting.

Never give up hope, have faith in God, take care of your family and friends.

Pray for guidance, we will get through this.

This is the “moral high ground” of the city that is murdering and spending itself into Detroithood.
