And if it had?

We need to STOP defending people who want to remove Confederate statues. Even through legal means.

It seems like the only statue in the whole country that’s safe is the Lenin statue in Seattle. Should we be surprised?

In their way, the militant PETA members are no better than the thugs of BLM or Antifa, and are equally resistant to any blandishment of reason of logic.

When righteousness become zealotry, the mob mentality is in full control, and like a swarm of locusts, nothing in their path is safe or escapes harm.

Did you check out the Twitter profile of this “Tuck Woodstock” person who kept warm by the elk fire while NWA played in the background?

@Gendereveal host. Gender & equity educator (http://sylveon.co). Journalist reporting on PDX protests. Gay songs @leisuretrash
. Biracial. They/them.

To a morally- and mentally-addled person such as this, burning an elk statue probably makes pretty good sense.

Distant relative of the Whitetail deer? These are city folk, so maybe just a mistake in identity. “They all look the same” will be their excuse.

The Oregon (OregonLive) reported on the Elk burning with a single sentence in a protest article. The majority of the article criticized the police. Pure Pravda.

It was put up by white people, so it’s gotta go.
