It began with a prayer and ended with a loud clunk.
On Saturday afternoon, a group of about five dozen indigenous activists of all ages — children and elders included — gathered at Father Serra Park in downtown Los Angeles, just south of Olvera Street. As Tataviam/Chumash elder Alan Salazar burned sage and invoked the spirit of his ancestors, a group of young activists bound the nearby statue of Father Junipero Serra with ropes and tore him off his pedestal to chants of "Take it down! Take it down!"

Won’t be long before they officially rename Junipero Serra peak in Monterey county. Catholics and Protestants will soon be targets. L.A. is not the city of Angels anymore. I moved from there around the time they removed the cross from the City Seal. I knew at that time that eventually Christianity was going to be the target as is prophesied in the Bible.
The World Hates the Disciples
18 “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own.
Heathens...they have no right, democrats have thrown away rule of law. We must take it back...
Over the years, I’ve read some biographies about Fr. Serra and his founding of the California missions.
Within the founding of these missions was the desire to convert the Indians to Catholicism and Western ways. It was met with some success but in some areas, there was brutality and some abuses by the priests and Spanish military authority.
Father Serra never ever approved of those abuses and frequently was at odds with the Spanish military authority over it. But Indian activists and white liberals see or acknowledge little of that. Instead Serra (because of his stature) is chosen as a whipping boy.
I knew that with all that’s been going on with the tearing down of statues across the nation,it’d only be a matter of time before Serra’s were next.
It is not the case that LA is no longer the city of angels, it’s that fallen angels have replaced holy angels.
cool. can we change the name of Los Angeles to Angel City now?
or San Diego to Didachi City (try picking on the Greeks, heathens!)
how about Santa Monica to Saint Mona - who shed tears over her son’s heathen ways?
or California- The Great State of HotAsAnOven
this could get to be a whole lot of fun
Commie Carolina a pr person issues a pr statement
for the LA slimes .
This thing issued is a insult and dangerous example of how radicalized these people are .
The WH needs to stop allowing these left wing pr groups into any media operations.
See them in court and ask them to prove they are not Dnc- Commie pr groups .
What that right there did was pit the indians and antifa against the hispanics. It’s very trendy right now, in Mexico especially, to reclaim Spain as their mother country. So while messicans condemn english colonialism out of one side of their mouths, they just as fiercely celebrate their own spanish colonial history, especially monuments to their past that are in the USA. This could get real interesting. As we saw a glimpse of with the New Mexico statue incident, where American-Mexicans were defending that monument from non-mexicans.

I ask for DNA tests for all these “native” “activists”. A DNA test will help show whether their 1700s ancestors were born in California or born in Mexico. If they were born in Mexico, they were not native to California, no matter what they had to do with the California missions.
Your first mistake was caring what these brain dead AOC look-a-likes think. I for one don’t give a damn about anything they have to say. I don’t care and I don’t listen. If we all told them this and then stood our ground, this would soon be over. I really don’t understand how the right thinks this is going to end. It’s not just going away. It will get worse with each step towards the election.

“...As Tataviam/Chumash elder Alan Salazar burned sage...”
Alan Salazar has been shaking down LA developers for a long time. First he “objects” to the “desecration of Native lands”, and then suddenly turns around after a time and supports the project.
The he shows up and waves his burning sage around to consecrate the land.
I’m sure that’s all there is to it, and that there’s no baksheesh.
It’s all a grift.

No matter how hard they try, history cannot be whitewashed or erased.
The low information types never knew it and never will.
And can NEVER be paid off or appeased.
“Caucasian elder”? Shouldn’t you be more specific? Are you Armenian, Georgian, Abkhazian, Ossetian or Azerbaijani?
