A statue of Confederate Gen. Stonewall Jackson was discovered vandalized Wednesday at a Civil War battlefield in Virginia on the morning after officials in Prince William County debated renaming roads and buildings honoring Southern leaders.

A large quantity of white paint was poured on three sides of the statue’s polished granite base, the National Park Service said in a statement, and the word “Dead!” was written on the statue in gold spray paint.

...

The vandalism happened the morning after a raucous Board of Supervisors meeting in Prince William County — where the statue is located — in which protesters were kicked out after yelling “Shame!” over the board’s unwillingness to support a resolution condemning violence in Charlottesville and to rename roads and government buildings in the county.

They’ve sealed the FBI files on Dr. Martin L. King, Jr. until the year 2027. What are they hiding? Do they have a problem with us knowing the truth? If we knew the truth, Would there be so many monuments to Dr. King?

Truth is, there are going to be people that disagree with any monument. There are just some people that want to divide this nation.

Yeah, when I am triggered the first thing I think of is defacing the statue of some guy who has been dead for 150+ years. It must be all his fault.
