Belgium have vandalized statues of King Leopold II, who was responsible for heinous crimes against colonized subjects in Africa more than a century ago.

This is one case where I approve taking down a statue.

Leopold II was up there in terms of body count. He should have been forced to abdicate by his own government, would have to know more about 19th century Belgian politics to understand why he wasn’t.
