Protesters tear down statues, punch senator, set small fire in Madison after arrest of Black activist
Wisconsin State Journal ^ | 06/24/2020 | Emiliy Hamer

Protesters tore down statues of Forward and a Union Civil War colonel, assaulted a state senator and set a small fire in a city building Downtown on Tuesday night after the arrest of a Black activist earlier in the day.......

.......Protesters wrapped chains around “Forward,” the bronze statue of a woman located at the State Street corner of Capitol Square, and pulled her down around 10:45 p.m. The sculpture is a replica of a Jean Pond Miner sculpture cast in 1893 and installed in the Capitol in 1895 that was designed as an allegory for devotion and progress, the embodiment of her home state.

Protesters set their sights on another statue, one of Col. Hans Christian Heg at the top of King Street, tore it down and dragged it into Lake Monona. Heg was a Norwegian immigrant and journalist who died of his wounds at the Battle of Chickamauga fighting to preserve the United States and end slavery.......

......Some protesters punched State Sen. Tim Carpenter, D-Milwaukee, in the face after the lawmaker tried taking a picture, according to multiple reporters on the scene. Carpenter had been headed to the Capitol to get some work done late Tuesday evening.

“I’m heartbroken,” Verveer, who represents the Downtown area, said as midnight approached. “It’s so overwhelming right now to see this violence on the streets to this extent. I don’t know when this will ever end.”......

Tucker is correct. The vandals are humiliating the Aamerican people one city at a time. The police have started wearing dixie cups. The Dem party is please, and Biden is a babbling brook of nonsense.

This is ALL happening in Rat cities. The Rat officials are letting it happen. They are telling their police to do nothing. It’s what they want.

So what are we supposed to do about these vandals destroying their own Rat cities?

That RAT who got punched will most likely cone out and say how he deserved it. “It was a small price to pay for the pain of others”. I can just hear it now. LOL

Most of those rioters are to stupid to know they are eating their own. All they know is violence and destruction.
Many of them also appear to be on drugs too.

“.....I don’t know when this will ever end.”...”

It will end when the political leadership wills it to end and allow law enforcement to do their job with all the back up needed. That is the only way. Otherwise it will slowly grow and their “revolution” will become a reality.

Leftists morons will now reap the firestorm of their own making.

And NYTimes, please tell me another story how Biden is 14 points ahead, ‘cause I’m sure the average republican and/or independent is not the least bit intimidated by leftists terrorist tactics like these.

I’m sure everyone feels totally free to speak their mind to pollsters who call them up out of the blue. They’re not the least bit worried if they say the “wrong” thing they might be beaten up or have their home or business torched. No sir. No problem.

Inside every Democrat is a Republican waiting to get mugged. Good! A lot of fair minded old school Democrats will be taking a hard look at this Communist insurrection.

Or, it will end when the New York Times is burned down.

Not with a bang, but with a whimper.

Stay away, never go back, never give them money to rebuild. Let them live in what they created

Or maybe Trump could redirect some of that wall funding to put one up around all lib cities

It’s not about ‘statues’.

It’s not about ‘slavery’.

It’s not about ‘police brutality’.

It’s about ‘The Revolution’........Always.................

Best thing he could do now is say he has had enough of failing liberal policies and change parties.
