Does anybody else get the impression that all of these attacks on the CSA were planned far in advance and they were just waiting for some nut to shoot up a black church so they could implement their plans?

A blind man could see it. Jerrett surely coordinated this attack.

Protesting. Vandalizing. Destroying existing order. Altering and erasing history.
That's all the left can do. It's a philosophy of envy that can never construct anything.

I predict that the same people that did this will now deface MLK and civil rights monuments to escalate racial tension.

It will start with just vandalism then move to domestic terrorist attacks.

Once there is damage to the monuments there wont be any funding to rebuild so they will have to be torn down.

Remember how Bill Ayers claimed the Weather Underground attacks were never intended to hurt or kill anyone, only cause damage to structures.

You will be hearing the exact same thing from the MSM. The violent destruction of the monuments will only be targeted at the monuments not people.

People need to remember the biggest symbol of racism in the US, by it’s size alone, according to the radical left is the Gateway to the West Arch.

Civil War II is coming.

Coming?
It was declared in Jan 2008.

But, like dinosaurs, it took the American citizenry's nervous system that long to notice.

Race relations are as bad now as any time in American history. Everything black is good, everything white is evil and bad. All of this is brought by Obama’s stirring the pot of racial hatred every day of his administration. He has virtually destroyed the effectiveness of the police to deal with massive black crime and done everything he can to destroy the Republican dominated white South. And it will only get worse.

There was a pitcha of a vandalized headstone a couple of days ago...

I just wonder how soon those who respect and honor the Confederacy will man a watch on those memorials, and beat seven bells out of those who seek to deface them?

I think just about everybody has that impression. This one is being run from the very top. Note how quickly the NPS, who had intended to keep selling Confederate memorabilia at Gettysburg, was shut down. That order didn't come from anonymous "social activists", it came from the Executive department.

The graffiti reflects the racial tension that permeates post-Ferguson America...

How was it different in pre-Ferguson America?

Obama, Jarrett and Holder are joyous over growing social unrest and the media’s ability to pin it all on malleable republicans in congress.

This is the kind of crap that makes me come down on the side being attacked...

My convoluted heritage (NC, WI, Swedish, etc.) being what it is, I am now declaring myself a Southerner vs. American if this is the kind of crap that defines being American.
