Arm yourself. The police will not “save” you or your property. If you’re a white Christian conservative male you are on your own.

These statues should have been long removed.

You are a Talibanesque thug. I feel sorry for your friends and family, I wouldn't turn my back on you. Keep your Reno ass out of southern politics.

This comparison is way over the top. The Confederacy never had concentration camps.

The left controls the narrative and nation.

Has anyone fought back against the riots? I fear that the feral youth will simply enjoy a genocide. Self or family defense is pretty much treated the same as murder, if not by the courts then it will be by an overwhelming mob, and it’s clear cops don’t care either.

The American Taliban Party (a.k.a., the Left) (a.k.a., the Democrat Party) is dead set on destroying our wondrous Republic. They just don't have the patience to wait another decade or so until they have dumbed down every person under 50 in this country as to why, despite a few flaws, the United States is the greatest country in the history of the world.

The Left/Democrat/Taliban Party will push this to the point where normal Americans will either defend our Republic or accept its death from the enemies within. The Left/Democrat/Taliban Party is confident of victory, a victory they cannot achieve through free elections, and part of their confidence is because they can count on those soft, cowardly, unprincipled RINOs that hold positions of power and authority in the Republican Party to continue to lie to their constituents and to continue to undermine this country that provides them and their families with liberty that money can't buy.

To borrow a phrase from Milton Friedman -- This is the time to decide what to do about this ... while we still are Free to Choose.

Whatever. You are on the losing side of this, vent if that makes you feel better. A more constructive approach would have been to engage in a constructive discussion about what should be retained, where and how, rather than fight a losing battle to save all. That will end in all gone. Sorry to be the bearer of that reality check. My concern is that this will taint patriotic conservatives, loyal Americans, President Trump, and our agenda to Make America Great Again.

Even if they did, people should know about it, because if people are in denial, they are set to establish more communism/fascism.

When people like us get the cojones to do it.

I think there are many on the right who find little to no value in destroying statues. We're not guided by emotions like leftists are.

The only reason that the Lenin statue in Seattle has not been vandalized is the civil culture of those opposed to Lenin. Hatred of Communism is an ethical decision based upon values of liberty in a civil society. A civil society does not resort to anarchy. The difference in behavior between the Left and mainstream America cannot be so stark. What we are seeing from the Left stands out like a sore thumb. Hypocracy always reveals the truth. The Left is burying themselves with their behavior.

Who made you God?

These statues honor the ancestors of many people in the south. They fought for state's rights. If you don't believe in state's right you should go over to DU or some other rat hole.

Hard to believe you are from Nevada, the home of Mike O'Callahan, a patriot.

Besides being scared out of their limited wits, I think the police have decided that American citizens are just not worthy of their motto — which has become a hackneyed phrase — “to protect and to serve” ... much less that citizens are not worth putting their lives in peril.

No cops there,but cameras all over the place.

If they wanted to get them,they could get them.

It was cameras that nailed the Boston bombers.

This type of thing could spread if not stopped.

Btw, have they announced they will ID everyone who participated in the destruction and prosecute them?

In Durham? The same cops that protected the prostitute Crystal Mangum?

“It needs to be removed,” Loan Tran, an organizer, said earlier Monday.

What's next? The erection of a Ho Chi Minh statue?
