Protesters pulled down this 15-foot-tall statue of a Confederate soldier Monday night, Aug. 14, 2017, on East Main Street in downtown Durham.

So if we want to tear down statues or monuments we don’t like, it’s OK and the police will just stand aside and make sure we are safe doing it?

[unixfox]

Surely they will be charged with destruction of public property. Right?

[a fool in paradise]

Where was the genuine statue??

[EinNYC]

What business is it for an Asian (”Loan Tran”) to pull down a Confederate statue, which had nothing to do with her? This smells strongly of Soros or similar payoffs being given to useless idiots like this to start up trouble.

said Takiyah Thompson, a protester.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

His name is “lie to the infidels” Thompson.

[smokingfrog]

And I doubt there will be any consequences.

The left becomes more like ISIS every single day.

When they start tearing down every single sign with Robert Sheets Byrd (D-KKK)’s name on it and pi$$ing on his grave then I’ll consider their outrage over history may have an ounce of merit.

And is that “law enforcement” on the steps videoing ??

[tennmountainman]

Will Sessions and the FBI start an investigation for destruction of public
property?

[Lopeover]

Wondering how long it will take the global Communists to want to blow Washington’s face off Mt Rushmore because he was a slave owner.

[TMA62]

What is the point of having police when they sit idly by and not stop vandalism and riots?

This smells strongly of Soros or similar payoffs being given to useless idiots like this to start up trouble.

Just like in Charlotsville :

Charlotsville “Unite the Right” Organizer Was Occupy Wall St. Activist & Obama Supporter!

We can start by pulling that MLK monstrosity in Wash DC down. And then piss on it.

[cmj328]

This is a hate crime.

Wikipedia list 18 presidents that owned slaves, starting with
Washington who held over 300 Jefferson 600. When will we tear their monuments down ?

A group formed over time.
A ladder was brought to the scene.
People climbed up, and pulled down the statue, and WHERE THE HELL WERE THE POLICE for this illegal gathering, vandalism, etc?

[The Toll]

When I decide to break the law, it’s going to be horrific.

Mr Sessions, part of your job is to prevent these provocations.

Followed by the country itself.
