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?
Surely they will be charged with destruction of public property. Right?
Where was the genuine statue??
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.
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 ??
Will Sessions and the FBI start an investigation for destruction of public
property?
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.
Wikipedia list 18 presidents that owned slaves, starting with
Washington who held over 300 Jefferson 600. When will we tear their monuments down ?
When I decide to break the law, it’s going to be horrific.
Mr Sessions, part of your job is to prevent these provocations.
Obviously no one has objected to the statue of Muhammad in the Supreme Court Building.
Everyone those police officers standing at the door are NOT doing their jobs.... Every last one them should be fired. I count at least 6.
Durham police later said they monitored the protests to make sure they were “safe” but did not interfere with the statue toppling because it happened on county property.
1) How are they going to make sure people are safe from a distance?
2) Did anyone bother calling the county police?
3) How long did this incident last?
4) How can the police do their job because per their spokesman it’s “county lines”.
“Because this incident occurred on county property, where county law enforcement officials were staffed, no arrests were made by DPD officers,”
Oh yeah those pesky county lines. Yeah right as if you let that stopped the police in the past when an active crime is in the process of being committed.
Total horse $hit!... Every last one of them should be fired.
Neo-ISIS
The group that met Monday say their purpose is to “smash white supremacy.”
There is the truth of the matter. To them, everything is tinged with whiteness and they want to destroy white culture, white institutions and white people. That racial hatred will not die until it is resolved by CW2.
So this is what it has come to. Leftists are allowed to destroy public property while the police stand idly by and do nothing. I guess laws are only for conservatives.
So somebody named TRAN, probably an NVA or VIET CONG sympathizer, decides to change AMERICAN HISTORY and the police and sheriffs departments are OK with that?
The MEN on both sides of that conflict fought BRAVELY and HONORABLY for what they believed in.
(more than I can say about our current police and sheriffs).
So now days a son or daughter of Ho Chi Minh can just tell us he or she doesn’t like our history and our memorials to the BRAVE AMERICANS, both BLUE AND BUTTERNUT who died in the fiercest, most bloody conflict in our nations history?
And it’s OK for a SLOPE HEAD transplant to tear down our war memorials to these BRAVE, HONORABLE, GREAT MEN.
my, my; how our once great nation has fallen.
And I am a GODDAMN YANKEE!!!!
