Takiyah Thompson, a 22-year-old student activist who participated in tearing down a Confederate statue during a protest in Durham, North Carolina has been released from jail. Thompson is now one of four people as of Wednesday afternoon who have been arrested for damaging the monument, a move that many are calling out as unjust.

"Cops and Klan go hand in hand!"

Sounds like the same "sentiment" that led BLM supporter Micah X. Johnson to ambush and slaughter 5 Dallas cops during a BLM protest just one year ago.

You know...the one after which Obama did NOT denounce BLM racism or hate.

[rktman]

Obama NOT speaking? That’s a switch. I remember it well and was somewhat confused that we heard not a word based on zero facts.

[hal ogen]

This criminal begs for a trial . . .and a conviction .

"...Thompson is now one of four people as of Wednesday afternoon who have been arrested for damaging the monument, a move that many are calling out as unjust..."

I would agree wholeheartedly that her move to damage the monument was unjust.

Geez, doesn't anyone read their BS before they print it somewhere? I know it is the Huffington Post and all...

[blueplum]

no, what is unjust, is putting one person’s ‘feelings’ and impulse to destroy, above the law

[rlmorel]

Gee. I guess we know where that $133 million dollars Black Lives Matter got last year is going.

Signs...busses...organizing. That’s where that money is going.

Think anyone will point out the Cops=Klan message? Anyone? Anyone?

Think any national media is going to point out these are signs printed and distributed by The Workers World Party?

Anyone? Anyone?

These people are virulent, racist, uneducated marxists. The same kind of people who helped Mao murder 100 million of his own countrymen.

[Blue Highway]

He? I think “it” is a female even though the jury might be out on that one.

[Lurkinanloomin]

that’s right, his name is “Lie to the Infidels” Thompson

[Cubs Fan]

another book burning liberal nazi.

and another liberal that will not have to pay any price for criminality, do liberals ever have to pay a price for breaking the law? I never see it.

[Retired Chemist]

She’s a commie and supporter of North Korea.

[Netz]

She looks like she may have majored in Ethnic Development and Racial Inequality and later got a Ph.D in Primal Rage Studies...

[Fred Nerks]

...The same kind of people who helped Mao murder 100 million of his own countrymen.

YOUR COMMUNISTS RUN WIDE AND DEEP, W.E.B. DU BOIS AND PAUL ROBESON FOR EXAMPLE:

I read Zeba Blay as “Zebra” passing thought that it was odd name- but these days who knows.

[kaehurowing]

Vandal who destroyed a war memorial. Classy.

[windsorknot]

Toppling a Confederate statue represents “heroism” by what measure? A measure or standard granted by affirmative action?

[pawpawrick]

I said yesterday after she was arrested that since she’s a black woman(I think) absolutely nothing will happen to her.

[kearnyirish2]

I love how those signs are always held by unemployed, unemployable people; workers my foot!

Years ago when I was in college professors would refer to the non-working welfare class as the “working class”...

[Prov1322]

Since BLM is a terrorist organization, every BLM wall mural or billboard, etc. that has been painted in our wonderful areas of urban blight must be painted over or sand blasted away...NOW.

I am offended by BLM and any record of their existence must be removed from public view...NOW.
