Christopher Columbus statue vandalized in Houston's Bell Park
KHOU ^

Posted on 08/18/2017 8:58:24 AM PDT by TigerClaws

HOUSTON – Houston police say someone vandalized the Christopher Columbus statue in Bell Park overnight.

Police were called to the scene between 12 a.m. and 2 a.m. Friday at Bell Park in the 4800 block of Montrose.

It appeared someone dumped red paint on the statue.

According to a plaque, the Italian-American Organizations of Greater Houston donated the statue to the city in 1992.

Houston police have no suspects in this case.

Restoration crews are now hard at work to clean it up, a painstaking process.

They went right past Washington and Jefferson and went straight to Columbus. I’ve always believed it was a mistake to defang the mafia. If they still had power no one would have the guts to deface Columbus’ statue.

I’ll bet that this is the year they finally proclaim that they have justification for eliminating Columbus Day parades. Once they stop, they’ll never start again.
Just one more step toward the destruction of this country.

What are we to replace these statues with? Persons who have sat on welfare all their adult lives? NFL players that beat their wives? Rappers with an IQ of 7?

The left is completely unhinged. They’re asking for something here they truly don’t understand what it will cost them.

I’ll make the hour trip to defend the statue in Columbus Circle.

Houston is up to the paesans down there.

If deblasio, that fake Italian ####, tries to chage the nae to “indigenous worthless losers who couldnt’ win a war” day, I’ll buy 10 statue and put them all over my frot lawn, then call the media so i can beat the #### out of any freaks and faggot that come protest on my land.

And YES, EVERYONE in this neighborhood is of Italian descent, and proud of their heritage but Americans WAY First!!!

That’s wahy Verrazano and Amerigo and Columbus mean so much to us.

I thought that the other big city was liberal. Houson is too?

Where do the conservative votes come from?

What about Dallas?

What’s the REALLY liberal city down there?

I think Wolf Blitzer was on the right track and now it all is starting to make sense.

1) Charlottesville violence
Man runs car into anti-protester protestors

2) Barcelona/Spanish violence
Copycat act on busy city street

3) Columbus Statue vandalism

Anti-protestors vandalizing a statue of Columbus who was funded by Spain to discover America

Bottom line is Spain’s funding of an evil white European man of privilege, to exploit the natural resources of the Americas for their gain and ultimately provide a new market where they could sell more slaves and make more money!

Yes, but what they don’t realize is that once they get “their people” in power, the rioters and the media will the next target for the purge. Rulers don’t want negative media or counter revolutions.

The media is participating in their own demise.

One other irony: when leftist dictatorships come to power, the first people they purge are the idealistic activist types who are "true believers" in the ideology. Once in power, dictators have to actually govern and maintain a semblance of order, and college campus protesters with poor hygiene don't help them do so. Lenin, Stalin, Mao, and Castro regarded their own equivalents of today's Antifa as useful idiots - helpful in overthrowing the old order and bringing them to power, but only good for lining up in front of a firing squad afterwards.
