Leftists Smash Christopher Columbus Monument
breitbart ^ | IAN MASON

Posted on 08/22/2017 3:58:28 AM PDT by davikkm

Leftist vandals in Baltimore, Maryland, smashed a 225-year-old “racist” monument to discoverer of the new world Christopher Columbus with a sledge hammer in the wee hours of Monday morning, posting a two minute video of themselves in the act to YouTube. As reported by local news site Baltimore Brew, the masked vandal’s video and the signs they left beside the destroyed monument were laden with the same Marxist and college “critical race theory” jargon employed recently against supposedly “offensive” memorials to Confederate war dead and military heroes. An unseen narrator of the video speaks over footage of a be-hoodied man destroying what is described as the oldest monument to Columbus in the country. As he puts it, the crime is justified because:

Christopher Columbus symbolizes the initial invasion of European capitalism into the Western Hemisphere. Columbus initiated a centuries-old wave of terrorism, murder, genocide, rape, slavery, ecological degradation and capitalist exploitation of labor in the Americas. That Columbian wave of destruction continues on the backs of Indigenous, African-American and brown people.

CANT WAIT for them to attempt this in NYC.

My wife has a view of the statue from work during the day to alert me to any protests (as I work overnight and can get out there during the day) .

And I’m TRYING to organize a watch for the statue.

Though the statue is not remote by any means and that area doesn’t sleep so it will be not be as easy to do for these @@@holes as it is in other areas.

In the days of Egypt's Pharaohs and dynasties, often times records and statues were defaced, erased and destroyed to blot out some lost battle or individual.

Fast forward tot he Soviet Union, same “PRAVDA” lies, same censorship and purges, 1917-1989.

Fast forward to America in 2017. These moves are unprecedented. The defacing and attempts at blotting out any form of so-called White, Imperial colonial history in North America is akin to Chairman Mao's Long March and Great Leap Forward.

Millions died and lives were destroyed.

Is that where we're heading folks?

Meanwhile, these communist SOBs worship mass murderers like Mao tse-Tung, Stalin, and others

Check it out! I got a thank you note from Barack Obama. If he is elected, maybe I have a get out of jail free card. All kidding aside, I’m honored to be acknowledged by someone so important to the future of our country. Also, the Obama campaign asked me to do a poster illustration for sale on their site.

Unfortunately, these useful idiots don’t realize that they are destroying their own freedoms, by wanting to destroy America and her history. Anarchists always want anarchy, until anarchy arrives at their door; then they will want some sense or some form of leadership or government to protect them from their own monster.

If they want to go back to the wild west or pre-colonial days, they will soon find that it was truly “survival of the fittest” - all day, everyday!
