'Destroy all monuments of genocide': Christopher Columbus statue in San Francisco vandalized
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | October 14, 2019 | Amy Graff

A statue of Christopher Columbus in San Francisco was vandalized the day before the federal holiday commemorating his arrival in the Americas in 1492.

On Sunday, city workers cleaned up the statue at the foot of Coit Tower on Telegraph Hill that had been covered in red paint. Graffiti on the base read “Destroy all monuments of genocide” and “Kill all colonizers.”

Kinda wish the Europeans had just avoided California. The Aztecs would have marched north, colonized the region, enslaved the inhabitants, cut their hearts out on their pagan gods altars and life would have been wonderful. Also I take exception to their culturally appropriating our paint and written language to do the vandalism.

Hmmm, then we should destroy all the universities, the msm and the dems since they want socialism/communism which always ends in genocide

Yeah indigenous leaders cut the hearts out of their own people as sacrifice and then cut off their heads, they also sacrificed young virgin girls to their fake gods, but these idiots believe their lying leaders and professors that the evil imperialist like Columbus and the Spaniards are the enemy and the murdering indigenous leaders were the victims in all of this. Liberal indoctrination, its working

Harvey Milk had white privilege. He deserved what he got. He committed statutory rape of 16 year old Jack Galen McKinley. Tear down the monument to a rapist pervert.

Yeah funny how just a handful of Spanish ‘murdered’ the Aztec on an offensive colonization. They had help from the people who were preyed upon by the Aztec.

So true! Plenty of native tribes lined up with Hernan Cortes to march on and defeat the Aztecs.

“Destroy all monuments of genocide” and “Kill all colonizers.”
The left is irreparably violent, and it is apropos that they be given more violence than they can handle. Thanks artichokegrower.

Is it too late for all of that? Can’t we find a proxy?

At the northern end of Long Island in the Bahamas a statue of Columbus stands near where he anchored. Some Long Island inhabitants are descendants of people alive when Columbus “discovered” them. Later these early people were plantation slaves. They honor Columbus while people with no connection to him at all hate him. I think that’s because the fascists are out to destroy all American symbols.

Destruction, hatred, bigotry, and name-calling/personal attacks are characteristics of the left.
