HOUSTON - The starting point was a Facebook post by a group called Texas Antifa.
The post alleges the Sam Houston Memorial's so-called demise will begin on June 10.
Why remove it?
Other posts by the group explain its stance.
"Texans agree the disgusting idols of America's dark days of slavery must be removed to bring internal peace to our country."

If this is the the way of future slave holder assests need the be demolished. Black colleges established by slave owner bastard fathers need to be closed.

I just want them to understand exactly what they are asking for. Only the insane would attempt this crap.
Besides, Governor Abbott will NOT put up with this nonsense.

The Beatles’ Penny Lane needs to be banned by these despots as well.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Penny
James Penny (died 1799) was a merchant, slaveship owner and prominent anti-abolitionist in Liverpool, England. He defended the slave trade to the British Parliament. Penny Lane in Liverpool, later immortalized by The Beatles, is thought to be named after him.

The best possible outcome for them? Governor Abbott puts them on notice of the consequences of any attempt to harm people or property.
He will end it.
If Texans, end it, it will not end well for Antifa Idiots.

If the eboniblacks are in on this, they should be informed -- in no uncertain terms -- that Sam Houston was evicted from the Texas Governorship because he opposed Texas' secession to join the Confederacy in the Civil War!

Time to pony up and draw a hard line against these traitors.
Time to let the grass get watered with the blood of traitors and the fields get trampled with the hooves of patriots.
June 10th sounds like the date or is it only being tossed around?
I need a field trip.....if only to a postage stamp piece of green that is in occupied territory.
Bring your vests and not the ones you wear to Sunday meetings at Church is what I will be telling my fire team.

They will go NOWHERE with that crap here. They might to to Jail if they attempt damage. Jail or pine box makes no diff to me.
These asswipes are messing with Texas history and one of the Fathers of Texas and need to be body slammed HARD.
They can walk away on two legs or be carted by twelve. Going to boil down to their choice I believe

Antifa had better be prepared for the fight of their lives, if they intend to remove any monument to Sam Houston in Texas.
Who is going to stop them? The authorities?
Americans would be my guess.

Who’s going to stop them?
With Sylvester Turner as mayor and Arthur Acevedo as chief, I’m half expecting a stand down order.

You are absolutely correct. The most ardent supporters are the first to be destroyed. People could ask Trotsky or Robespierre, but they aren’t available.
