The man, believed to be in his thirties, had been part of a group of protesters attempting to topple the statue yesterday evening, WAVY News reported.
According to one witness, the group had attached ropes around the base of the statue and had been pulling away at it for ‘some time’, when the monument eventually gave way and fell forwards.
The man, who has not yet been identified, had been standing directly in front of the statue as it fell, striking him in the head, a witness said.

Demonstrators stopped to commemorate the man with a moment of silence before acquiescing to police demands to leave the area.
The man was taken to the hospital, though his condition is not known at this time.

Please share this article wherever you can. It is the only way we can work around their censorship and ensure people receive news about issues that Democrats and the mainstream media suppress.
Don’t count on it. Most people still vote Dem ..have you seen all the kneeling and capitulation?
Awwww that’s too bad...
Couldn’t really see the punk getting his head crushed but the scream by the girl says it all. Must have pretty grisly with all those brains all over the place with blood and eyeballs. Anyway,what’s for breakfast?
And the first thing they did was call for the cops and an ambulance.
Pretty disgusting.
My dad always made it clear that there are some places you just shouldn’t be. Not sorry the protester got knocked on the head. Where’s OSHA when you need them.
Apparently Democrats don’t just not understand economic systems, but also gravity and physics.
But, on the bright side, it only took one day for some rapper to declare himself warlord over the “liberated” area of Seattle and taxing the residents and beating people.
Quick, but typical, end to the revolution.
There is already a thread with over 100 posts on this. That is OK though I can’t get enough of the shadenfraude.
Have you seen all the people NOT carefully photo-opped on FNN?
I hope it knocked some sense into him.
The “kneeling and capitulation” are from liberals who always have and always will k and c.
So who does he sue now?
This matter of over throwing a government has always been very dangerous.
“Demonstrators stopped to commemorate the man with a moment of silence before acquiescing to police demands to leave the area.”
Police were probably there and allowed the whole thing to happen...just following orders.
Hopefully, to the guy who had his melon cracked, you have one helluva permanent bad headache.
Where are the police?

Yep, nature abhors a vacuum. Something or someone will replace any police force that is removed. It is the law of the jungle. There has to be a alpha dog, moose, bear, tiger, lion, etc.
The protestors need to pay all his medical bills, not one dime from taxpayers.
The very definition of “poetic justice”. But it is too bad the statue did not get more of them.
