Sam Houston statue in Hermann Park causing controversy
Click2Houston ^ | May 26, 2017 | Brandon Walker

Posted on 05/27/2017 4:59:29 PM PDT by Trump20162020

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."

Sam Houston gave up his governorship when Texas voted to ove the Union. These ignorant people must never have had the Texas History course required in Fourth Grade.

There’s no reasoning with the rabid fascist left. It’s a statue of an old white guy and bringing it down fits their manifesto.

"Sam Houston is the father of Texas," David Amad said.

Amad is vice president of Texas open carry.

He says the post has ruffled feathers within his organization and others.




I have a suspicion that the "antifa" fascist kiddies will discover the game is played somewhat differently here in Texas.

Best not be any mischief with bike locks or skateboards. The grownups in this neck of the woods have "bigger toys."

Everyone needs to remember that NONE of these leftist “crusades” would be getting any traction without a compliant media giving them publicity.

They have to be stopped. If we allow them to erase our history, they'll come for us next.

You also said, "might". There are worse repercussions than jail.

It’s the tyranny of the minority.

Give ‘em one thing and they’ll demand another.

I notice they don’t want to put any of this to a vote.

Antifa had better be prepared for the fight of their lives, if they intend to remove any monument to Sam Houston in Texas.

Yeah, this won't go well for the loonies.

Better change the name of the city as well. Mexico City has a nice ring. Shows tolerance for those who come here with dreams of reconquista.

>>Someone said that they want the statue removed in Hermann Park because he won Texas from Mexico. Too bad, so sad.....screw ‘em.

So does that mean they want to take down this monument as well?

“This thing is something like 50 feet tall”

67 ft . It was built to that height to scale of Houstons 6’7”
