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."
Another post reads:
"After we have this one removed, we can then work on getting the 67-foot Sam Houston statue outside of Huntsville turned into parking lot gravel, and the forest renamed."
The statue at Hermann Park has stood at Montrose and Main streets since 1925.
Houston is credited for securing Texas' independence from Mexico during the battle of San Jacinto in 1836.
He was president of Texas, a U.S. senator after Texas joined the United States and then became the state's governor.
"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.
He says as Texas Anifa plans to protest in favor of the statue's removal, other organizations will be there calling for it to stay.
"They were the ones that proposed the initial protest to protest this statue and try to have it removed. Our event is to make sure they understand that one way or another that statue is not going anywhere," Amad said.
First they came for...
And tear that damned Alamo down! /s
How ironic. Houston tried so hard to avoid getting dragged into the Confederacy. Why not demand that they change the name of Houston, Tx?
So ANTIFA terrorists continue their violent deconstruction of the United States and Jefferson Sessions will prosecute ANYONE who opposes them for Civil Rights violations!
No, there is not. The American Taliban’s thirst for destruction is unquenchable, and they shall go as far as they are allowed.
See?
Just like I said, they are out to erase ALL of American history.
They think tearing down a statue will create peace?
This is how effed up in the head these idiots are.
You know its been a sore point fir a while so.......
This article is from May 2017.
Think they will start tearing down statues of MLK? What about all of the streets named after him?
Surely they want to be fair about it.
Does this bravo sierra ever end?
Not until the Mohammedans take control.
Or Malcolm X?
Antifa is nothing more than a bunch of trust fund rich kids causing trouble. We need to go “Hats and Bats” on their ass.
Their ultimate goal here is to argue that the constitution itself is merely a relic of our hateful, racist past and it must be repudiated in order to start over with a clean slate.
Or any number of their “heroes.”
Nope, won’t see it.
Statues can be moved back once the Left is drowned, once and for all andtor good. This is like the bad guys shooting up the town square then throwing their empty weapons at the new Sheriff as they scramble out of town.
