The First Virginia Regiment was an infantry regiment of the Virginia Line that served with the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War.

/sarcasm on/Most of them were colonizers and slave owners anyway./sarcasm off/

Sarcasm is all we have because he sure as hell aren’t fighting back.

it couldn’t be logistically impossible to have a certain number of Patriots at at least the most important statues in our areas 24 hours a day. It will be difficult and interfere with our daily lives but it wouldn’t be impossible.

the Italians are proving that by keeping intact two Columbus statues that would certainly have been destroyed already. And they are catching hell from the DA and the mayor and the media but they are still there.
I don’t know how to get something like that started but it needs to be started and organized

But I will be honest. I think their hatred is stronger than our desire to leave our comfortable homes and lives and face that kind of trouble. I know I really don’t want to.. I think we must keep and soon. They aren’t burning out and they aren’t getting tired of what they are doing and they will grow in numbers.

and by the way it’s not taking a thousand Italians to protect those statues. 30 or 40 with bats and guns seem to be doing the trick

I hate their parents more, for not punishing acting-out behavior when their children were 5. And I’d like to send them the bill for replacing the monument, only 30 feet higher. If I’m supposed to ‘pay’ for a world that existed 400 years ago, the parents can pay for what their kids are doing now. And I don’t care how old their kids are.

I can’t believe the Minute Man still stands in communist massachussetts.

I doubt that WHO is being honored by a statue has all that much to do with why they are being pulled down. They'd tear down George Floyd statues, just for the thrill of destroying something somebody else made.

Probably because they think of their rabble-rousers as the first communists, in a communist revolution.

Where the hell are the patriots in these towns? Why can’t they be like the Italians who protected the Columbus statue? This is ridiculous. Our entire nation will have been destroyed in two months’ time, and nobody did a thing to stop it.

I might as well start posting this info for folks in PA, MD & VA close enough to make it to Gettysburg on July 4th to defend American history. Antifa and BLM are planning to deface/tear down civil war monuments at Gettysburg. I heard through a friend that lives closer to Gettysburg than I, that a large group of armed Americans will defend.

This is great to know. Are they really out with guns, too? I imagine anyone trying to protect a monument esp. with guns will merely be seen as “threatening” and violent, and the cops won’t hesitate to jump in. Meanwhile they’re allowing this wanton destruction and hatred to go on if they’re BLM Antifa.

I think EVERYTHING on July 4 will have to be defended. They hate this country and EVERYTHING with it. It has little to do with black or Confederate.

Richmond PD arrested a white guy yesterday (a Richmond airport cop, in fact) for “trespassing” at a building overlooking the defaced Lee statue on Monument Avenue. This while ~100 BLM activists were still celebrating Juneteenth at the statue the morning after. Supposedly this guy (or someone) had gotten into the building and had been spotted on the roof, which overlooks the roundabout where the statue stands, although he was arrested while standing out front, not on the roof. The guy was carrying a handgun, but carrying it legally.

The RPD has done virtually nothing to stop all this.

The New Taliban didn’t wreck this statue because of a slavery connection. They wrecked it because they hate America, and want to eliminate all vestiges of its history. The American Revolution achieved a state based on “liberal” values (liberal is the true sense - not the warped false definition thrown around nowadays). Antifa = fascist anti-liberals.

It's not about punishing. It's about teaching respect for others, and being present in their lives. It's also about not having angry parents, or activist parents, or both. Greta Thunberg is a good example of this.

You are certainly correct. I'm sure they will go after Union monuments as well. Last week, BLM defaced a statue of Robert de Brus in Scotland. He was most certainly the most racist king in history. After all he meant to enslave every black in Scotland. His only problem was there were no blacks in Scotland.

That is where the rubber will meet the road. I fervently hope and pray that Gettysburg will again be “The High Water Mark”.

Did you hear Trump in Tulsa last night? He gave a big shout out to Italians for their defense of the Christopher Columbus monuments.

I forget his exact words, but he was basically saying Italians were the *only* ones who prevailed over the crazies.

It was the first rally I ever watched and I did hear him say that

of course I was thrilled :-)

That’s why when that fat black guy died on Staten island they went to Manhattan to March.

That’s why Staten island is the only borough that hasn’t been burned.

Because if they came to our side of the island many would never see home again
