Lenin ?
He’s their HERO
Exqueeze me?! Then why does anyone other than the property owner get a frickin' say?!
oddly this is a great victory for us to finally have someone on the left acknowledge the evil of communism and Lenin ...The Antifa is a Communist front group
if he has links it to a Confederate statue I’ll take it
I said nothing when they came for the Confederate statues/memorials.
The property owners should tell the good Mayor to stuff it.
Lenin statue in Seattle?
Oh the IRONY
I hope “someone” is thinking about where these works of art can be stored until this BS Monument Lynch mob comes to its senses.
Equal time for Lenin?
That Commandment against graven images is looking better and better.
On the other hand he’s commissioned a new statuary hall for Seattle depicting “The Sins of Leviticus”
The Lenin statue is private property and is on sale for the low, low price of a quarter of a million buckaroos. Let Hizzoner buy it and he can do whatever he likes with it. But not with public money.
Just a few days ago I emailed Murray about the Lenin statue, and I got a polite and non-dismissive reply. The statue is on private property, so I don’t think the City can order it removed, but I pointed out to the mayor’s office that he could use his “bully pulpit” to exert pressure to have it removed.
At least he’s being consistent. Seattle has confederate statues? Washington wasn’t even a state during a Civil War.
This is really getting absurd. Liberals are all about symbolism instead of dealing with the problem.
Seattle earned his reputation at a young age as a leader and a warrior, ambushing and defeating groups of tribal enemy raiders coming up the Green River from the Cascade foothills, and attacking the Chimakum and the S'Klallam tribes living on the Olympic Peninsula. Like many of his contemporaries, he owned slaves captured during his raids.
Honestly, Congress (lazy scum) should pass a bill that alternating public landscape should be by referendum only. These left-wing whackos are ruling by decree, a single man making these decisions? Shouldn’t it at least be state congress?
Autocratic rule and mob rule, that’s what we’re reduced to.
It's named for a slave owner!
Look it up, fool!
They had also better change the name of their city, as Seattle is named after Chief Seattle who was a slave owner.
Hmm... on the one hand, I’m not sure about the whole removal of Confederate icons, since it is ultimately part of our country’s history for better or for worse. But on the other hand, I do like the idea of removing Lenin’s statue this time around, especially considering that honoring a mass-murdering dictator is NOT good by any stretch, and besides which, he wasn’t even part of American history in the first place, so he wouldn’t really belong here anyway.
