It seems that state officials in North Carolina are a lot more upset at what happened than UNC administrators or their police department. This is great to see assuming it comes to be. However, someone is going to have to be responsible for a 24 hour guard on the reinstalled Silent Sam because the Brown Shirts that hauled down the statue hate to lose and will be screaming loud and acting on it too.

Still amazes me that with all the film, phones and other security cameras, that the perps aren’t identified and arrested.

So disgusting to see vandalism, being accepted as protests.

NO Freeking way.

One of the morning talk show hosts really laid into the legislators about how they were doing nothing in the face of such lawlessness on a STATE SCHOOL campus. Seems that may have gotten a fire lit under them...rightfully so.

Anarchy is right! Reagan dealt with the same thing back in the late 60’s early 70’s. And he didn’t pull any punches. See below video.

This obvious response almost seems courageous in this environment. But, let’s don’t forget, it isn’t courageous at all, it’s obvious.

"...Silent Sam will return..."


No he likely will NOT be returned to his spot.
We refuse to have the fortitude to really prosecute vandals to serve as a deterrent. Giving these dirtbags a 5-year sentence will halt this B.S. pronto.

There is not enough money to finance the proper security needed.
Lots of anarchists are willing to spend a night in jail and pay a $25 fine if they get to topple a historic statue out of the deal.

Good. I am a 5th generation graduate of UNC. I lived about 2 minutes walk from Silent Sam in Old West for four years when I was a student there.

I do not doubt that a majority of the current student body and damn near all members of the Alumni want Sam replaced forthwith.

Just quietly hookup a heavy duty Electric Fence Charger to Sam while reinstalling Him.

Put the ZOT!!!! on a few of the punks should slow them down. They probably aren’t smart enough to unwire it.

“a decision the university announced several days after a shrieking mob tore it down from its pedestal and vandalized it.”

To hell with ‘decorum’ and how ugly a word it is,...Silent Sam was torn down by a shrieking mob of flaming assholes! I don’t care whose sons, daughters, grandsons and granddaughters they are or who they think they are. They’re just a bunch of assholes who are too old to not know right from wrong.

I hope so, but I’ll believe it when I see it.

UNC’s board is about as loony left as they come.

The “shrieking mob” will, of course, return and tear it down again. And the cops will get suckered into busting a few noggins, and blood will flow, and some hot-head(s) will escalate things to God-knows-where, as the Media bask in their smug ivory towers of Righteousness, and preach and tsk-tsk — AT THE MESS THEY HELPED CREATE!

They need to rig a couple explosive, indelible dye packs in the statue's base.
The next @holes who try to knock it over will find themselves a lovely shade of 'I did it' purple or yellow.

I am confident that there are people who would volunteer to be guards for the monument.

Meanwhile, Klantifa and their friends need to be stopped.

The only way the insanity poisoning higher education today will come to an end is if Boards of Trustees or state legislatures act. Administrators are clearly unable or unwilling to face down the barbarians so others must do so.

Amazing. Compare this to Duke where the President announced they were destroying the sculpture of Robert E. Lee preemptively before anyone staged a phone ginned-up violent demonstration. Lee’s statue appeared on the Gothic Chapel at the center of the campus. At Duke the President of the University is the Radical Leftist.

Good!!!! Someone is FINALLY getting this thing right!!!!

Faculty and other presumably “mature” persons who participated in the politically-correct vandalism should be especially ashamed of themselves!!!! And they should be held legally accountable as well!

CORRECTION: This post originally identified the university as having made the decision to re-install the monument. This article has been amended to reflect that a member of the UNC Board of Governors declared that the statue would be re-installed, but that Chancellor Folt has yet to confirm the monument’s fate.

Title has been updated to "Confederate monument to be reinstalled on campus, UNC board of governors member says"
