'Pull together back and forth': Professor explains how to topple 'racist monuments'
Washington Examiner ^ | June 1, 2020 | Spencer Neale

Posted on 06/01/2020 8:24:20 AM PDT by kevcol

Amid protests across the country in the wake of George Floyd's death, a University of Alabama at Birmingham professor provided a step-by-step guide along with a figure drawing explaining how protesters can "topple" Confederate monuments.

Sarah Parcak, a well-known archaeologist who received a Guggenheim fellowship in 2020, shared on Sunday "handy" information about how to destroy public property she considered "racist."

"PSA For ANYONE who might be interested in how to pull down an obelisk* safely from an Egyptologist who never ever in a million years thought this advice might come in handy," Parcak tweeted. "*might be masquerading as a racist monument I dunno," she added.

I wonder if we can point the rioters to the University of Alabama at Birmingham where she works.

They can start by toppling her hangout.

Looks like an erect penis. Probably why she wants to topple it.

The people of Alabama ought to demand her resignation. This should not be tolerated anywhere. When a person advocates the destruction of another persons property, they should be dealt with the fullest extent of the law. We are supposed to be living in a civilized society. I guess I was wrong. People used to respect the property of others. I guess to some, that is some old fascist idea created by rich white men. I wonder if they would have the same attitude if people started going after their stuff.

That’s all the Leftists ever wind up accomplishing.

Destruction

Look at her smile like she’s just the brightest thing ever.

She still at this point can’t grasp what Leftist efforts always wind up with.

Death an destruction...

She’s nothin more than a functioning illiterate.

Solzhenitsyn, in the Gulag Archipelago, said that this was the method used by the zeks to take down trees, since they weren’t given saws or axes.

The professor’s diagram is all wrong. The anarchists all need to stand on one side of the obelisk and pull straight towards themselves.

Disgusting. Alabama’s legislature would just put it back anyway, she wants to make taxpayers foot the bill for that along with risking idiots’ lifes who try to take her advice.

If it fell on someone listening to her, could she be sued?
