I wonder...has there been much attention paid to how skateboards are used as weapons, and how they’re used to break store windows as a prelude to arson?

The mob knows if it can be destructive, aggressive, and demanding enough, pathetic Dem politicians will give them their every desire. They’ll be allowed to destroy historical artifacts and attack people and businesses to their heart’s content and still be called “peaceful protestors.”

Americans not with this better stand up/wake up.

"Protests against Anglos, Columbus (Italian), now against Spanish historical figures. What’s next? French? Portuguese? Vikings?"

Lakota protests against the Ojibwa?

Shawnee protests against the Cherokee?

Comanche protests against the Apache?

The left has already decided some people’s lives matter far more than other people’s lives. They’ve made that clear over and over. Self-defense is no longer a justification for anyone whom the left has already dehumanized.




Exactly, so how to we defend ourselves? This is going to get to a point where real hell is going to break loose.

So, New Mexican crazies are now against Hispanic historical figures? Who are these insane people? Is it only woke white liberals who count as New Mexican?

The tyranny of these protesters is like revolutionaries of past ages. Maybe their next step will to erect statues of their violent patron saints.

Here’s what I got. To Native Americans, Oñate is known for having ordered the right feet cut off of 24 captive tribal warriors following the murder of his nephew. The dispute came when Oñate’s men demanded food from the Acoma Pueblo. The Acoma needed the food for the coming winter and they fought Oñate’s men, killing his nephew. This dispute escalated and ended with 800-1000 Ácoma massacred in the siege of the pueblo, and the 500 survivors were put on trial and sentenced by Oñate. All men and women older than 12 were enslaved for 20 years. In addition, men older than 25 (24 individuals) had one foot amputated. This revenge earned him the hatred of him today.

Afterwards, he engaged in significant exploration expeditions which gained much valuable information about the region. After his last expedition, he was tried for his brutal treatment of the Ácoma; which banished him from the New Mexico territory. He returned to Spain where he was appointed the head of all mining inspectors in Spain.

And so they put up a statue in his honor in NM?

"...there is no space for violence...no matter who strikes first."

The Governor is wrong and un-American. "Who strikes first" does matter.

“the leftist mobs are going crazy destroying history, something that usually only happens when a country is conquered by a foreign army or within from an insurrection designed to obliterate the current country.”

I heard only accented voices. The “foreign army” is one we allowed in!

No Leif Erikson Statue is safe.

What about mythical Native land conquering tree killers like Paul Bunyan?
