I think the protestors are upset at those difficult history exams.

“Who is buried in Grant’s tomb?”

Bastards!
Thats my favorite spot in GG park. On the left the Academy of Science, on the right the Art museum. At the other end is the bandstand.
A nice little zone of culture.
We used to take the kids there every other weekend or so.
They would climb up on Don Quixote and Sanch Panza (who look up at their creator).
I am here now, 10,000 miles away, and not there.
If I were there that night - it would have been a good night to die, as a man must.

Statue of Liberty will be attacked at some point.

How long before San Francisco changes its name?

Proposed new names:

Castropolis
Milktown
Willieville
New Karl Marx Stadt

Hope Trump wins in a landslide. If there’s a silver lining at all, it’s that these activists are turning more and more voters against them (hopefully).

no telling.

Cervantes lived largely impoverished, was a soldier, was captured and enslaved by Barbary pirates for 5 years, and is “ widely regarded as the greatest writer in the Spanish language, and one of the world’s pre-eminent novelists. He is best known for Don Quixote...” (wiki) So he fits all the BLM criteria as a victim class.

Where are the people responsible for the caretaking of these works of art and why didn’t they remove them safely before being destroyed?

Why are they not being defended. There is a group of people bent on revolution.

I walked through that section of GG Park yesterday (Thursday). I admit that the thought occurred to me that those statues were not long for this world. But I didn’t expect them to come down in 24 hours. God help us.

Seems to be a political waiting game.

The statues can be replaced. Hopefully that will happen once the corporate #MeToo shenanigans come to an end.

I wonder what would happen if we got together and pulled down the ugly, shapeless, commie ‘art’ statues erected for the last 50 years?

FRiend, if we need to point out that Lincoln's pick to command the Union army was not a confederate, education failed us much earlier than we thought.
We can almost understand that with liberals but you'd expect a higher standard here.

All future statues, including those of President Trump, should be holographic and thus untoppleable.
