A crowd of shouting protesters yanked down the Christopher Columbus statue near Little Italy, dragged it to the edge of Baltimore's Inner Harbor and rolled it with a splash into the water as fireworks went off around the city on the night of the Fourth of July.

Dedicated in 1984, the statue is the latest monument in the U.S. to fall this year during the national reckoning over racism and police violence that also has toppled statues of Confederate figures and enslavers around the country.....

breakdown in law and order deliberately allowed and orchestrated by the Socialist party governors mayors and bureaucrats. Deep state FBI and CIA, DHS is in on it as an extension of the trump coup

Black on white racism designed to demoralize the middle class successful people and destabilize capitalism using terrorism.

I thought terrorism was illegal.

It’s Baltimore... what did you expect?

Statue erected in 1984, Long after Pelosi’s father left office.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

the city government and the police did nothing

Doesn't that make the cops complicit in the crime?

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Leftist mayors will order police to stand down until the feds must be brought in.

The sanctuary city mayors should all be arrested and taken into custody as well as the RAT city council members and any other immigration law violators.

Then they need to drill down, even past the current chiefs of police if necessary, until they find some decent leadership for the cops. Then let them do their job.

I seem to recall that Baltimore had an Italian protection group so destructive events like this were punished if not stopped.

Why do I expect this is the one time the EPA won’t bring the wrath of God down on people for polluting a waterway?

[bwsears]

Well... guess its time to head to the grocery store and bust some bottles of Stubs BBQ sauce.

[Eleutheria5]

Causing a hazard to shipping, too.

[TwelveOfTwenty]

Need to ID all who were involved & thrown in jail for 10 years for all this to STOP!!!!

Good luck finding a jury that will convict in any courthouse where that trial would be held.

OMG! That is outrageous.

I think someone should give them (the protestors) an offer they can’t refuse.
