Way to Go: BLM Idiots Vandalize Statue of a Former Slave Outside Black Church in Indiana
Gateway Pundit ^ | July 9, 2020 | Cassandra Fairbanks

Idiotic Black Lives Matter supporters have vandalized a statue of a slave fleeing with her infant daughter outside a black church in New Albany.

The faces on the statue were painted red, similar to what we have seen done to statues of Confederate generals and Christopher Columbus, and tagged with “BLM.” Ironically though, the statue at the nearly 170-year-old Second Baptist Church is of former slave Lucy Higgs Nichols, escaping slavery with her baby.

The church was known for helping slaves who were fleeing during the civil war. Higgs Nichols went on to become a nurse in the Union Army.

The church is now putting up security cameras to keep an eye on the statues and the church itself. A GoFundMe campaign to help has raised nearly $5,000.

“All community donations, just people saying, ‘I want to help,‘” Friends of the Town Clock Church Treasurer Jerry Finn explained to WAVE 3 News. “What it will allow us to do is put cameras in place to monitor the gardens and the church as well.”

Why do journalist think (mistakenly) that racism is the driving force behind BLM?

This is a purely Marxist organization whose goal is the overthrow of the government.

BLM is about the Left’s revolution, not about black lives mattering.

Ignorant and violent. Not a good combination for their future.

They’ll likely be ended by their own and not know why.

They are the American Taliban, they don’t care what the history is, they just want it erased.

Thank You Nimrata Randhawa.

Then why do you suppose these journalists (conservative ones) keep asking, “why doesn’t BLM care about this Black child shot or that slave statue vandalized”?

Walmart has a short message on their site in favor and standing with.. sort of... many CEO’s wrote they are standing with blm... and i want to know... are educated enough to be DEO”s that dumb or are they lying? Either is equally stupid. I mean... dangerously stupid!!

BLM idiots stand in the streets and use microphones to spew their radical idology, (which none of it has earned a hearing)....while leaving a trail of destruction behind them. ....It just shows how badly socialized they are and terribly uneducated.

Exactly! The only cause they have is the cause of anarchy and destruction. There is no reasoning with any of them. They don’t care.
