Rioters tore down a statue of George Washington in Grand Park near Los Angeles City Hall on Thursday evening, the latest monument to fall in the ongoing left-wing demonstrations around the country.
The monument to the first President of the United States was apparently vandalized and draped in the American flag when it was toppled.
Unconfirmed video and images of the tearing down and the aftermath circulated on social media (language warning):
Local CBS affiliate KCAL-9 reported:
Seven people were arrested Thursday night after a statue of George Washington in downtown Los Angeles was defaced and torn from its base, the L.A. Police Department said.
According to initial reports, a group of protesters gathered in Grand Park at about 7 p.m. and defaced the statue, located on Hill Street between Temple and 1st streets, before forcibly removing it from its base.
The statue has stood in the city since 1933, KCAL noted.
In 2017, when asked why he opposed removing Confederate monuments, President Donald Trump said that the left would not stop there, but would soon seek to tear down monuments to American heroes, including George Washington.
“So this week, it’s Robert E. Lee, I noticed that Stonewall Jackson’s coming down. I wonder, is it George Washington next week?” Trump asked. “And is it Thomas Jefferson the week after. You know, you really do have to ask yourself, where does it stop?”
The media mocked Trump at the time for his prediction.

I’m willing to take all those nasty pictures of hated presidents they may be carrying around in their wallets.
Yep - Just the start too unless they get serious pushback.
Material for Trump’s campaign commercials, thank you.
Displaying their hatred for our country and its founding.

Serious pushback at this point would be heads popping.
Wonder if anyone will ask the District Attorney to comment on this?

This crap will continue until the lead flies. And I am strongly in favor of lead flying.
Dead thugs can’t riot.
It has been said 1000 times, They should be pulling down DRUG HOUSES NOT STATUES!!
Force — consistently applied brutal force — is the only thing the terrorists, anarchists and racists on the America/American-hating Democrat/Left understand and respect. It’s about time normal, decent Americans understand, accept and, most importantly, act on this fact.
This vid - that’s been removed from YouTube and FB - explains exactly what and WHY they’re doing this....and, it’s from 1960....

Makes perfect sense. /s
Eerie that he could be that prescient all the way back in 1960.
Tragically, the fact that the video is banned is proof that the revolution is far-advanced.
And as usual, the ahole cops do nothing but stand around with their fingers up their asses.
Maybe they SHOULD be defunded if they’re not going to do their jobs. And have the guts to tell your political masters to screw off. Go rogue.
My exact thoughts.
Eerie, indeed.
