The number of people who want to willfully and happily censor and erase history because it offends them is astounding.

I don’t understand, did the police cone and then just leave?

According to fibber Wray, the antifa people aren’t organized. They’re just an idea.

How many statues and monuments being torn down or destroyed by protestors are being restored? From what I can tell none, certainly not here in NC. To recap:

1). Protestors tear down public property. Police do not stop them.

2). In most cases no arrests at the direction of local officials.

3). Even if there are arrests, charges are dropped.

4). In some cases local official, and even governors (Roy Cooper NC) are removing statues and monuments on their own authority for “public safety”.

5). The public at large is accepting the destruction quietly. Protests by citizens are few and attributed by the media to right wing racist extremists. Most citizens appear to be accepting the new status quo meekly and continue to go about their business without complaining. As a result government officials are becoming fully aligned with the left, its agenda, and its violence.

6). In a few weeks between 48 and 50% of the electorate will vote for a cadaver and a woman who slept her way into political office. Qualifications do not matter. Half the nation does not even have minimal standards for elected officials.

7). The left is winning.

And once again, the compliant and complicit police let it happen.

Protesters pulled down a controversial war monument in the heart of the Santa Fe Plaza Monday afternoon during [...]

Because uncontroversial monuments are rarely pulled down by violent mobs.

Damn glad I don’t live in SF.

And why taxpayers there are paying for a PD is beyond me.

“That is not how we do things in Santa Fe.”

Apparently it is.

Police must really be proud of their profession these days.

[Gene Eric]

They’re vandals — astonishing this is acceptable

[golux]

Silly, thoughtless comrades!


Obelisks were a wrong turn. Don't you know that monuments, if removed with care, can be repurposed as building materials and, with items such as headstones, for walkways?


Must I remind you?


The traditional progression is from statues of people to people.

Temper tantrums against inanimate objects.

They’re not ready for the fight they’re picking

They threw a rope around it. Cheers and applause of everyone to tear it down. A lot of cop cars came quickly into town. A lot do them. Within ten minutes they left and disappeared,"

City cops ARE the enemy, just as much as blamtifa.

[VanShuyten]

“... the plaza’s status as a National Historic Landmark...”

Does that make this destruction a federal crime?
