California is being colonized by Mexican Indians who do not appreciate the Spanish mission history.

True story.

Once upon a time, VFW members saw their flags and monuments defaced. So the vets set up a night ambush. The vandals were caught. Broken and bloodied, the vandals (teen punks) were turned over to the sheriff.

They were sentenced to cleaning up and caring for the VFW monuments. The vandalism never happened again.

Good suggestion.

Can you imagine how many Catholic statues there would be to take care of if the vandals were caught and the same sentence applied? LOL!

Perps = Homoz and atheists, commies, Fake Indians.

I disbelieve the notion that ACTUAL native-Americans did this (and I don't pretend to be native-American).

I think most of this garbage is false flag and hoaxes set up by the usual radical groups who are mostly tied to Soros. As we see more of this,the media hypes it,it sets off chain reactions and copycats by more “mainstream” people and it triggers more hysteria. This is rules for radicals,community organizing and all the other radical BS 101.

Why aren’t the following statutes being torn down:

Woodrow Wilson—vicious racist president who forceably segregated the US armed forces (unsegregated since the civil war)

Franklin Roosevelt—Admirer of fascist dictator Mussolini, gave a ticker tape parade to Mussolini’s fascist Air Force head. Quoted many times favorably talking about Mussolini and his fascist economics.

John F. Kennedy. Admirer of Hitler.

The vandalism has been nothing less than deliberate provocations.

It IS Kalifornia. Are they speaking of St. Jerry or Ste. Nancy or St. Bernie? Perhaps Ste. Hitlery.

Who needs a Spanish statue? Ah, yes, Mexicans are Indians and Spanish Catholics uplifted them and destroyed their “culture” and languages. Sad part is that every place the Spanish touched is a 3rd world cesspool. They are failed colonies, now failed countries. Every one of them. Something about the mix of Spanish culture and Catholicism maybe?

How about Henry Ford and his connection with Nazis? Maybe we should get rid of or rename our Fords?

Great question. How did the French colonies fare? Think Haiti. Anglo colonies mostly succeeded. Was Catholicism a factor in English colonization?
