Woman Caught on Video Destroying Statues Outside Queens Church
NY Post ^ | 7/18/21 | Sam Raskin

A woman yanked down two religious statues outside a Queens church and destroyed them by chucking them into the street in a “heartbreaking” act of vandalism, the church’s pastor said.

The early Saturday morning wrecking spree was caught on video outside Our Lady of Mercy in Forest Hills, where the hammer-wielding suspect hopped a short barrier and began shaking the decades-old statues until they became loose.

The video shows the woman then throwing the figures — one of the Blessed Mother and another of St. Therese the Little Flower — onto the sidewalk and then onto Kessel Street.

The enraged vandal is also seen whacking the statues with her hammer, stomping on them and spitting at the monuments.

The same woman is wanted for knocking over both statues on Wednesday, according to police and church officials. They were not damaged in the prior episode, according to the Diocese of Brooklyn.

The NYPD’s Hate Crimes Unit and the 112th Precinct are investigating the vandalism.

The statues had been outside the church since 1937, according to the church’s pastor and the Diocese of Brooklyn.

This stuff has been happening all across the United States and Canada. Vandalizing and burning churches.

In the 1990’s there was supposedly a wave of black church burning. It was an outrage, rightly so, whoever did it.

Now it is crickets.

Robespierre is back.

Exactly!

They likely know her name, address, etc.

Ping me when she gets charged for a hate crime.

And, of course, no comment on this being a hate crime... Just cool, calm, neutral reporting of her actions which can’t possibly be explained.

This must be a BLMBILMM (”Black Lives Matter But Indigenous Lives Matter Most”) movement, regarding Canadian indigenous peoples’ demands for an apology from the Pope. Several Catholic churches have been burned in Canada recently too.

“Robespierre is back”

It never ends well for the anti-clericals (or anti-religious)

France got Napoleon

Spain got Franco

Portugal got Salazar

It was not black churches burning, some were and some weren’t. It was covered up but mostly Satanists burning the churches.

Every day another example of Jacobin madness.

How long is this going to continue?

I doubt that she is a Muslima by birth - they are trained to lack agency.

Have some compassion for our black sister. After centuries of racism, the white figure, taunting all these year, had to go.

She did the community a service. The racist church shouldn’t have such insensitive objects around. Certainly not next to a tree, you know the white supremacist’s symbol for all blacks to be lynched.

Sarcasm

Regarding the 1990s Black Churches. One such Church was just simply a fire in a nearby dumpster. Another time it was a disgruntled Deacon from his own church. Another time it was a tinderbox Church building which was ultra old and was used for storage. Basically, it was all blown out of proportion to try to scare up outrage when in fact there was no real threat or movement to do any harm to any black Churches. The current assaults on Catholic Churches appears to be another story. There is a lot of hate against Catholic Churches from various factions.

True enough, but the Soviet regime was equally anti religious, but stayed in power for 70 years. The Mexican government was anti-Catholic for several decades in the early 20th Century, and it crushed a rebellion by the Cristeros, a conservative group.
