Baltimores 225-year-old monument to Christopher Columbus, said to be the oldest in the country and the world dedicated to the explorer that is still standing, has been severely vandalized.
A video posted today shows someone smashing the inscription at the base of the 44-foot-tall obelisk located at the intersection of Harford Road and Walther Avenue, across from Herring Run Park.
This morning the words on the statue Sacred to the Memory of Chris. Columbus Oct. XII MDCC VIIIC were unreadable, a hole smashed in the stone. Racism: Tear it down, one sign leaning on the monument base says. The future is racial and economic justice, said another sign that was lying in the grass. The vandalism comes in the wake of intense controversy, across the country and in Baltimore, over monuments to the Confederacy and the city-ordered removal of four Confederate-related monuments last week.

Against the World @DesideraVeritas More Replying to @jmood88 @kjbert and 5 others Lincoln signed into law the emancipation of slaves and they destroyed his bust. Your argument is tenuous.

Christopher Columbus? Really?
Do these idiots even know the history of the people whose remembrances they are demolishing? Probably not. Another horrendous failure of public schools. Millenials appear to be largely mindless with an irrational hatred of sculpture.

Hey Jackass!!!
Black youth have no trouble voicing their 'opinions' by slaughtering each other. Black lives matter? Not in Chicongo, they don't.

She was white, therefore she was racist.
She was Christian, therefore she was racist.
She was riding a horse, therefore she was racist.
Her flag was white and gold, symbolizing the white racist race stealing all the world’s wealth and oppressing Persons of Color.

While city officials would not confirm the authenticity of the photo or the clean-up, CBS2 reporter Crystal Cruz saw red paint on Serras arm and a swastika on the statue of the child standing next to him.
The photo comes at a time when many are calling for the removal of controversial statues. Some argue Serra is not the saint the Catholic Church paints him out to be. Instead, they claim he used California Indians and destroyed part of their culture.

Basically the statue of anyone born before 1900 is in jeopardy.
