Baltimore’s 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.

Awaiting MLK’s statues to be vandalized by the LGBT.
Typical liberal thinking....if I recall, Columbus was not a slave holder, he discovered that the Caribe and Arawak Tribes were not peaceful, unless being a guest of honor at a cannibal dinner table (as the main course) is peaceful.
Baltimore seems to have more than its fair share of absolute imbecile low info voters and knee jerk devotees of the latest catchy slogan. No critical thinking here. Just listening to inflammatory rhetoric composed of lies and half-truths, delivered in a preacherly cadence seems to be all it takes to get some knuckle walking idiot to go and destroy a piece of history.
Anyone who knows Baltimore is not the least bit surprised by this type of vandalism. Calling Baltimore “Charm City” is the misnomer of the century.
Bingo! I hereby nominate your comment for the Post of the Day Award.
Getting closer to New York!
How many slaves did Columbus transport to the New World? I think the answer is zero. Now then, how many slaves were sold for export to the New World by those living in Africa” ALL OF THEM. So, why not just return to seller?
One of the best episodes Sopranos.
Just taking that satanic bastard Alinsky at his word ... his disciples are following his lead.
The multikulti retards who broke up this statue barely know who Christopher Columbus was except that he was white
Leftists have been throwing a tantrum since November 8. When will it end?
Erase history. This is starting to resemble Mao’s Cultural Revolution and the Red Guard.
,,,,,, not all residents of B/C support this madness but most probably do . There are a class of folks who claim to be bothered by certain historical facts of life .
Here is the agenda of the Democrats.
The Democrats which are now just an extension of the anti-semitic communist Antifa, WWP and BLM jew haters and all the cult of racist identity politics, the same Democrats most of which SUPPORT NK getting nukes and WANT America to be subjugated...
... subjugated to whom? Why, to the superior cultures of the American Indians. And to the elevated culture of Sharia and the Muslim world. And of course, to the African Somalis who come from a culture of equity and true equality. And of course, the advanced Aztecs from Mexico and the Mayans of Peru and so on.
Basically, if the world did not have white people, there would be utopia. And the white elites of the Democratic Party would have a lot of people voting for them. So we cannot get rid of ALL the whites. For example, Hillary Clinton, she is America’s first black female President in proxy.
,,,,, and it’s not just Chris Columbus ,,, almost any white historical figure may qualify as offensive and that includes people today who voted for DJT are offensive .
Too bad no one from the media ever asked me how I felt about the 8 yrs. of the 0bama admin . Talk about offensive !!!
“,,,,,, please try to remember many citizens of Baltimore City are not civilized yet ,, it takes time.”
All you have to remember is that screwy mayor who, during the riots in Baltimore, stated that the rioters just needed a place to riot in and destroy. I could hardly believe my ears when I heard that....stupid plus.
,,,,,,, we all have to remember that many of the Balt. rioters were bussed in from outside the state supported by actors such as Geo Soros as well as help from then Balt. mayor stephanie rawlings blake and her police dept.
What about the Baltimore statue in Columbus?
