I truly hate these people. I also despise so-called leaders for allowing this to happen.

The monument in Boston to the 54th Mass. which was a black regiment that served with distinction at Fort Wagner was defaced, they don’t care what it is, they just want to tear down ALL history, just like communists and the Taliban.

They also need to change the name of Columbus Ohio, as well as the District of Columbia. Columbia University needs a new name as well.

Not “just like” communists.

They ARE communists using communist tactics.

Absolutely disgusting. The perps should be thrown into the lake, sans life preservers.

But were they peaceful protesters? Remember that idiot reporter in Minneapolis said that, except for the burning buildings in the area , the protesters were actually very peaceful.

So perhaps they were peaceful except for them tearing down the statue. I look forward to the mainstream Media news coverage of this event.

The Governor Of Virginia was caught making fun of Americans of African Descent by wearing blackface, but they’re OK with him because he is a Democrat?

Tell them Columbus was a Democrat.

They set the statue on fire? Well that explains why they threw it in the lake so they could put out the fire.

WHAT?!?!?`??????

That’s MY and my family and friends’ big day. We celebrate it and will keep celebrating it.

Now I have to unfortunately pay attention to what’s going on in Columbus Circle because if anything happens, I’m going there.

Now I finally know how the southerners feel.

I will risk my life to defend it if necessary.

We WOPs don’t go for this crap.

Then there’s that big river that flows right through Portland, OR - the Columbia.

Washington, Jefferson, Madison and Lincoln next.
They will be attempting to bomb the Washington Monument soon.

CW II is really starting to heat up.

Yes, yes the are the communists.

On FB today, there was an article on the Jacksonville’s newspaper FB site about tearing down statues.

I commented that I haven’t seen history being erased with such vigor since the Russian Revolution. I doubt many people even understood what I wrote.

While many of us Native Americans/Amer-Indians are “not overly fond of” Columbus (And celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving on “that holiday”), I DESPISE the sort of people who would do such an act of NEEDLESS VANDALISM. = This sort of CRIME just has to STOP & SOONER, rather than later.

IMO, they DESERVE a good horse-whipping, followed by a lengthy prison stay at hard labor AND be required to repay the cost to the public for repairing their criminal act..

Yours, TMN78247
