So, the mayor did the work of the mob so they wouldn’t have to exert themselves.

I'm OK with statues being taken down legally - by process.

I'm not OK with thug rule which is what we're had for the last month. The thugs who took the law into their own hands - will do it again. Next time they might burn down our homes or murder our children.

Antifa is a domestic terrorists group... They have zero respect for our laws or for us.

Wakanda, Ohio...

Polls show two-thirds of Americans support Confederate monuments, so I imagine Columbus and Jefferson, etc. have huge support. Exactly whose will are these local Democratic politicians serving?

Name of city will be changed to: I Can’t Breath, Ohio.

Since the word “ohio” also means ‘good morning’ in Japanese, are folks going to demand that the state be renamed because it is a cultural appropriation from Japan?

So sad. I remember when that statute was donated to the city and erected with great ceremony. Though I was only 5 or 6 at the time, I do remember the event.

I was born and raised in Columbus. It used to be such a nice place. I believe it was one of the first "All American Cities," back when that designation was popular. So much has changed since I left in 1971, I hardly recognize the place. The squalor and deterioration of the areas around downtown are pathetic.
