Half a Dozen Religious Statues Beheaded in Sudbury [Ontario, Canada]

SUDBURY -- There are currently a dozen statues at Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes property, and all are from the 1950s.

Recently, half of the statues were beheaded by vandals.

“We’re saddened,” said David Sirois, of Diocese of Sault Ste. Marie. "There’s enough volunteers and people who have donated to try and keep this site nice … for the general public. Then when you see damages like that, you wonder who would do that kind of thing?"

Officials found out about the damage a few weeks ago, and say the incident most likely happened in the middle of the night.

“Easier to be here without anyone noticing them easily, so and that’s probably why they were trying to be more quiet at doing it and just grabbing the parts that were easily accessible on the statues,” said Sirois.

He said after hearing about the damage, he immediately contacted Greater Sudbury Police, who said the investigation is ongoing.

“Unfortunately with no video surveillance, and no witnesses at the scene we do not have a suspect at the moment,” said Sarah Kaelas, of Greater Sudbury Police Service.

Looks like the leftist movement is worldwide. All nations(capitalist) should come up with a universal response.

This will stop when those funding it, internationally, are dealt with.

Guess they will move on to living saints when thy run out of statues. To build a Utopia for assholes a lot of good people have to die.

Shaun Kong’s dogwhistle to attack Christian symbols of faith reaches across the northern border. A similar act happened yesterday in Joliet, IL.
