Honestly..

Antifa type people versus hard right loons

Average every day American will get involved when it starts affecting their lives and personal property

It'll start small scale. City wide at first. Then spread slowly.

i agree. but i find your position weird. most who want the removal want so because they are "evil men", so you want to put them in a museum which will be for profit, so people will be making money off the statues instead of them being public property and viewable for free.

id also love for some clarification on where the line is to be drawn on statue removal. as ive already said, all great men in history are really, really, horrible men. Caesar? killed hundreds of thousands and enslaved just as many. alexander the great? same. the founders of damn near every country were horrible men who did horrible things to people. yet here we are, glorifying every single one of them. So, where does the line end? do we forgive julius caesar for his horrible transgressions against the gauls and other "barbarians"? Do we forgive Washington for his slaves?

Someone said during the campaign that we're at risk of becoming a Banana Republic.
It's a sad day in America when you can openly break the law, while filming it. And the cops do nothing.
Arm yourselves and protect your families, because who knows which law they'll decide to ignore tomorrow.

Hitting with shoes is a grave insult in the Muslim world. See the pic from when Saddam's statue was torn down. That is the parallel I was going for.



Or this one aimed at W.

It's not really about the statues. These fools just want to be about something since Trump won. They need to take a bath and get a job.

They act like these statues come to life at midnight. And just start killing minorities. All night just chasing down folks, with their torches and stuff. Just like, hey where are all the darkies at. These people lived god knows how many years ago. Most people don't even know who Robert E Lee was. These idiots need to give this shite a break.

Hmmm is legal for them to do that? I mean that is defacing a historical item, it's no different than me going the Louvre and ripping up the mona lisa because I found out she was a bigot.

What is really sad is that these kids think they are actually doing something that will cause real change. It won't. That is unless the change they want is war.

Rename Washington, both of them.

We need to invent a new language, because English is the language of the oppressors.

They're already doing away with science, because science, it turns out, is racist.

I kinda like living in a developed Western nation, but surely that is just my white male privilege speaking.

There is no place for honoring confederate warriors in public places. Like it or not, they were fighting for turning apart the union and allowing people to be owned as property. That being said, these are works of art that should be preserved. A museum does not have to be set up for profit. It could be free entry. People can put on their hoods and waive the stars and bars and walk in and out at their leisure.

They problem with that demon is that, once loosed, no one can control it and it devours everything in its path.

Who is it that incited their hate....the MSM and the democrats with Obama at the helm needs to stop this insanity-now.

It is ignorance abound. Remember that BLM protester in BR saying she was brought here in chains on boats.
