re: So brave: Protesters at UNC campus tear down 105 year old Confederate statue

Heaven forbid students feel that a statue is distasteful and worthy of removal.

I edited out the rest of your B.S.

Point is, I and many others don't have a problem with the fact that these students want CHANGE, it's their method of taking it upon themselves to do it ignoring current laws and policies. If it were put to a vote and the majority elected to remove it, than so be it. These criminals, evident by the fact that their actions violate the law, should not be rewarded by the same shrug shoulders you mention.

Because of this slow evolution, statues like this have become pure eyesores and out-of-step with today's kids' belief systems. They want them down and I, for one, completely appreciate us progressing as a society.

Because of our inaction to penalize these criminals, they will continue down this path of violence and instant gratification. The fact that you think society is progressing is laughable.
