CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Protesters on Monday night toppled the controversial "Silent Sam" statue on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. More than 300 protesters first gathered at the Peace and Justice Plaza at about 7 p.m., before marching to the base of the statue, calling for its removal. By 9:30 p.m., the statue was on the ground and the crowd was cheering. "Silent Sam" had been standing on the UNC campus since 1913.


Thanks New Orleans and Nikki Haley

Why have they not been arrested? Is that not a crime?

If I tore down a MLK statue I would be thrown in jail and called a racist.

That ugly fricking sneer on their faces is appalling to me. Any guesses on how this trash even got into UNC? Hard to imagine it was earned. Affirmative action relying POS while touting racism, frickkkkkkkk offf

So if a small minority disagrees with something, they are justified in its destruction?


Time to fire up the KILLDOZER





They are gonna start a war they really don’t understand.

Why are these people not arrested on sight?

They should build a bigger statue. This appeasement shite will only empower these people to take it many steps further.

I know. It's almost like they are anonymously venting their rage behind a keyboard.

Orrrr, it’s even more like a bunch of kids going along with the crown just to show that they’re not racist or something. Let’s be real. None of those kids have any real conviction.
