A statue of George Washington that stood on the lawn of the German American Society in Northeast Portland was toppled by protesters Thursday night as demonstrations continue following the killing of George Floyd, local KATU reports.

A U.S. flag was seen burning at the head of the statue of the first U.S. president before it was pulled down by protesters using a rope.

Meanwhile, thousands of Americans have signed a petition to remove a statue depicting President Abraham Lincoln standing over a freed slave in Boston’s Park Square, as a national movement to remove historical monuments some consider to be racially insensitive has gained traction following the death of Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police.

Big scrub prog says no big deal. We never promised to stop at confederate statues.

He doesn’t really believe that. There’s little parts of his heart that are a bit frightened at where we’re headed. He just won’t admit it to you and me.

He never should have chopped down that damned cherry tree.

Who are these idiots? If they are injuns, let them come forward. If these are soy whites, let them put their heads in a noose.

We can't overly concern ourselves with what Democrat-controlled cities allow to happen - it's done with their tacit approval in order to foster a Revolutionary Spirit on a national scale. They think it will help defeat Trump.

They think it will inspire their base and intimidate their political enemies. No more. These are Nazi and Bolshevik tactics that American Left are now using.

It's clear where this country is headed if the Dems ever get complete control of FedGov.

Perhaps it was a Black Cherry tree?

How can any rational American think this is acceptable?

I have to think this is driving many independents and moderates away from the left.

This is so insane!

Do they ask themselves, blacks and whites, where they would be without the courage and bravery of our foundering fathers and the men who entered into a war they were told couldn't win for the freedoms they are expressing today?

It sickens me to see what is happening in an effort to disgrace all the men and women of history who made this country the best in the world.

If it is so dam bad here, GTFO!

I hope they go further.

The pushback, at the voting booth and possibly much more, is coming.

I come in peace. Didn’t want to start a thread of course, but heard rumor that you guys were going to have to change name of your library? All of this cancel culture is BS BTW. Didn’t see you guys discussing it.

They want communism. Not democracy.

For some reason they think they will be in the chosen class. Probably because they have never read a history book.
