So it's okay to tear down a statue but you can't paint mean graffiti on them?

A statue of Martin Luther King Jr. in Southern California was vandalized with a swastika and other "horrific" graffiti that police are investigating as a hate crime, officials said.
Officers from the Long Beach Police Department were called to King Park on Friday around 3:20 p.m. following reports the statue was vandalized with "hate/bias-motivated graffiti," police said.
Officers discovered the graffiti covering the front of the statue, Long Beach police spokesman Richard Mejia said in a statement.
Police did not share a photo of the graffiti but an image posted on Twitter showed a black swastika spray-painted on the statue's chest and SS bolts on a leg.
The SS bolts are "a common white supremacist/neo-Nazi symbol derived from Schutzstaffel (SS) of Nazi Germany," according to the Anti-Defamation League. Swastikas are hate symbols associated with Nazis.

It is unacceptable to me to act in such a manner.
Now what would happen to the people responsible if the world were to find out that it was a hoax and that BLM or their ilk was behind it?
The answer: not a damn thing.

The vandalism.
I am skeptical like many of you.
Even if it was some white supremacist, it’s time people recognize that racists do in fact exist but that the majority of them vote blue.

Only the statue can be racist in this situation. 2020 proved that, statues defaced and toppled because they were racist. However, this is a statue of a black, and we all know the black cannot be racist. So....

They can't have it both ways.
Why do they have a statue of an adulterous wife beater anyway?

Did they call him a homophobe or someone who laughs at rape?
