You Baton Rouge Dagos need to stop this shite. Columbus is a symbol of Italian-American pride.

I could get behind the idea of toppling Confederate statues in downtown Baton Rouge, but only if one of them is replaced with a likeness of the Junk Yard Dog. It's long overdue.

Columbus monuments are more about italian American contributions to our country than Columbus himself. I don’t understand why people cannot wrap their heads around this.

It’s perfectly okay to mock Italians as a bunch of guidos, gangsters, and cartoon characters saving a princess, but heaven forbid there is a statue that exudes pride. frick all this dumb shite...

Huey Long was crooked as the day is long. He's got to come down.

I'm offended by corruption.

Always thought that statue was Prince Eric from the Little Mermaid.

I'll sign this petition.

Why do these snowflakes act like there was no violence, sickness, or slavery, pre-Columbus? The "native Americans ( ) were murdering and enslaving each other long before any European set foot on this continent. It's what humans do.

Columbus is a true hero. To say otherwise is just liberal nonsense



Also I didn't even know Baton Rouge had a Columbus statue I'm sure so many people are truly offended by it

The people that are cool with confederate and Columbus statues coming down really make me hope that these Neo-Marxists are successful in getting Washington and Jefferson torn down one day too. Would be fricking hilarious
