BOSTON (CBS) – The city of Boston removed the damaged statue of Christopher Columbus from a North End park Thursday morning, a day after it was beheaded by vandals.
quote:
The head of the statue was knocked off early Wednesday morning. Now, as police look for who did it, local indigenous groups are calling on the mayor to remove the statue for good.
quote:
This particular statue has been subject to repeated vandalism here in Boston, and given the conversations that we’re certainly having right now in our city of Boston and throughout the country, we’re also going to take time to assess the historic meaning of this action,” Walsh said Wednesday.

This is so freaking stupid.
There should be hefty penalties for this put into action.

ANTIFA: Beheads a Christopher Columbus statue, declaring him a monster.
Also ANTIFA: Settles a six block plot of land in downtown Seattle and claims it as their own.

The history of this country is going to read like a redacted CIA briefing. black line omissions all over the place to hide indiscretions of the past (only based on the judgement of modern times)

Reminds me of the movie Interstellar where the moon landings were removed from history books, even though people were still alive who personally witnessed the events.

Bigger question probably is why we're still talking about and honoring a guy who wasn't even close to the first to "discover" America at this point.

Well that makes taking his head off perfectly ok then.

He discovered America is what he did! He was a great Italian explorer! And in this house Christopher Columbus is a hero! End of story!
