George Orwell:

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day be day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except the endless present in which the party is always right.

Are you all finally convinced? Can we just start shooting the bastards now? You'd do it to any other vandal. Why give them an exception?

And not a damn thing will be done to those thugs for vandalism and destruction of property.

Sad.

What scares me is that Everytime these Marxist/Maoist make a showing they seem to be significantly more radicalized, I am scared for this country.

So everyone is cool with sitting here and watching the history of the United States erased?

If there is no history of nation then did the nation, the sacrifices of the men that built and fought for it, and it’s ideals and sense of unity ever exist?

BLM is gaining market share in iconoclasm. Right up there with the jihadists.

I’m sure this will be added soon

As an Italian American, I will not do any business in Richmond, VA. Actually, I'll just boycott Virginia as a whole. Old Dominion of Beta NPCs.
