Protesters have toppled statues of Russian revolutionary leader Vladimir Lenin in various Ukrainian cities.

Tipped statues are a good metric, sort of like burnt cars in France.

Seattle immediately asked for the statues to be sent there.

I’d love to read about some enterprising person dynamiting at night Lenin’s statue in Seattle.

According to google, the only american media outlet currently reporting on this is the wall street journal. Now I wonder why that is.

They must be crying tears of sandness over this at cnn and msnbc.

I have seen said statue up close.

Considering how big that thing is (more than 20 feet high) and that it’s made of bronze, the amount of dynamite needed to blow it to pieces would also damage businesses and homes around it. It’s located directly in front of a Taco Bell, and any detonation big enough to destroy it would likely take out the front half of the restaurant. Flying shrapnel will also damage houses and apartments nearby.

Not to mention...the area is very well-lit, so anyone trying to destroy it would be immediately noticed.

WAIT! WAIT! Don’t destroy them! The Obama regime will give you good money for them! They want to set them up in all major American cites.

The Fremont district in Seattle can always use a second one.
