Let them huff and puff. We can always make more statues.

We are all picking sides now. Our side is still waiting it out hoping to avoid what seems inevitable. Hence the anarchists only see that it is they who will fight. The result being they sense no consequences for their actions.

Add to that the simple fact there actually are negligible consequences and there is nothing stopping them. President Trump is handling it in DC and Barr is working some federal charges here and there but if it takes 3+ years like the coup-plotters, the Country will be done by then.

The outcome will be, I’m afraid, that it will be us who stop it.

I am waiting for a statue to fall on the idiots who are pulling it down. Kind of like stepping on a cockroach. SPLAT!

Strange but true, someone in Philly who was blowing up ATMs to get cash was killed by one of his bombing attempts

And it doesn’t make the national news cycle

I find it interesting, and frankly quite disgusting, that in Seattle there’s a statue of Vladimir Lenin.

He’s only the person who laid the groundwork for the most murderous regimes in human history. From him to Stalin, to Mao, to Hitler, to Pohl Pot, to the Kims of North Korea to Mugabbe and then to far too many tinpot dicatators over the years who excelled at murdering their own people.

He laid the groundwork for the extermination of more than 100 million people in a single century.

Disgusting.

If I remember correctly the Lenin statue is private property displayed on private property. The city of Seattle is not involved with it.

I believe the Taliban has a history of destroying statues and artwork.

That happened with one of the confederate statues a few weeks ago. Don’t think the guy died, but he got a serious head injury.

However there are many, many well armed, rational Americans who will protect and defend.

I don't know whether to laugh out loud at this statement or cry at the absurdity of it. It isn't going to happen.

I didn’t get as far as your post, but had already posted about how disgusting it is to have a statue in Seattle that commemorates the man who laid the groundwork for the most despicable and murderous regimes in human history.

Actually, it says A LOT about Seattle’s political leadership.

My wife and I were watching the rioters live on TV with tje statue in Portsmouth, VA being damaged. My wife said, and I quote... “I would like to see that statue fall on a rioters head”. Moments later, it happened.

It does.
But why is it still standing?
Is Aunt Teefa guarding it?
My meme was to generate action.
If statues are being razed, one is as good as another.
Regardless of ideology.
