Statues can’t fight back. Easy targets. Doesn’t matter what they represent. It’s nothing to do with a cause. It’s simply wanton savagery.

It’s basically them saying, “If you want us to stop, you’d better not re-elect Trump”.

Oh okay - I understand now. Not approve - just understand.....Just one more target for today’s Marxists.

Great book. Let’s just be glad they don’t have book burning fire engines that shoot flaming torches instead of water. But, that brings up an idea. In other places around the world, you often see water cannons used against protesters. That would be fun.

Next? There is a torched church In Washington DC, and a downed statue of a Catholic saint out West. You are a little behind the curve.

Well, they did not burn down the Cathedral of Notre Dame. They just used it for farm animals.

Only one way to enforce laws, and that is to actually enforce the laws. Only then will the crime be mitigated.

The optics will be horrible but the outcome will be necessary

Start enforcing the laws systematically and low key. Start with smaller D.C. defacers, go in and take their spray paint or hammer, handcuff them, process them and charge them. Word will get out and many of the White kids out for a party will go home leaving the ANTIFA, the kooks, and the haters to round up next.

Mine area around monuments with bear spray clusters makes it easier to follow their trail.

It wont be the last, that one is a precursor. The Left wants an Iron boot narrative. I think they’re overreaching, because if it happens it goes all the way.

Could we just round up Geo. Soros here (since he has the deep pockets) & force him to pay all the damages caused by his minions? I know some would say this doesn’t seem fair, but in court cases where there may be shared responsibility, don’t they usually go after the ones with the deep pockets? While he may not be directly responsible for everything that has gone on(the riots, lootings, property damage, etc.)might he not have enough influence & money to put a stop to most of it? Nothing else seems to have worked so far.

What’s next?
* Violent attacks on Christians, Jews, Churches, Synagogues
* Burning and bombing of famous historic landmarks
* Banned movies
* Book burnings
* Attacks on execs of insufficiently woke company execs. Probably executions.
