A crowd of shouting protesters yanked down the Christopher Columbus statue near Little Italy, dragged it to the edge of Baltimore's Inner Harbor and rolled it with a splash into the water as fireworks went off around the city on the night of the Fourth of July.

Dedicated in 1984, the statue is the latest monument in the U.S. to fall this year during the national reckoning over racism and police violence that also has toppled statues of Confederate figures and enslavers around the country.....

Portland is the pattern. Leftist mayors will order police to stand down until the feds must be brought in.

The government is not going to protect the people. American patriots will have to defend themselves.

Same with the NBA and Trump critics like Lebron James who makes a fortune off the slave labor in China making his effin sneakers. I wish Trump would mention that. The NBA walks around wearing BLM shirts, meanwhile they are doing business with a country that is committing genocide

I guess defunding the police won’t make a difference.

We lived in a mafia retirement city for a while. If there was a problem (such as drug dealing...) in the neighborhood or community, someone would get a visit, and the problem would go away.

For some reason the “authorities” think that allowing this pure, hate motivated destruction of private and public property is somehow ok.

They probably also imagine that they will remain in authority.

Capital idea... If you truly hate American, why not do what the American Colonization Society did back in 1817 and go to Africa and live in Liberia... The country created by freed American slaves?

This time though, we should also offer transport to the white American haters, so they can go somewhere else to live.

Then they can step on this familiar flag when they get angry...

Where is Tony Soprano when you need him?

Tony Soprano had little to no sway in Baltimore.

I think you meant to write, "Where are the Pelosis and the D'AD’Alesandros? Oh, they moved out to the Sh1tty by the Bay?

Tony Soprano was from New Jersey.

Baltimore was destroyed and is continuing to be destroyed by Africans that got their corruption genes in Ivory Coast or Liberia.
