Protesters vandalized and attempted to take down the Peace Monument in Piedmont Park in Atlanta on Sunday, mistaking it for a pro-Confederate statue.

The protesters were marching in response to the violent protests in Charlottesville, Virginia, on Saturday where one woman died after being deliberately hit by a car, and two law enforcement personnel were killed when the helicopter they were in crashed.

“The Atlanta march traveled from Woodruff Park to Piedmont Park Sunday, where some damaged the Peace Monument, erected in 1911,” a blog on theAtlanta Journal-Constitution website said. “The sculpture features an angel standing above a Confederate soldier, guiding him to lay down his weapon.”

But the memorial attacked by protesters — some dressed in black and wearing masks — was erected to encourage healing and reconciliation:

Oh. Well thanks for striking a blow against hate. Too bad you’re such stupid a-holes, though.

It’s expanding.
It doesn’t stop at Charlottesburg. Their next step is to provoke a violent riot, with firebombs and people killed. It will be in a democrat-run town, such as Baltimore. The media will make it about Trump within about 3 seconds. They will do the same thing to him that they are doing now, but worse.

Let them. The more they clean out the urban concentrations the better.

I don’t think too many people outside of the media and DC give a rat’s a$$.

Another 900,000 plus people turned off cable last quarter and this has been going on for a few years now. There are fewer and fewer of them to be influenced any longer.

The challenge is to meet fire with fire. The sooner that happens the better.

As went the French revolution, so will go the progressives.
They will eat their own.
All their Robespierres will be guillotined.
Then, we’ll take care of them.
And they will wish for the guillotine.

“It doesn’t stop at Charlottesburg. Their next step is to provoke a violent riot,”

I agree. I think Charlottesburg was nothing more than a trial run for something bigger. They needed to get the bugs out of their system.

Yep I’m afraid you are right.This is George Soros’ next color revolution like the other regimes he has brought down over the last several years. At least that’s what he’s trying for. He’s not going to succeed here though and this attempt may be where he himself gets brought down.
