The is just cooperation by the govenrment with the leftists without actively saying they are.

The cops don’t have a drone or two that they could have popped up to see what was happening??

“So where is our resident south bashing gang”

They are keeping their mouths shut and pondering if the Lincoln Memorial is next.

Probably helping to pull the statue down.

The taliban’s work is never done.

Erected in 1913 as a memorial to the Confederate alumni who lost their lives
in the American Civil War and all students who joined the Confederate States
Army. More than one thousand members of the university fought in the American
Civil War in either the Northern or Southern armies, comprising at least 40%
of the student body.

UNC - Chapel Hill is developing a unsavory reputation. Football players pass classes without attending, NCAA violations galore, fabricating “facts,” and more. -

These idiots should go to S. Africa so they can participate in the white genocide there.

Why? They can try it here.

Anytime they’re ready to get froggy...

Typical Marxist behavor

I hope they enjoy the communist utopia they will create here once the younger generation of idiots our public schools created takes over.

“The fault for the mob violence last night rests squarely on the shoulders of the white community”

I agree with your thoughts. The blacks I speak of are the offense. The whites you speak of are the weak and ignorant defense along with powerful socialist forces.

Unfortunately statues and other objects exposed to the public are easy targets for vandalism.

Let’s see what happens when someone vandalizes the Martin Luther King statue.

“... the police personality is a fascist mindset....”

Now, that’s a weird statement!!

elpadre - a former cop in the days we were referred to as “peace officers” and keeping the peace was our job.

“We have such pockets of truly ignorant people in our populace these days, it boggles the mind.”

It further boggles the mind that these pockets of ignorance infest most if not all of our top universities and colleges.

Meanwhile, I’m sure we’ll hear crickets from the vicinity of Chapel Hill as the theft from and genocide of white farmers in South Africa increases.

The story says the cops were there, but they backed off and just kept a watchful eye on the proceedings.

Destroying history is a Marxist tactic. Well done comrades.

Germany has memorials for their World War II dead soldiers, even though they lost the war and were fighting for a bad cause. The memorials are not for Nazism, but for their dead from that war.

overnight in my formerly small city ( now, smaller 25,000)there was a 14 year old arrested for shooting another barely teen in the head with a pistol. Depraved indifference was a secondary charge. That fools who attend a campus of higher learning and get away with this kind of vandalism is reprehensible, tarnishes the reputation of UNC and supports the idea that fascists are doing trash like this all over the US. But not marching against violence committed with guns (for the glorification of gang culture) while disposing of a statue of a confederate soldier who poses no threat is a cowardly act. So is being part of a mob. My city is falling under gang control as the mayor does not want to jail his base.

if UNC wants to be rid of the statue, I would gladly take it and put it in my front yard, where the soldier’s ready rifle and resolute stare will overlook a park with other statues, less offensive to the mindset of higher education students, as a precaution that not all students of history are as weak and imbecilic as the ones at Chapel Hill.

They will be identified and dealt with. Legally. And some.. maybe not so much. This has pushed the limit.

The State Legislature will take action over and above this supposed law loving former Atty General (a-hole lib) who will not advocate prosecution of a State crime— destruction of State property located ON State property.

Next will come certain buildings. This is NOT OK and will not be tolerated anymore. Period.

News from on the ground.

Please do courtesy ping them. They deserve it.

And will forward photos to you for them of the Statue of Stephen Foster (in Pittsburgh, PA) being taken down, because “there is a character in the statue that appears to be a black slave” and for “racists songwriting. The man on the statue is in overhauls has a banjo and is smiling/singing over a sheaf of either tobacco or sugarcane. His features are definitely not black, in any way.

Stephen Foster wrote tunes that were extremely non-PC in the times he wrote them. Notably “Angelina Baker” about a slave romance that was not to be— because Angelina disappears— meaning she was sold. This song was counterculture and performed in the 1850’s by the Christy Minstrels. Very un-PC. But still they tear his statue down.. in Pittsburgh.

This will not stop, until we stop it— because it is ultra communist inspired to destroy US history (under the guise of “race”) to include even Benjamin Franklin. Because of the Founders... and the need to erase all history of the Greatest Constitutional Republic ever conceived and BUILT on the lives of Patriots.

Orwell was correct— and he had commie experience in Spain.

You are correct. Re-load, and stock up. For that time.
