>> an example of people not really having any real or serious problems.

That would be the parents that failed to rear these assholes.

For a town named Chapel Hill, they sure have a lot of leftists in it.

I know of a town with a Civil War Statue and that town would protect it with any and ALL means!

I wonder if the “protesters” were paid Soros shills.

Tearing something down is easy.

Now you understand why Jesse Helms once said “ If North Carolina needs a state zoo, we will just put a fence around Chapel Hill!”

This plus cleansing history books...history in the U.S.may start like 1963 or so.

Around 9 p.m., protesters left the base of “Silent Sam” and marched to Franklin Street, where they formed a large circle in the street, briefly blocking the intersection of Franklin and Columbia.

The last time protestors did that in the 60s, the cars just ran over them ...

This is an example of people not really having any real or serious problems.

These people ARE the real and serious problem.

The police were there watching the statue being torn from it’s base. According to reports, they were told not to interfere.

Interesting There is a riot at “Peace and Justice Plaza”, and the police are ordered to stand down. Just like Krystalnacht in 1938. Same mentality. Same politics. Same intent. Same tactics. Same outcome.

Now black kids in North Carolina will finally be able to read at grade level.

Why is the fence not there?

TBH, I’d be willing to instantly expel entire class years to clean up this mess. Then offer a reward that incentivizes them to turn on the involved individuals. Finally, have the guilty parties pay for the restoration of the statue.

What’s a “Silent Sam”?

A statue of a Confederate soldier that stood on the campus of UNC. According to Wikipedia it's 'silent' because it doesn't have a cartridge box and therefore could not fire its rifle.

Ironically, the statue was created by a Canadian and the model was from Boston.

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

You have no idea how far UNC has fallen into the herd mentality. There are many herds. They need to teach people to think and gather facts rather than all the emotional indoctrination.

PS I live in Chapel Hill!!!

Certain blacks think they “achieve equality” by going to war with, well, it boils down to whites. They think they can achieve equality by erasing or having America apologize for their mistreatment a hundred or so years ago.

Lots of luck, guys.

Civilized blacks that get skills and don’t pick fights and appreciate the good things present in America will do just fine.
