There's certainly videos of the action, and certainly a number of leaders and members of the mob are well-known to the local cops and to school security officers.
Isn't there ANYONE in this town to file complaints....or is it Chicken Hill, North Carolina? Pick out a select few perps, throw the book at 'em and send 'em to the town hoosegow for as long as the law allows.
This is the height of approval of criminal vandalism, insane absurdity....and dereliction of duty on the part of law enforcement.

I suppose the confederate leaders were pro-slavery and since they are legitimate part of American history, their statues belong in Museums, not on streets.
When I visited Berlin and other cities in Germany, I do not recall seeing a single statue of Hitler on the streets. But the German museums have plenty of Hitler’s history. I walked all over Rome and do not recall seeing any statues of Mussolini in the streets either.
However the removal of any public statue should not be done by a mob. It should be processed by the local authorities in an orderly manner.
A public display of any historical figure in a street statue should match the current political philosophy of the country. Just my honest opinion.
