yeah it is and if they try to take down the Columbus statue in Manhattan, I will be there and i will be one angry WOP

They won’t chop the head off as it is 75 feet high.

They want to paint a street on staten island with the words black lives matter.

And now the Columbus statues.

Everything comes in 3s they say so i’m waiting for the next piece of news that will raise my BP even higher :)

I saw it already and believe I had the reaction you would think I had.

The Columbus statue in Manhattan is 75 feet tall and weight God only knows how much.

But they can still deface it.

And de blasio said it wouldn’t be taken down. If he changes his mind hell will rain down in columbus circle

Cause I’ve had it.

During the French revolution,the sans-culottes would go looking for aristocrats to behead,and on occasion they would go to a particular chateau,only to find that the resident Duc was deceased.They would then drag the statue of said upper crust individual back to Paris and put it into the guillotine.All we are missing here is the committee of public safety

They have a problem with Europeans stopping human sacrifice and cannibalism and trying to bring a stone age people into the modern world.

Yet they have no problem with the slaughter of over a million in 1861-1865 over slavery.

One of the things done when trying to overthrow a society is to remove the reminders of the past - statues, monuments, named facilities, etc.
Beware of what is being done here.

WTF !!???

Does everyone go to sleep at midnight in America ?

These things are done in the night.

Does that mean we have evil doers in the ranks of those that should be protecting us and THEY are pulling this shit off in the wee hours ?

Have y'all been SO terrorized you think being vigilant makes you a dreaded vigilante and you're not going to be labeled that .... you're a PATRIOT ?

Two things :

Protests following the death of George Floyd have included efforts to topple or remove statues that are considered to be representative of slavery or colonial oppression.

On Tuesday night, another statue of Columbus was torn down and thrown in a lake in Richmond, Virginia.
