I wish these people could live in a world where the US never existed. I wish they could then comeback and tell us what it was like. We would not have this problem

I want justice also, lock them all up and have them perform community service repairing the damage.

I saw it in the early 2000s.

Had to kill a few hours waiting on a lawyer appt.

The only other time I braved that hellhole was to rescue a maltreated Argentine Boa that had lived 20 years in a tiny aquarium.

Got in, grabbed him and GFTO there in record time.

He had a happy 5 years and I hope he forgot the previous 20.

Far as I know, still in a coma.

When I first heard the Baltimore leading mayoral candidate Brandon Scott on the radio last week, I almost had to pull my car over from the shock of hearing this guy. He sounded like he was a special ed student. He read his scripted words v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y as though he was not used to speaking at normal speed. And what he had to say was just plain stupid. I am NOT impressed with this cretin. And I’m sure that any of the other candidates, of which I’ve heard nothing, is just as stupid, racist, and corrupt. Therefore, I was not surprised to read that Brandon Scott, Imbecile, came out about this destruction of the Columbus statue saying he wanted it removed anyway. So I guess we can’t look forward to having the statue salvaged and put up somewhere it will be appreciated. You really have to be dumber than a pile of dog poop to get all “exercised” over Columbus or virtually any of the other historical figures now condemned by the history-ignorant little animals pushing them over or defacing them. I blame the public school systems, stuffed with libtard social studies teachers and removing authentic American history from curricula, and I blame universities run by libtard idiots lacking a teaspoon of common sense. I have no respect for the corporations acting like the Keystone Kops running into each other in their frenzy to virtue signal and I absolutely spit on sports teams kneeling and groveling-—to WHO? We’ve had the virtual canonization of common criminals dying in the act of resisting arrest, many of them from pre-existing health problems, police departments defunded, schools now bereft of the only enforcers of safety and security they have. This is not going to end well. If you thought COVID was bad, how about all these brain dead history ignorant Soros-paid morons chipping away at our history and trying to take over the government while dummocrap libtard mayors stand there clapping their idiot hands?

Don’t even say it. You just scared the hell out of me with the great Enoch Pratt Library in midtown.

Broken to pieces actually. Probably easier to have a new one carved using reference photographs.

I have written in posts to other articles that the empty pedestals should be left standing, covered with graffiti and all, as a mark of shame for what was done and a reminder of what happens when politicians get too “woke.”

Oddly, I considered that more dangerous than dodging traffic to grab a box turtle off the road.

:D

I agree completely.

Rose Hill is still okay although the gates were locked tonight when they normally would not be.

"Don’t even say it.

You know the libraries are next. First it was banning books
like Tom Sawyer. But that's not enough.
These 21st century barbarian misfits want to
burn them down. Reading, writing and technology and
literacy, that's the white man's oppression.

Churches are on the list as well as museums.
They're coming up next for destruction.

The terrorists who dropped the statue on his head should be charged with attempted manslaughter.

Somehow, I doubt a single one of them feels one iota of guilt, let alone responsibility.

This is Little Italy, east of the harbor everyone thinks of. I doubt it was in the Inner Harbor proper.

The monument is right next to about the last pier to the east, so the pieces were probably just dragged the few feet to that edge and dropped in.
