Vance Monument

Two men have been arrested following an attack — involving lighting and throwing improvised explosive devices (similar to pipe bombs) at the remnant (the base) of the Vance Monument in downtown Asheville — amid a crowd mulling around about an hour after the city’s Fourth of July fireworks gala had finished, according to the Asheville Police Department.
However, nobody was hurt and there was reportedly no damage to the monument’s base.
The remainder of the 75-foot-tall granite obelisk monument has been deconstructed by the city and its stone blocks and other parts are being held, reportedly, in secure, undisclosed warehouses for safekeeping by Asheville officials until litigation over the final disposition of the monument ends.

What the Nazis did to the Jews, Democrats are doing to us.
A lot of these extreme leftists are just not right.
“Fortunately, no one was hurt.”
Not no one.
Ashville. There is no clearer example of “californication” than Ashville. Ask 1000 Ashville residents if they were born there and maybe 1 will say yes.
The dimmacrats ARE NAZIs.
Two men? I say they are NOT men. But they are definitely cowards, as are all terrorists.
Give ‘em a sex change operations. How could cowardly leftists object to that? I volunteer to do it. Anyone got a hatchet I can borrow?
Spellcheck is doing irreparable damage to our language. Mulling is something like contemplating but spellcheck doesn’t see context so lazy writers accept and editors overlook and the next thing you know people who are loitering get to be mulling when they should be milling.

Fugate is supposedly a furry... both supposedly carrying anarchist reading material(s).

Asheville’s downtown was up until around 2000. The influx of outside money, tolerance of and increase of homeless people, vast increase of tourists on the streets and whacked out weird people including a plethora of tranny/homo/lesbos has changed what once was an engaging area into a condensed version of a major city. It is not fun to be there anymore.
I went to high school in Asheville in the mid to late 80s. It was probably 90% appalachia and 10% artsy farsty types back then. Now those percentages have been reversed. The place has been overrun by Leftist Yankees who have no appreciation for Asheville’s history and culture. Its all but a colony of New England now. Its disgusting.
I was there in the 70’s. I can’t stand what is happening there now.
Small is actually 6’8” tall and 260 lbs. Fugate is 5’6”.
There are still good people in Asheville. However, the Appalachians have disappeared. The lefties are good people, and fun but with crazy politics. In some neighborhoods, every other house seems to have a BLM poster or a Defund the Police, etc. poster in the front yard.
One of the reasons the Appalachians disappeared is that there are no jobs other than service jobs in the area since America quit making things. The young people who wanted prosperity had to go where the jobs are.
