Most of these people are idiots to be honest. Objections with any statue or name should be handled via local government not by force.
As someone who believes that many confederate monuments should be removed --- you hit the nail on the head. I believe that people should petition their local/state government to properly remove these monuments; not have a mob go tear them down. These rioters are so idiotic at this point that they are tearing down statues of people who opposed slavery... even defacing monuments dedicated to black soldiers.
Are we expecting some rational thought process to this mob violence? They have an appetite for destruction, period. When the statues are gone it'll be something else. This ends one way, in a hail of bullets. Lets not pretend otherwise. Today, next week, next month, next year, it ends the same way. They're not going to change and anyone expecting that is beyond naive, you're a god dam fool.
American Taliban. Retards. The new Black Panthers. Just happens that a bunch of em are Leftard whites, too.
The lefties have suckered many people, some here, into believing that this is about removing symbols from the confederacy or statutes of slaveholders back to the beginning of the country. Nope. It is well beyond that. This is about erasing history and the American story- including the good parts of which there are many, duh. Anything that happened back before 1995 or so must be erased. At the clip we are going, there will be calls for a new American flag before long. Meanwhile the lefties have everyone struggling to just keep up with the idea that it is just about removing the confederate flag. Man, y'all are in for some big surprises.
