Ahhhhhhhhh, so vandalism and destruction of property is ok when it's lefties doing it?
Thats always been the argument.
The City of New Orleans is removing those monuments, the mayor of Lexington says he's having them removed......just a couple of examples.......I don't have a problem since they want it done legally.
Toppling them - criminal act, period.
I can't agree strongly enough. The supportive reactions in this thread only serve to demonstrate the fundamental disrespect the left has for the rule of law. Take these statues down the right way: without a violent mob.
Well, in the case of NC, the white supremacist-sympathizing state legislature basically told them that they can't take them down at all without their approval (and we all know that will never happen). Not saying I support it, but I can kind of understand how these people feel when their own city governments are being controlled by state-level authoritarians who claim to love "states' rights" and "individual freedom" but don't like it when liberal jurisdictions do things like this.
Sometimes our governments fail us. I can certainly identify with the frustration, but that's what lobbying and protesting is for. If we open the door to acts of vandalism to achieve our desired ends, we're opening Pandora's box.
