    Protesters decide to take the law into their own hands and rip down a Confederate statue.
    Video at the link. Hopefully, they'll get the book thrown at them for this.

    I have to ask what the urgency is all of a sudden to topple Confederate statues? Like it or not, this is American history, and those statues are there to teach a lesson, more as a cautionary tale in most cases.

    How was this monument a cautionary tale any more than its removal will be?

    Yeah, this is bullshit. It's one thing for a city to decide to take it down. It's another thing entirely for a bunch of assholes to take it upon themselves.

    Assholes? These are negro freedom fighters, battling the forces of oppression and institutionalized racism.

    This is no different than Palpatine's statue being toppled by the citizens of Coruscant.

    It's a monument to fallen soldiers, misguided soldiers, yes, one could argue that their rememberance could be used as a cautionary example of of what happens when Americans go to war with each other.

    Antifa only sees these statues in the most basic of symbologies. It's a statue of someone their professors have deemed problematic, so it must be a symbol of hatred.

    The cautionary tale of it's toppling will be not to destroy public property, for it is a crime and you will be arrested.

    I dunno, but any single one of those Confederate soldiers had more balls than you've ever licked.

    :wtf:

    In what way were any of these statues used as a cautionary tale?

    Is there a plaque in the statute that says, "Don't be an asshole like these guys"?

    Statues of you would be a start. We could put one in every school as an example to the kiddies.

    Listen.....

    Don't lie.

    None of these statues have ever served as a cautionary tale. None of them.

    You hurt your own arguments when you support silly nonsense like this.

    I read your posts and suddenly that euthanasia thing Hitler was doing suddenly looks attractive.

    I know some people complain my posts are crap but I do believe you're the first person to say you want to euthanize yourself like Hitler did because of something I posted.

    Such statues should only be taken down through legal means, not vigilantism.

    "Anti-Fascist" means Antifa and, yes, every member should be shot on sight just like Vanguard or the other neo-Nazis.

    Every second they draw breath is an offense to humanity. All that is needed is heads, spikes, and walls.

    I fully expect violence and this only feeds the narrative. People should sit back and relax before we end up with car bombs.

    This weekend a Nazi drove a car into a bunch of people, killing a woman and injuring over a dozen people on top of that. That's the current high water mark for ugliness here, not anything that happens to inanimate lumps of concrete or metal. :brood:



    Oh, and for the rest of you that are so concerned about said statue, we can see exactly how upset you were when a human life that was taken two days ago. Is that a contrast that's making you feel proud right now? :chris:

    damn! Did they beat the toppled statue with shoes like in Iraq? If so, that brings back some memories, except the shoes are different!
