what does that even mean? Did you think he was saying the Charlottesville City Council was composed on non-citizens when they voted in favor of removing it?
As for the Lincoln Memorial, I hope the perpetrator is swiftly brought to justice. This act was a disgrace by whoever committed it.
It means the city authorized the removal of the statue. No city has authorized random citizens to come along tie rope to statues and physically pull them down, endangering the safety of others. Its pretty simple.
Nope, typical righty move to pretend that they responded to something different than they responded to. The comment I quoted was in response to a post that EXPLICITLY referenced Cville, not Durham.
I'm fully on the record here saying I disagreed with the actions in Durham. Go check that thread.
The Lincoln Memorial has been hit before. Pretty hard to protect. The present stuff looks like tagging. Dumb teenager stuff.
Possibly, but my point here is that the people doing these things set what others see as a standard. People are going to start thinking that its their right to freedom of speech or right to protest if they "just" want to deface public property that they disagree with.
This is the problem with the violent and unauthorized citizen removal of statues, it creates an environment of anarchy. We have laws, rules, and governments for a reason
I doubt any one here disagrees with that statement.
Ditto violent protests of legally-authorized removal of statues.
