Nonsense. Leftists are constantly perpetrating real and fake crimes to advance their agenda. Conservatives... pretty much never.

Whoever did this is a vile person.

Well, thank you.
For pegging the act as done by a person and not a whole group.

Thank goodness 99% of liberal democrats aren't crazy like the 1% of extremists out there beheading statues.

Just like I'm thankful that 99% of conservative republicans aren't like the crazy 1% that wear KKK masks and scream "jews will not replace us."

There are crazy people on both sides of the political spectrum. I think most reasonable people are aware of that.

Typical haters.. the radicals want to live up to their name.

Hey Robert Redford - is this the "lack of moral foundation" you're talking about?

Yep, I thought so. Then why aren't you mentioning this stuff specifically. Why are YOU sitting by and letting this happen without pushback?

(Readers: see Redford thread for context)

I don't understand what the rush to judgment is about anyway. Given that it's California, & a Spanish Roman Catholic member of the Franciscan order, later an inquisitor for New Spain, in any region that a regular inquisitor was not named. (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jun%C3%ADpero_Serra - he was a busy priest.)

Given the historical record of the Franciscan orders in the Americas, his work with the inquisition, the attack on Fr. Serra's statue might easily be the work of Native Peoples activists. Glancing through a search of images of vandalized Roman Catholic statues in California, there seems to be quite a collection.

Police work takes time, especially the forensic. & frankly, attacks on statues aren't taken all that seriously by the police, to my knowledge. They typically have more urgent priorities to attend to. Still, if the vandalizers are ideological, they'll continue to attack statues. The police will respond eventually to public pressure to find the culprits - but it may take a while.

Do we actually know who did this? Whoever it was should be punished, but there is no reason to assume the vandal was a liberal until there is some evidence to support that assumption.

Anyone know where that hideous Kathy Griffin is? Sure looks like more of her delightful work.

Not for no reasons, but because they are "Nazis".

What about 'Pizza Gate'? Was that put forth by 'liberals'?
