Exactly 123 years to the day that it was dedicated, the Shaw Memorial, a monument honoring the first all-volunteer black regiment of the Union Army in the Civil War, was defaced by rioters demanding justice for African-Americans.

These protesters are so god-forsakingly ignorant of their own history that they vandalized a monument for black union soldiers! How dumb are these people!?

You didn’t think these BLM losers were going to stop and read all that writing in the wall? They just saw a memorial, assumed it was about white people and then indiscriminately vandalize.

Do we really know if it was black lives matter punks or a bunch of white thug losers? Either way what losers. They should be forced to watch the movie "Glory" which is about Colonel Shaw and the 54th, one of my favorite movies, and then they should be marched out of the theatre to clean up the mess they made.





"Glory" is all about pride, pride for being a part of a brotherhood that is fighting for something better for everyone.



These vandals have no clue about history.

Ever see Penn and Teller getting lefties to sign a petition banning dihydrogen monoxide?

Pretty much a newer version of that except with spray paint.

Who is “ they”?

Were you there when this occurred?

Do you have inf about who vandalized?

There are more agendas on the ground than protestors.

they don't care! they want to steal, kill and destroy, no matter what.


Some probably don't even know the history of that memorial.

When you think this brain trust running rampant through the streets can't sink any further, they unlock the door to another basement and head down.
