Defacing statues is a peaceful protest and Patriotic.

Why is the left all of a sudden flip flopping on the idea of peaceful protests?

I guess they flip flop when it hit closer to their own backyards?

If the destruction of statues is okay, then it's okay 100% of the time.

They are hypocrites.

It's just a peaceful and Patriotic protest. We should applaud that.

Mind you, these same people who are ok with confederate statues never support building statues of civil rights icons.

These people were more than merely slave owners. Not all of the statues were even of slave owners.

clear as mud:

the saint floyd statue is not historic, nor was it destroyed.
