This is guaranteed. No doubt, already planned.

joel9507Well, I'm headed to Durham to one of my favorite restaurants tonight. Not downtown near the statue, but there are a lot of good restaurants there also. It is like every town I've lived near - there are good parts and bad parts.
From the quotes above, police seem on top of it, IMO. They didn't die/kill to protect some replaceable marble thingamabob - they kept tabs, and plan to arrest and prosecute the perps later.
As many know, Durham is fairly liberal and minorities and lower income folks are a big chunk of its population. Bottom line: if there is a jurisdiction where the police would confront a mob of those demographics with the force needed to actually to prevent vandalism, it isn't Durham. May not be anywhere.
Reason being, as annoying as vandalism is, it's not really the sort of crime where bodies strewn everywhere and a swarm of ambulances racing off, in front of a pristine statue, would be anyone's idea of good public safety policy.

recoatliftI hope the revisionist crowd leaves the statue in Salisbury alone. In fact leave all Southern memorials alone or find a place where they are welcome.
What the revisionist never take into consideration is all the WHITES who died freeing the blacks. Brother against brother, family vs family. The debt has been paid in blood.
Thanks LBJ for your Great fucking Society. Been paying "reparations" ever since. You experiement destroyed the black family. Dems, the party of slavery.

Blaming someone else for your problems also takes the burden of a solution off your shoulders and puts it on someone else's shoulders.

It won't be long - they are already going after Teddy Roosevelt.

ulstermanAnyone that is hammering on the police stop to think they were probably operating under orders not to intervene?

olfuzzyA college student was arrested Tuesday for toppling a nearly century-old statue of a Confederate soldier Monday in North Carolina in front of a cheering crowd.
Takiya Thompson, 22, brought a ladder up to the statue and used a rope to pull down the Confederate Soldiers Monument that was dedicated in 1924, according to The Associated Press. A diverse crowd of dozens cheered as the statue of a soldier holding a rifle fell to the ground in front of an old courthouse building that now houses local government offices in Durham County.
Seconds after the monument fell, protesters began kicking the crumpled bronze monument.
“I’m tired of white supremacy keeping its foot on my neck and the necks of people who look like me,” Thompson said at a news conference. “That statue glorifies the conditions that oppressed people live in, and it had to go.”
Thompson, a student at historically black North Carolina Central University, faces vandalism misdemeanor and felony charges, including for property damage and participation in a riot, according to the Durham County Sheriff’s Office.
Durham County Sheriff Mike Andrews said Tuesday that his deputies were working to identify others involved in the incident and plan to pursue felony charges against them, WRAL reported.
In response to the statue in Durham being torn down, Democratic North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper tweeted: “The racism and deadly violence in Charlottesville is unacceptable but there is a better way to remove these monuments.”

gw3971I don't suppose these group thinking democrats are going to burn all the $20 bills they have since the $20 is festooned with a portrait of the creator of the Democrat party, Andrew Jackson, who happened to be a violent repressive slave owner....

He was an old white guy, what more evidence of racism do you need??

He was white. The militant left will not be satisified until whites are physically oppressed like slaves were ....150 friggin years ago.

Their (the "Deep Staters"in the Treasury Dept) goal is as soon as the $20 notes with Harriet Tubman comes out, a massive recall of all Jackson notes will occur and then after a period of time the old notes will be declared obsolete and without value.
