--------

A statue of the nation's third president at the university he founded was vandalized Friday.

At the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, a statue of a seated Thomas Jefferson had the words "racist + rapist" scrawled in red spray paint on what would be his 275th birthday.

The Jefferson home, Monticello, lies a short distance on the other side of Interstate 64 from campus.

Jefferson has drawn criticism as the nationwide controversy over public statuary gained steam.

He was known to own slaves, and is rumored to have fathered a child with a servant named Sally Hemings.

A university spokesperson slammed the defacement of Jefferson's statue, telling the Washington Post that UVA "recognizes the complexities of Thomas Jefferson's legacy and continues to explore them fully and honestly."

Oh Jesus Christ... when does this crap end?

How about we start digging into the past of all of these protestors and start pasting their records for all to see.

I am reminded of 1930s Germany.

Is that what represents "slamming" something. What a joke. Whoever did this should have their head placed on a pike in front of Monticello as a cautionary warning for other morons who might consider doing something so stupid.

Seems as if Virginia is trying pretty hard to catch up with California.

It was a spineless answer. It reminded me of Mitch McConnell.

Yes, but the gubbermint was in charge in Germany when those signs were going up! All these radical black groups in this country have no concept what the outcome would be if they push it to the point that mass violence breaks out.

It will most likely get very violent, and bloody, in very short order. And they will not like the outcome.

I remember way back when as the black protestors had gotten tired of trashing and burning DC and headed up Georgia avenue for Maryland.

They were met by policemen, elbow to elbow across Georgia avenue right on the border. The police were armed with shotguns.

Crowd decided there had to be a better way, and went back to downtown DC for some more fun.

Blacks are approximately 11-12% of our population. Just how much hell can they raise against those of us who have zero patience for their shit, and will use lethal force to defend ourselves and our property.

You'll notice these cowards have stopped attacking real people or blocking their progress in vehicles- it only takes a few of them plowing through a crowd of rioters to take the fun out of that. But a monument...they don't fight back.

There will soon come an incident where a real American snaps and removes a bunch of these turds from the environment; it is exactly what the criminal left wants to happen...sacrificing the pawns to gain an advantage.

So what would happen if someone de-faced a MLK statue?

The school ought to leave it like that and feature a picture on it's web page. You know, so parents can see the atmosphere of where they might send their kid.

Seems to me the first owners of Black slaves were Black slave owners. So maybe that's where they should start their acts of vengance.

thats too subtle a point and it will go waaaaay over the heads of most blacks that are protesting about the inequalities....but they're just noisemakers...nothing else to offer

they don't realize, and likely never will that they are their own worst enemy

That is a key remark. You know what will happen. All the Al Sharptons and Jesse Jackson will be marching for a pay-off, government agencies will be investigating hate crimes, etc.

I can give them all that but the lack of reciprocity in response from the government and the general public is alarming.

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Not so much, over in my end of the state, but the NoVa area is becoming overrun with liberals. And unfortunately, they're spreading southward.
