They did it because they were allowed to, this only emboldens these miscreants to do as they damn well please. Are we no longer a nation of laws?

we are seeing the American Taliban in action. Keep your powder dry gents, it ain't gonna get any better.

They have already started on other statues that offend somebody.

Makes you wonder what Antifa and the Snowflakes will go after next once all the statues that offend each and every leftist group are gone.

You beat me too it. There's little difference between this and the Taliban using an artillery piece to destroy all non-Islamic statues and monuments. We're raising little anarchists bent on destroying anything they do not agree with.


"First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a communist."

"Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist."

"Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew."

"Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."

And why aren't their photographs being used to identify them and then used to expel and arrest them?

Why are they being allowed to act with impunity?

Why isn't someone....

Oh well, never mind! It's just another college/university!

And you beat me to that ^^^

I’m reminded of another famous quote -

“The South will rise again”

I think the current breed of fascists are going to accelerate that fuse.

If there is one thing I've learned over my years, federal/state and local law enforcement only "enforce" the laws they want to and the district attorneys only prosecute the cases they want to prosecute.

Those "laws" you voted for and passed, just a flashing yellow light.

Ah, little commies have left their parents house and returned to campus. Time to #protest! something, anything. Just don't make me go to class and do work.

Too bad "Silent Sam" didn't crush a few of the protesters on the way down.....Now that would make a good news story. "College Students Crushed To Death While Toppling Silent Sam Statue"....Yep.....Erase American History instead of learning about the past to avoid the same mistakes. Nope, you don't like something, just eradicate it from History...... What next, are they going to topple the Mickey Mouse Statues at Disney World?

Don’t give them any ideas...Mickey is a misogynist; he kept Minnie in the kitchen wearing an apron and high heels just for his pleasure. He’s a racist too, have you never seen Mickey in ‘Black face?’ Walt Disney musta been a racist also, show me one African-American Disney character? (Before the “Princess and the Frog” (2009) and after that until Black Panther (which by definition is a social empowerment film released by Disney studios to counter all the white Superheroes.)

Give these kids time, they will figure it out. The world used to be a different place but, recognizing our earlier mistakes we have advanced and continue to accept that which is different (at least we were until Obama came along and undid 50 years of progress.)

Talk show host Dennis Prager often says, "The Union saved America in the first Civil War. The South will save it in the second Civil War."
