The haters are not paying attention

WWII General William C. Lee victim of ignorance. I have zero tolerance for anyone who defaces any military related monument for any given reason.

"Idiot vandals attack and burn statue of 'General Lee' - but it was a monument dedicated to a WWII hero, not the Confederate commander"

People will do what they are allowed to do if there isn't any penalty to be paid for their actions. They are allowed to deface and vandalize monuments by our *justice* system who does nothing to the violators essentially empowering them to to what they want with impunity.

Once the statues were allowed to be removed, it gave *them* the power to do whatever they wanted to with others. It won't be stopped until they fear the repercussions of getting caught -- which amounts to nothing currently.

Exactly ! The powers to be stood by the wayside and basically encouraged the acts of vandalism. Unless the politics in those places change these acts will not stop.
