When will support for the left run out after acts like this? Or will people continue to feel strongly that vandalism/destruction is the best way to go about this?

So we're supposed to be upset that statue honoring a genocidal butcher was dealt with in an entirely appropriate manner?

Oh ok.

What is the left?

Oh ok.

You consider vandalism 'an entirely appropriate manner'? I hope that applies for everything. If someone doesn't like the color of your car, can they vandalize it?

+ 1 Apparently, liberals think it is totally appropriate to destroy property they don't like.

Anyone who thinks that it's appropriate to vandalize as long as the cause is one that they approve of has lost the moral authority to complain when the cause is one that they don't approve of.

I'm more concerned about violence these days to actual people than a statue.

I'm surprised it has gone this long without mention of ol' Chris Columbus. Isn't there a drive to do away with the holiday? I'm waiting for calls to rename Maryland and Virginia both named in honor of tyrants.

I don't get this at all. I completely can't understand the people who think this is okay. Petition to get the statue removed if you feel that strongly. What is the defense here of destroying property? And if not following the laws.

The people defending this - would you feel the same way if someone tore up the rainbow flag on your property? If it's okay to destroy symbols that you disagree with, then it goes both way.

It's taken me 43 years to realize that most libs have their own set of rules. They can do whatever they want because they are so "progressive." Everyone who doesn't agree with them be damned. This comment does a wonderful job of illustrating that.

I'm on the left and I don't like the vandalism. I would be fine if his statue came down through legal means. I have long thought the holiday was misplaced and should be renamed.

Time to start attacking statues and buildings dedicated to pro abor tion monsters.

Let's start with Margaret Sanger.

Me too. I'd like to remind people that "liberals" and "the left" aren't monoliths. While we have similar beliefs, we have different means to those ends.

I'm in favor of taking statues down and putting them in a museum or other educational facility. I am not pro-vandalism.

I'm sure 21:29 will totally be on board.
