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.
While this is true, I will point out to you that your liberal compatriots and peers have gotten exponentially worse - more extreme, self-righteous, felonious - in just the last year or so.
Which is exactly why I do not count myself in your ranks anymore.
Sure you were. Ha! Keep the laughs coming.
Interesting. I've gotten this response before. Denial much? Yeah, I was, and I'm not the only one. Still am a moderate, it's just that you crazy Left extremists have moved too far left, too extreme, too pompous and self righteous, and I'm over it.
Oh, I'm a minority, immigrant, female too. Kiss my a**.

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?

Serious question: what museum would want those statues? Wouldn't they be vandalized too? I don't like Christopher Columbus but, I also don't agree with vandalism.
It's believed to be the first monument in the country to honor Columbus. It was put up in 1792.
That might make some museum interested in it. History and what not.
Then it should stay where it is due to ots historical significance.
Maybe make a museum called history of genocide in the US.

The holiday is mostly celebrated to honor Italian Americans.

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