Ahhhhhhhhh, so vandalism and destruction of property is ok when it's lefties doing it?

Thats always been the argument.

The City of New Orleans is removing those monuments, the mayor of Lexington says he's having them removed......just a couple of examples.......I don't have a problem since they want it done legally.

Toppling them - criminal act, period.

Durham (or Durham County) would have taken down the statue by now if the state legislature, which is highly gerrymandered to a Republican supermajority, hadn't passed a law making it impossible for local governments to remove confederate monuments without approval from a state historical commission.

But what is your position on how this monument came down?

I love how we have so much more unequivocal condemnation of vandalism than we do of neo-nazis killing and assaulting people. Great priorities.

Nope

I only read about this during my morning coffee (boyz golf weekend all weekend).

Here is what I get from this:

1) Asshole Nazi's protesting - but as far as I can tell it was initially non-violent
2) Counter-protestors show up
3) Young lady tragically gets killed by Hitler lover (who was apparently some rogue nazi)
4) Trump is the guy in the wrong.

They should have charged this punk with first degree murder, not second, and we should send him to visit Ole Sparky instead of this back and forth political nonsense all over my news feeds.  Let's punish the killer.

5) Hate speech is protected (sucks but it's true)
6) Terry McCauliffe is a douchebag panderer.

RIP to the young woman and the VSP Troopers who were killed patrolling the event.  Very sad.

Pay attention, Grace.

Have they taken down Theodore Bilbo's picture from the MS Governor's Mansion yet?

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Oh, and yes, there is just a teensy teensy tiny difference between pulling down a statue and physically assaulting another human being, let alone running 20 of them down in the car

I don't think anyone said otherwise......oh and when are you leaving the BAL club?  You really need a red or socialist avatar,  you big lug.

Can we get rid of every photo of Robert Byrd while we're at it?  Please?

A bunch of whiners at UNC now protesting monuments.  Get out and earn a living and get the hell off of my TV.

Not sure if you're there yet but can't wait until we can say "stop complaining, get a job and get off your social security welfare check!".

Nope 10 years away, pal, and if you think I'm relying on SS to be there or to live on, you're insane.  And the only place you'll find me protesting is on a golf course when I f[inks[ up a 2 foot putt.

Cheating on scores too? Because that's all my boomer dad comes back and bitches about is all the other old bitches bitch about playing like crap and cheat their scorecards.

I don't need to cheat........I know I suck.  But thanks for asking.
