With what is going on across our country - are OUR VILLAGES statues safe?

Are they 'offending' anyone?

Can they be targetted?


Should we be guarding them too?

Pretty sure Harold Schwartz was neither a slave-owner nor a white supremacist. He was also not a born/bred Southerner and therefore not qualified to be hated as a result of his ancestors being members of the Confederacy. So I'd say his statue is safe.

The guy on the horse, I don't know who he's supposed to be. So I don't know if that one's safe or not. I'm suspicious of the dog though.

Doesnt seem to matter who are what you are.

To these people if a statue you are fair game.

I still can't figure out why a statue of Christopher Columbus was attacked and brought down. Anyone figure that one out?

The morons will tear down any statue they see. Heck, they would tear down a statue of Martin Luther King before they realized what they were doing. Go figure?

Columbus is targeted because Europeans brought hardship and death to many of America’s indigenous peoples.

How about the goofy white crosses in some folks yards

Why do we let them get away with this? The elected officials of the affected communities should be charged for not allowing their law enforcement to enforce the law.

Oh please. Who cares.

Is this a sub-forum thread?

I suggest 24 hour armed guards.
