Is Anyone Guarding our Villages Statues???

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 guy on the fence in Brownwood is Gary Morse....don't want overlook him.

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.

because they can with no consequences.

you should.

Is this a sub-forum thread?

I suggest 24 hour armed guards.

Morons for removing statues of those who supported slavery? Who is the moron here?

Read this article from Wikipedia, especially toward the end. It isn’t pretty.

I believe Grant owned some slaves.

Theres no reasons for the statues being torn down. Its being done by uncivilized animals who are just looking to cause chaos and destruction. Statues totally un related to this excuse for a cause have been targeted. Just think, theyve burned down and looted stores in the own neighborhood and last night tried to overtake the White House. Theyre just savages who were raised without learning respect. Blame the parents

Complete Stupidity, shows incompetence in our school systems and family values.

Columbus actually did enslave many thousands of indigenous people and presided over the deaths of hundreds of thousands, it is thought. Not a very nice guy.

That's the elephant in the room. With both parties being at odds here these days, don't be giving anyone any ideas. As they say, let sleeping dogs lie.

It’s well known that cattle are enslaved their entire lives and oppressed by slave-driving cattle dogs that are complicit with their owners. Those are the famous “Capitalist Running Dogs” I used to read about when I lived in China.

I suggest everyone just arm themselves and take care of their own property

The reason the lunatic left are toppling statues is because nobody really cares that much about statues and therefore are not willing to confront them. So, they get the 'news' they are looking for with little resistance. I call it COWARDICE at its lowest level. Nuff said.

Wrong! Grant's father owned slaves and he hated it. He left home when his father put him in military school. As an adult he never owned a slave, he actually went in the military then quit to go farm and almost went bankrupt trying to farm by himself. When that failed he rejoined the Union army at the request of the Illinois Governor. After the war he got caught up in a ponzi scheme with his son, and lost everything. He spent his last days writing his memoirs before dying of cancer. Never owning a single slave.

The moron here is anyone who would condone violence, vandalism, and rioting. If you want them removed, go through the proper channels.

Removing cell phones and social media =s Removing stupidity
These morons can't think. Just like sheep and cows they can only follow

Regardless of what he did we cannot destroy our history. Are you saying that tearing down his statue is justified?

Just a bunch of thugs looking to tear something up. Fill the statues with history books.

Let's not pass partial truths on about another President. There is enough misinformation going around. Grant's in-laws from Missouri were slave owners, and by virtue of the fact that his wife Julia Dent was guilty by family, a slave briefly passed into Grant's possession when Mr Dent died. He was emancipated. Grant did a lot for the black population (such as could be done back in the day). As far as the original post about The Villages statues being in danger---seriously? LOL! Ron

Reminiscent of my recent trip to Chile. Every beautiful statue and monument, stores, churches, cemeteries etc have been either burned out, graffitied, covered with paint or otherwise destroyed for no apparent reason except they could get away with it. After the initial riots which started out calm until the "thugs" showed up and 35 people died, the police, who were accused of human rights violations, have backed off. Downtown Santiago and Valparaiso are a disaster. Don't let this happen to our country. These riots were not about ethnic backgrounds. They happened because of low wages and retirement benefits etc. WOW!

You will when they come to your place.

They are morons. Explain why Lincoln and Grant were toppled! These idiots don't give a rats rear end about BLM, only destruction because the atmosphere allows them to get away with it now. They should have had their rear end handed to them in the beginning and this would not have progressed to where it has now.

Oh, some "professor came up with a story that Christopher Columbus sold little girls into slavery. Now I wonder what document they have to prove that as truth? None! History means nothing to morons.

This is not about white supremacy or slave owners , this is about destroying America and anarchy. George Floyd was their excuse to kick off their main event, they have been chipping away at AMERICA , morales and religion for years.

If anyone wants to guard the statues they have my support but I will not be putting my life or freedom on the line for that cause.
Whenever I hear someone say "we" I ask myself do they say "we" and mean someone else will do it?

When I was married my wife would say we need to do this or that. It never actually meant she would be involved lol.

I believe our country is heading for a civil war of sorts. I hope I'm wrong but it sure seems inevitable.

I believe whites have turned a deaf ear to the echoes of past racism and the black community needs reforms so expensive that the only solution is violence/uprising.

The system is setup to keep the winners winning and the politicians give the illusion that change is coming. When someone fights to get their head above water they're not likely going to drown themselves. The BLM movement is getting the "winners" to act quickly as we can see but will it be enough?

I believe he was never in North America

This isn't about the statues. It is a war against anything about white people.

What "document?"

How about...his OWN WORDS?! :oops:

I’m a southerner and when I think of riots I think of Los Angeles, Detroit, New York, and dont forget Minnesota. The bigotry isn’t only in the South.
