Mob Throws Statue of Hans Christian Heg, Abolitionist, Into Lake Monona

In Madison, Wisconsin, rioters threw a statue of Hans Christian Heg (an anti-slavery activist and abolitionist who actively fought slave catchers and died from battle wounds fighting for the Union in the Civil War), into a nearby lake.

This same crowd punched a state senator and started a fire.

“This is not a peaceful protest, so if you came out here for a peaceful protest, you missed it,” one organizer said. “We’re done being peaceful. Now we demanding justice,” they said, according to local reports.
