Historical Statues Vandalized and Toppled in Multiple States on Thanksgiving
“The statues and buildings vandalized on Wednesday and Thursday appear to have been targeted in protest of colonialism, gentrification and capitalism.”
While millions of Americans were celebrating Thanksgiving this week, against the wishes of numerous Democrat leaders, other people were destroying historical monuments in multiple cities.
Who would do such a thing? Do you think it was angry Trump supporters?
Theodore Bunker reports at Newsmax:
Statues Across Country Torn Down on Thanksgiving
Multiple statues of historical, often colonial, figures were torn down on Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, and vandalized with red paint and graffiti, Fox News reports.
A Spokane, Washington, police report says that a statue of President Abraham Lincoln was vandalized with paint, while multiple colonial statues were toppled or defaced in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Some of the graffiti written on the statues include “no more genocide” and “all colonizers are b——-.”
A group called the Pan-Indigenous People’s Liberation network has claimed responsibility in a statement that also calls for a “national decolonial day of action.”
Here’s a short video from CTV News:

Protesting America’s past? Statues of former presidents, other historical monuments vandalized in 4 states over Thanksgiving
Historical monuments and statues have been graffitied or toppled in four cities since Wednesday — seemingly in protest of America’s past.
The statues and buildings vandalized on Wednesday and Thursday appear to have been targeted in protest of colonialism, gentrification and capitalism.
The words “land back” were spray-painted on statues and buildings in multiple cities. The LANDBACK campaign is an Indigenous movement against white supremacy and for Indigenous food sovereignty, housing, and clean air and water.
In Chicago, vandals tried but failed to topple a park statue of President William McKinley early Wednesday using a rope tethered to a car, police said.
McKinley was president from 1897 to 1901 and his push for westward expansion is now widely criticized as racist, for pushing Indigenous people off their land, WBBM-TV reported.

Antifa extremists toppled and defaced a monument to dead veterans in a southeast Portland cemetery. They wrote "F— USA," "EAT SH—" & drew anarchist symbols. There were no arrests. #antifa #PortlandRiots https://t.co/wSsysp6CXr

We already know how Trump feels about this sort of thing. Do you think anyone in our media will ask Biden to condemn it? Somehow, I doubt it.

Let’s get some faces to go with the mandatory prison terms.
Unpossible! I had been assured by the Very Best And Brightest Persons In The History Of The Universe (TM) that all of the unrest would go away as soon as Comrades Harris and Biden laid their healing hands on a Trump-ravaged world.
Must be those ubiquitous durned White supremacists again. You know – the ones actually doing the burning, looting, rioting, raping and murdering in Portland, Seattle, Chicago, New York, etc. Or so the Joseph Goebbels media tells me.
I am pretty sure that the symbol in red on the veterans memorial that looks like an oversized “A” is the traditional symbol of the Amish.
Buckle your seatbelts. We are about to have quite a ride.
This is late Nov. Cold. Wait until spring.
If Trump prevails, those that want to reprise the unrest of last summer in response may find themselves standing in the street like the flashy swordsman in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Largely thank your local Leftist Seminary University and the Leftist Public Theology schools
The Church of Woke has the widest network of seminaries anywhere …
… reminds me of Matthew 7:13: “Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it.

“The statues and buildings vandalized on Wednesday and Thursday appear to have been targeted in protest of colonialism, gentrification and capitalism.”
Pure BS.
1) The Marxist target was our culture.
2) This is not “protest.”
It isn’t a real protest unless something is destroyed. Otherwise it’s meeting of white separatists and racists where the place is left cleaner than before. The almost paraphrase the Mass. AG …you have to burn down a forest to grow a new one in its place. Down with Lincoln ..up with Mao.
“protest of colonialism, gentrification and capitalism.”
I double down on the BS. “gentrification” is the product of the left. Washington DC is a great example of that. As the left gentrification push the poor communities out of DC, who moves in? The WOKE!
Everything that is protested by the left/BLM/whatever you want to call it, is just projection of what they are doing.
Vandalism is normally a local matter, but this is a nationally coordinated effort.
They’re terrorists attacking the United States to intimidate and demoralize our people.
They’re a cancer that has spread throughout the body politic.
Deal with them appropriately.
Hard to do when a major portion of the electorate are to dumb to see it or are aided in it. The fallacy for the Left is that once released … their Kracken will devour everything with any remaining Left as dessert. This is extremely well coordinated . It is a comprehensive plan to take down the only courter force to the CCP and Red China’s final long march to total world domination. Sort of puts the Wuhan Flu into intentional rather than accidental release.
Put them back up, asap, and put AG William Barr under one of them: the next time the Brownshirt topple one, it’ll fall on him.
what happen to the EO trump signed a few months ago that was supposed to protect monuments??
Amazing how these vandals had the time to do what they did. The police must have been occupied elsewhere for … something.
Donut sale.
They didn’t have anywhere to go for Thanksgiving dinner. They alienated their family members.
