Went to go look at the damage yesterday. Pure vandalism.

I call people that vandalize lower than snake shuut. A waste of skin.....
That counts for people that litter as well.

I hope they arrested and charged those idiots , an example needs to be made.

 

[SeRpEnT]

Apparently no arrests has been made.

Apparently no arrests has been made.

That might end up being the problem.

If they can identify the idiots, they NEED to arrest them and prosecute them for anything they can. An example needs to be made of these idiots.

Shame cutting down statues will create jobs and a better life for all.

The idea of if you don't agree with it, destroy it, is becoming more common of late.

If it's white, it's not right.

Cool.

I sometimes wonder if most of these people actually know why they do this or is it just sheep mentality and follow the one that screams the loudest? (Please note I have not linked anybody/race to animals)

That statue isn't white

So let me get this straight, they feel so damn oppressed by the statue that it must be destroyed, but his money is still good enough. If you feel so oppressed, the door is open, go study somewhere else.

Would be sad if they actually cut down any statue from 1908 .

So sad. Our university students are trying to erase South African history whilst their peers in the United States are innovating.

Wouldn't be too quick to say that about the US students, they are doing the same thing!

Yeah was about to say something along those lines..

Universities the world over seem to be infected by this SJW nonsense...

So even at vandalism, they suck and can't finish the job?
