Do you know if this quitting/firing is like ANC/Catholic church style quitting/firing when one is just redeployed somewhere once things calm down?

Send your tips to the Met. No idea if they were arrested.

I am not sure why you say what I have written is wrong? We are essentially saying the same thing or am I misreading something?

Oh **** my humble apologies
. I misread it and thought you were saying you could have level 1 BEE without being black.Sorry about that
Who takes a child to a riot/protest? That's another level of fsckedup.
Doesn't hold up.
Kentucky had a statue of Davis in their senate or what ever.
Kentucky was not part of the Confederacy. Why does Kentucky need that statue?
Statues are a form of idolatry. Not history.
Germans are very aware of Hitler, the pain he caused. There are no statues in Germany of Hitler. Having his statue there would not raise any more awareness, but would become a shrine to the Neo-Nazis.
Money for statues should be spent on funding libraries and museums.

People who don't expect to be pepper sprayed while peacefully protesting
Oh that first picture is actually from 2010.
Awkward. I am sure the Met cold case department is on it.
Defacing the Cenotaph, urinating on Churchill... how young thugs at student protest broke every taboo
The physical victims of their violence, inevitably, were the police. But the casualties of the day were respect and common decency.

Oh and the women who set fire to the flag was arrested as well.
Case closed. You can rest now.

Right.
So why is a statue any different?

Statues are different from a lot of things that offend me. You asked a ridiculously generalized question.

Very interesting that you use that word:
What do the protestors (and the progressive establishment in general) do? They establish a religion in everything but name
1) Establish original sin:
straight, white or male = bad
LGBT, POC = good.
2) Tear down all the false idols and eliminate all the other "religions". <- You are here
3) Have a god of the gaps: If you find any gap in knowledge, assume it is because of racism and sexism.
4) Confess your sins of you are a "bad" person

At their very basic root, they are a form of property. Either publicly owned or privately owned. Both of which you would probably agree with me are not up to being vandalized.
So what is the criteria for your thinking that this form of property can be vandalized, but other forms of property cannot?

You treat the statues with religious reverence. You bestow value to them,elevating them to deity status, that they must not be harmed and must be respected and all those who disrespect them are to be scorned and punished.
So you confirm that statues don't offer any value for historical education and their value as such is somewhat meaningless.
Yip, pretty much agreed.

Very tolerant. Almost as if they don't care if it's true.
Here is the study. It's still being peer-reviewed and potential flaws in it's methodology have been published, which the author has addressed.
