Politics White Nationalist Rally turns to violence and terrorism

Right! Ignoring the laws against vandalism and destruction of public property, is malfeasance, even if it is part of the progressive agenda.
We are done.

 

I don't think people should unlawfully tear down statues. Perhaps when they're taken down by the local governments, they can be auctioned off to private art dealers or museums and the money raised can be used to finance tax cuts.

Did I just give you the weirdest boner of your life?

 

I've seen him a few times. Never really interested in what he says. Not really interested. However, he clearly doesn't fall in line with whatever it is his predetermined group think cult says if they want him dead.

I hope they leave him alone, otherwise he might have to go to Canada.

 

Good points but I think instant communication is having a reverse effect on everything. Everyone is hasty and kneejerk reactionary. This is creating chaos that I think will escalate further than the 60's.
Time has changed for the FIRST time, to an era of worldwide organized chaos by those who actually want anarchy. Never before have these people been able to communicate and organize like this. And this goes for the nazi white supremists as well.
People don't have the time or don't take the time To think about what is going on and are just jumping right into it on one side or the other.

Not everything is good "as is" though. Humans are progressive by nature. We are explorers. Forever seeking answers to the unknown and map lands not yet traversed.
We left the cave and we made fire and we made the wheel and we crossed the Atlantic and we took to the sky and we left the atmosphere and we landed on the moon...and...and...and
This will all be for not if we do not "make progress" on race relations and understanding of the need for compromise to coexist in a plural society.

History can be burnt into our minds many ways. Personally tv documentaries and school text books probably serve a much better function than a statue. If you haven't visited he statue by chance, seen a documentary or read about it, odds are you don't now if it's existence, so really the statue serves the least amount of significance when trying to preserve history I would think. Let the locals of the land who actually look at it decide what they would prefer and the rest of us can read about it like we always have.

They should just do it democratically with votes, rather than illegally with vandalism.

 

Its history that slavery existed. So I guess you think they shouldn't have passed the 13th Amendment. It erased history!

 

And In that context, we should have never toppled Hitler's statue as well. History right?

 

what a load of rude bullshit

 

proof you have no clue what a progressive agenda really is.....you keep lumping americans into your own personal boogey man....it's too bad Marz...we are fellow countrymen....you might want to start respecting that. Stereotypes like yours are why racism started to begin with....progressives aren't out to destroy property anymore than you are....assholes destroy property though, and they are not usually interested in partisan politics....they just like to vent...on all sides of the political landscape.....ask any native American about how their hunting grounds and sacred lands were destroyed by European invaders......I doubt you have a problem with that.

 

You are the ridiculous one arguing that historically statues were erected and that therefore removing statues is erasing history.

 

If the mob ruled, Trump wouldn't be in office right now.....but I guess you don't think of the KKK or Nazis as a mob.....only democrats form mobs eh?

 

sarcastically.....whoosh!!!! you lump the thousands in Boston into your definition of a mob and pretend they were all guilty of unruly, dangerous protesters....but that's your MO.......we live in volatile times thanks to a president that alienates large segments of the population ......a guy who's made America his enemy for the most part....educated people all over the planet are calling him out on it and you call them a mob.....I'm an American....not affiliated with any organized political group.....keep me out of your team sport
