Another Statue Destroyed by ANTIFA

   Protesters pulled down a statue on the University of North Carolina campus that has been standing for over 100 years.  The Statue, known as Silent Sam was "tented" by protesters in what was thought to be a non-violent event, but inside of the tent, demonstrators were damaging the statue's base so that it could be brought down.
   
   The violence and property damage associated with the many Leftist Protests is getting out of control.  Are you in support of this type of behavior or not?  What else cab be done peacefully to improve race relations in America?  Is this a fallout of Democrat hate or simply the Obama-era tactics of division working overtime?

      I threw my armymen toys away at age eight.
      
      Had my US green taken away from me for refusal to build a war sculpture for GW Bush.
      
      Yet, would not destroy another person work of expression, no matter how horrible it maybe, would probably ignore it.
      
      Yet, on the other hand to force someone abilities to work in a country, because he has no destructive criminals behavior toward Humanity, is indecent

            Having my US green card taken away from me because I won't build a bloody world war 2 sculpture display. Hired by and to further GW Bush (little Hitler) campaign. This not my idea of any honor or integrity base. I decided I don't want to be part of this Nationaism madness that is even worst than Religion.
            
            What war has America ever won on their own besides the Mexican/American war. Still you can't stop 60 million Mexican living there.
            
            Dozens of war statue are being removed or vandalized across America. Because majority of Americans are sick and tired of supporting the worst crime to humanity, murder. US military is the largest Corperation in the world. Too much offensive security harms our freedom and security.  Yet, brainwash, hypnotized and people are program to pay for this greatest evil, as war solves nothing.
            
            I don't support any vandalise statues or sculptures. Luckily my sculptures are mainly works of beauty, as beauty is truth. Not had any of my artworks seriously vandalise, that is the pay off. Making my living building sculptures, statues, and museum displays for 44 years.
            Makes this comment Worthy.

      I think trying to credit Obama with this is a stretch. 
      
      This is just one part of forwarding of the Progressive agendas, which would be occurring with or without Obama.
      
      Civilizations wax and wane, America is no exception to the pendulum swinging.
      
      It is unclear where it all could be headed, we will have to watch countries like the UK, Canada and France for hints of where this could be leading, as those three nations are all ahead of America by at least a decade in their deconstruction of societal norms, historical traditions, and cultural cohesion.

   Reminds me of the Taliban tearing down Buddhist statues.
   
   Rabid radicals are pretty much all alike. Absolutely no respect for anyone, or anything. They feed on violence.
   
   What I find most disturbing is that the left will not speak out against them, thus feeding the violence.

      This silent Sam statue dose not tell me much. About 9 times out of ten soilders who kill, is murder in a uniform. It could be one soilders who is directly protecting his life or his family like many in the middle East are.
      
      Being against anyone or group joins the problem.  Like Rome against the Christains. Then Christians went against Romans to take up arms and evil,  then became the new world champion of murder and war.
      
      If the statue were of Christopher Columbus or Hitler, in which I am  not for. I would speak out and point their more cons greater than their pros to represent their character.

      Funny you mention the Taliban, if you take the deconstruction of our society to its conclusions, it leads to a probable outcome that a strict authoritarian 'patriarchal' belief system fills the void... ultimately it could very easily lead to the spread of Islam and the establishment of Sharia Law.
      
      It will be interesting to see how things progress in a nation like France where the Islamic population has crossed the 10% mark.  With converts, birth rates, and continued 'refugee' inflow it should reach 20% within a decade and we should see how well societal assimilation is working as Islam becomes less of a minority in a well established western nation.

         The number of displaced people or refugees each year 65.6 million  and keeps rising, last year 6 million from Syria. When US  destroying these Muslims countries, so where are these people suppose to go. I don't look at  Muslim people much different than Americans as a human being, they not a disease you spread or destory like native Americans.
         
         Don't worry about over population of Christians or Muslims. Non- religious with be the majority in my life time.
         
         Our life expectancy today is more than double from the life span time of people 1850s or civil war. There is far less wars per capita today than any other time in modern history.  Why honour their stupidity hardship a leading case of death and regrets.
         Majority of Americans don't want war 
         mainly the State and bankers want it

         Cultures do not mix well. Never have. People can coexist peacefully but cultures so incredibly different can't.  FGM, forced marriage, child rape, bizarre beliefs about women? That's oil to the water of Western values.
