Because Marxists and anarchists don’t actually care about the “cause” or reality, it’s always just abut he chaos and the revolution.

Quote:Have protesters officially lost the aim of what they're protesting for?

The initial outrage against the Minneapolis police killing of 46-year-old George Floyd was absolutely justified. No one could watch the video of officer Derek Chauvin pressing his knee against Floyd's neck and pinning him to the ground for nearly 9 minutes before his body went motionless and not be sick to their stomachs. But the peaceful protests quickly devolved into violent riots. Innocent business owners' lives were uprooted by looters, and heroic Americans like retired police chief David Dorn were senselessly killed trying to protect those businesses. It's not what Floyd's family wanted, they urged in an emotional statement last week.

The next chapter in the mayhem is the dismantling of historic statues. Around the country mobs have targeted Christopher Columbus and Founding Fathers deemed racist. A Columbus statue in Richmond, VA was vandalized, torn down and thrown in a lake, while he was simply beheaded in Boston.

And now, Philadelphia we have a problem. In Philadelphia City Hall, protesters vandalized a statue of Matthias Baldwin by writing, "colonizer" at the bottom of the monument. And just who was Baldwin? An inventor and an abolitionist whose philanthropy included years of helping to educate young black children.

"Among Baldwin’s philanthropies was education for black children," Encyclopedia Brittanica explains. "His abolitionist sympathies led to a Southern boycott of his engines shortly before the American Civil War."

Baldwin also fought for the right of African Americans to vote in Pennsylvania during the state’s 1837 Constitutional Convention and hired African Americans to work in his shops. Joe Walsh, a member of the Friends of Matthias Baldwin Park, put it this way for National Review: “He was BLM [Black Lives Matter] before there was a slogan.”

So, yeah, lots of folks were confused by the protesters' latest target.

It's not the issue that matters, just the destruction.

Surprised they didn't go after the Rocky Balboa statue. He did put a whipping on Apollo Creed and Clubber Lang.

You're being kind again

No one has ever accused these people of being smart

They thought it was a George Washington statue...

This is why taking down the statue isn’t erasing history, it’s not reading the plaque.

This is what happens when you're only taught to hate and destroy in school and not the basics. You know, reading, science, math. Not everyone can blow there way through life.

I wonder if comments disparaging the education of others are more likely to have spelling errors in those very comments.

“their”

But to be fair, you didn’t mention writing.
