WWII monument in Charlotte defaced with hammer and sickle
Quote:A World War II memorial in North Carolina’s largest city was reportedly defaced over the weekend with a hammer and sickle.
The 20-foot-tall memorial, located at Evergreen Cemetery in Charlotte, contains the names of more than 500 county residents who died fighting in WWII, WBTV reported.
Somewhere between Sunday evening and Monday morning, it was defaced with references to communism, including a hammer and sickle and the words: “Glory to the day of heroism June 19, 1986.”
The phrase is a reference to a prison massacre in Peru, in which some 224 people were killed by the military after a series of riots.
A portion of the WWII monument that read, “Dedicated to the memory of the Mecklenburg heroes of World War II who made the supreme sacrifice that you might live in liberty, freedom and peace,” was also covered in yellow paint.
Later Monday, a group of people were spotted scrubbing off the paint. U.S. Air Force veteran Wayne White told Fox 17 he rounded up some friends to help clean the monument after seeing images of the defacing on social media.
Wayne told the station that the names on the memorial “are veterans and deserve the honor, respect, and dignity.”
The monument’s defacing comes as other historic monuments and statutes have become the targets of anger and vandalism during nationwide protests in the wake of George Floyd’s death in police custody late last month.

It's all coming into focus... the Leftist mob is pro-facism and pro-slavery, and is destroying anything that was against slavery and facism.

It will only happen as long as we tolerate it. When momma and daddy start having to pay whopper attorney fees and big bail to get their dipshit out of jail some of it will end. When the more violent ones are taken down hard it will end. Anyone can be anarchist if there is no price to pay for it. Raise the stakes and only the most militant will be left and then you can drop the legal hammer on them when they are painting one on a monument.

I’m pushing 60 and I would volunteer to knock the snot of a few of those woke protesters for fun. If they get to the point where they start looking for volunteers to parent these 20 something children, I’m in.

None of this is about racial inequality. BLM should be pissed that their movement has been hijacked. It's about erasing history to rebuild it in their image. These are ISIS tactics right out of the communist playbook.

If Biden's elected, statue defacing will be the least of our worries.

If Biden is elected they will call out the National Guard to arrest or shoot property owners defending their homes and businesses. And they will use that defense as a reason to confiscate registered firearms in the name of preserving the peace.

We’ll be having to worry about where to dispose of the protestors bodies

If city mayors cared they would deploy police to guard important historical monuments 24/7.

Are you psychic?
Holocaust memorial vandalized in California
Jews afraid of BLM
Good Lord. Quicker than feared.
With all of the anti Semitic feelings of aggrievement in certain pockets of the black community, I’d post a security detail. The racists in BLM are going to try to settle all of their race scores.
Wait until Farrakhan’s bigot offshoots get involved.

Many decent people now supporting BLM out of emotion and solidarity...are going to suddenly realize that BLM has been infiltrated by Anarchists, Marxists and Socialist moon bats that want to destroy this country. There is going to be a war..but..not a race war. Something tells me that eventually this might actually bring us all together to fight that common enemy.

Fo Shizzle, people are told this is okay b/c no one was listening to blacks every other time they tried to protest. "If you don't agree w/ what they're doing, you don't care about black people."

That's not it at all. This is a violent movement and Maoist in nature. This isn't the NAACP or the Million Man March.

Those people are idiots who voice said opinion because it is the cheapest most banal form of virtue signaling available.
