What? Nobody thought this movement was going there?

The more extreme ones, sure. There's absolutely no end to it. But not everyone demanding police reform is running around defacing statues.

That's not what concerns me, though. You'd think that after about 10, 15 years of this shit we'd learn that appeasement's a bad idea.

It does stand to reason. I guess this above hits me in the heart harder than I was expecting.

These people have muddied my creek forever. Up to now, I've tried to endure with the teeth-gritting patience of a parent whose kids are being a giant PITA. But no more. I am done. These toxic little savages deserve whatever they get.

They toppled statues of Washington and Jefferson last night here in Portland. Draped a large American flag over one of the statues, and lit it on fire.

I expect riots this weekend, to coincide with the Trump rally. Would be a good counter to Trump getting the spotlight, and a field day for the media.

It's weird to see a statue of a founding father, with a burning American flag on it. Sad. Like that scene in Planet of the Apes where the Statue of Liberty is busted up on the beach.

I'm waiting for them to topple the statue of Sacagawea because she helped the evil white people take over. An Uncle Tom Tom.

You get what you teach.

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
