FILE - In this June 12, 2020, file photo, police guard a statue of British explorer James Cook as protesters gather in Sydney, to support U.S. protests over the death of George Floyd. An Australian state government leader said on Monday, June 15, 2020 she was considering tougher laws to protect monuments after two statues of British explorer James Cook were vandalized in Sydney.
Two women were charged with defacing a statue with spray paint in downtown Hyde Park over Saturday night. Another statue was discovered spray painted in the eastern suburb of Randwick on Sunday morning in an unrelated attack, police said. “I wish it didn’t come to this and I want to stress that it’s only a very, very small percentage of the population that’s engaging in this activity, the vast majority of us don’t condone it, we think it’s disrespectful, it’s un-Australian,” she told reporters.
....and it's been idiotic
And how does any of this improve the lives for their citizens? Not one bit. It’s just more feel good actions that might be emotionally satisfying but won’t address any of the root causes of dissatisfaction. Use the brains rather than lying to ourselves about these criminal acts.
People will blame anything for their failures in life .
Cities around the world are. People are tearing them down.

What we’ve got here is failure to communicate! That and a lack of history intelligence;
I'm personally against that. I believe we should save these statues, to remember. If we remember, we won't make the same mistakes ever again (at least hopefully). At the same time I understand why anyone would want to remove them. Those weren't the best times.
It’s the only way liberals can get anything done. Through violence. They can’t express compelling argument at all so they just resort to violence every time to get their way.
Black folk really need to educate themselves.
Read 1984, you woke sheep.
Take them all to stone mountain and start a museum. Folks can pay to go see them...again.
It like those signs still remains in the heart of some people around the world and they still believed that and wanted it to continue to happen in our normal life today
Let's do Che Guevara, Allende, Lenin, Mao and Stalin next.
Statue of Lenin in Seattle still looking good. 🤔
Sad state of affairs!

Thank you Sydney!
