Lester Davis, a spokesman for Baltimore Mayor Bernard C."Jack" Young, told the Sun the toppled statue is part of a"re-examination taking place nationally and globally around some of these monuments and statues that may represent different things to different people."
"We understand the dynamics that are playing out in Baltimore are part of a national narrative," Davis said."We understand the frustrations. What the city wants to do is serve as a national model, particularly with how we've done with protesting. We've seen people who have taken to the streets, we have supported them. We are going to continue to support it. That's a full stop.
And yet Puerto Rico remains a third class colony.
Good riddance
Protestors or criminals who vandalize public property?
Sounds like protesters in Baltimore need to be shot....
But this is all about George Floyd, right?
Maryland has an 11% proficiency rate in civics. The teachera unions took it out of public schools years ago. Not for lack of funding. indoctrination over education. This was planned. You were warned .
JTaylorSkinner They dragged the statue with ropes and chains. Do you really believe they wouldn't do the same to a dissenter? Is the barrier really that great?

The brown shirts, destroyed statues of history, that happened to be people that can’t be erased. Like burning American Library books. This is what North Korea, Russia ,China & the Taliban would have done also. Radical terrorist groups forming, not good.

Columbia University. That name should be changed and all degrees with that name burnt.

Next in line, Colonel Sauders Fried Chicken, he stole the recipe from the western-Africans and his image should be removed from KFC...
Point made, but can we stop dumping stuff in the ocean?
Can we start teaching the real story of Columbus in our history books not the glorified version, he was a monster not a hero
Why weren’t these statues taken down under 8 yrs of Obama/Biden? Why wasn’t the 4th denounced? Why is all this happening now? Desperate attempts to destroy our country...could it be for another reason? Why are DEMS so desperate to get the obviously inept Biden elected?
Now, if only we could replace Columbus Day with Indigenous People's Day, we'd be on the right track.
Lol it’s the 4th and these people have no party to go too so they go protest
Isn't this just going to cost taxpayers $ when the statute gets put up again? These idiots need to take statutes down via legislative means, not mob rule.
When NPR will admit they are rioters it will be too late. You get to own that NPR. I used to respect you.
As also a symbol of white supremacy and slavery, will all blacks be moving to the countries of their African ancestors, or continue to enjoy the more luxurious privileges afforded to them
