took an involuntary swim Saturday night, after protesters toppled his statute in Baltimore and threw it in the drink.

It seems almost inevitable that Columbus is about to become a scarce sight in this country, given the fact he was an awful man responsible for the rape and murders of countless people. The Mayor of Baltimore was understanding ... his spokesperson said,"We understand the dynamics that are playing out in Baltimore are part of a national narrative."

Never liked his hats

Wasn’t Columbus italian? Lol

Ok I’m outttie 5000. Good night yall

Americans lol broke asses 😂

Good

🤦‍♀️ whyyyyyy?

Ridiculous! Pathetic! Ignorant people. Christopher Columbus place of birth is uncertain. Genoa was not Italy. Columbus expedition funded by Spain. He arrived at 'El Salvador'and he never put a foot in The United States! thus Latin America Spanish!!!

That’s right 💪🏾

WE LOVE TO SEE IT.

christopher columbus fed children alive to his dogs (in front of their parents). He sold pre-teens to rapists. He made young boys looks for gold daily or else cut their hand off. He was one of the worst human beings in history, that statue should have never been up

russmove This, to a historian, is the equivalent of burning books

THEY SHOULD PUT IN JAIL! THESE FUCKING KIDS HAVE TO RESPECT OUR HISTORY! ALSO, THEY WON'T EVEN TAKE THE TIME TO LEARN THE HISTORY! THEY LIKE RAPPING AND SMOKE CRACK!!

Then just fuuuuking leave the states or hand back the Land

Todd those terrorist in the water with the Statue

Disrespectful ASSHOLES

He didn’t discover America anyways.

Treason

This destruction is over the top. Believe in a cause - But don't forget that we have moved on from our past. That is our future you can't change it but you can grow from it. Crazy waste.

It’s easy to topple a statue because they don’t fight back. To make real change takes more than rioting, blocking rds, etc. You have to talk to people and not shout at them and intimidate. Compromise

... Why?

Dumbasses

Other countries looking at us ...

good riddance

Yet the Lenin statue in Seattle remains untouched and even has great reviews on google reviews lol

WHYYYY?😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡

Those protesters are so brave

We shall live regardless

Let Baltimore burn and become just like Chicago. No one will want to open a business there and it will destabilize the local economy. Good job BLM.

Anarchists, the Jokers henchmen

And where are the cops at 🤔

20 year olds big mad at a piece of concrete of a person from over 500 years ago

Hey, TMZ, If you're illegally toppling statues and throwing them in harbors, you're not a 'Protester'. You're a VANDAL! A CRIMINAL! You're someone that should get 10 years in jail! LockUpTheCRIMINALS

Good grief 🙄🙄 are these 'protesters' ever happy? Or better yet what are they going to do once they destroy all the statues, this really is getting kinda pitiful now.

Thanks for celebrating the destruction of history, TMZ.

I don't mind removing statues of awful people, which he was, but fuck these people and the officials who let them do it.

✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼

Morons

10 years. All of them

NBCNews are they looking forthese people too?

HE TO WICKED!!

Destructive FOOLS!

Take all that shit down

Arrest them all.

They really want Trump to win again. Sheesh. They always push too hard

Voting is good over heard my baby savages

Columbus should not be celebrated

Where in the fuck is the military or national guard w this shit

baltimore is a dangerous city run by liberaldemocrats

Lovely. 🥰

PINKYPIE41 colombo always rings twice

That's insane lol

Why

That wasn't his name .

Democrat run cities are screwed

Hope the authority's findout who there deplorable lowlife pos were and give them that 10yr sentence see how they like that slop the prisons serve and concrete beds.

Next should be Obama’s and MLK since they want all the statues gone

This is a disgrace- these people are norging more than thug criminals !

I understand the anger and sentiment of the protestors but I will never be OK with destruction of private or public property.

Dox the billionaires

🇺🇸🤔🇺🇸🤔🇺🇸🤔🇺🇸🤔🇺🇸🤔🇺🇸🤔

Baltimore is a crime ridden liberal dump.

Cool. Now what?

I mean wasn't everyone who was white during that time considered racist. Why not throw every statue down no...

chief keef statue?

The statue has a higher IQ than every person there

They are so ignorant! That's why they are treated poorly. There is absolutely no other reason!!!

Where is law enforcement while American history is being destroyed?

Back in those days you were barely lucky enough to survive the boat ride. They didn't have GPS or Google Earth. They were captains of industry they weren't scared to try.

Baltimore is a garbage dump anyways

Not in favor of destroying history but history should be in a museum not out being idolized. The whole story,good and bad, should be told in a museum. When people began demanding the statues be removed cities should have started moving them before it came to this.

And the Communists continue to destroy America!

Y'all know this man STARTED the trans atlantic slave trade by taking native Americans to Spain as slaves right We NEVER should have spoken that demons name.

These motherfuckers trying to be activists by taking down Christopher Columbus statue down but will take the day off from work when the holiday hits.

Too bad it didn’t fall on one of them.

Thank you for curing racism.

P’sOS

This is very disrespectful to the sculptor who create it. Major arrest n fines to repair it. It takes time n $ to create a statue.

Stop throwing things in our water systems!!!!!!!! IDC about the statue. Our water and our natural environment is important!

It tripped and fell...

Why pick on Chris? Someone was bound to find America sooner or later...😐

Hope it was worth it! Good video will bring them 10 years of jail time.

Thirty mile zone. You're out of your league. pedowood

Geezzz

Whos taking down the pyramids then ? They were built by slaves too!?!? idiot people.. these Marxists are turning your country into a communist! Good luck!

These protesters are the whole reason this country is now becoming divided. Guess who is paying for this this? The same taxpayers who are paying for extra security, blocking traffic so hard working people can’t get to work to support their families. Guess no one has a real job!!

Can’t wait for the people to get caught and serve 10 years of prison

Total aholes

I hope they all go to jail! Idiots!!!!’

Clearly they are now on the path of suburban home ownership

Savages

Baltimore needed more negativity.

Isn’t this a federal crime now, with a 10 year jail time?

Maybe he just tripped & fell.

Racist people against whites and our founding fathers. Throw them all in jail for 10+ years 😎

If TMZ was filming this I hope they get 10yrs in Federal Prison

THEY ARE NOT PROTESTORS THEY ARE CRIMINALS! Analyze the video, find them, arrest them and send them to jail.

Send them to prison

Good!

I read/saw a joke about ' who are the smartest people in USA..? Answer : the Tourist!

Ten years in prison my ass. It’s empty hollow threats like these that empowers these anarchists. POTUS

Future Prison Inmates act senselessly as America plans to Rebuild and Replace the statue of the EXCELLENT Explorer Christopher Columbus.

Prison. 10 years. Lol

Good. Why idolize a man who lead the genocide of the original people of the land 80% of those people were killed or enslaved.

Baltimore is a dump anyway. No wonder they throw stuff in their waterways.

So gross. What a bunch of uneducated fools.

But....why though

So they polluted the water The same people that believe in Climate change throw a Statue in the harbor YOU CANT FIX STUPID They dont even know who Columbus was. Teachers dont teach history They teach it's ok to be gay THATS THE PARENTS JOB

For the record ⬇️

It would be better to go at this diplomatically. This destruction appears as that to everyday Americans...just destruction. People get turned off from the cause because of the vitriol. It is time to calm TF down.

Colonizer

Columbus statue in Baltimore... Makes sense.

Idiots!!

Prejudice against Italians

Lol enjoy a decade in prison

I don’t know about you all, but I’m feeling a step closer to racial harmony 🤪

Why are the protestors knocking down statues of our great Americans?

That city is a thug, hoodrat ghetto city. I don’t like the statue but we are based off of laws not thuggery actions.

Scum

he going swimmin

Wish it would’ve fallen on top of the “protestors” like last time. For shame.

The darks won’t be satisfied until all of history is gone

That statue will finally erode in 2 seconds in the Bal Harb

Man wish it would have landed on some of the protesters like last time.

columbus: out

We face it, remember it, learn from it & don't try to hide or erase it. God bless America. Land of the free. Where all men are created equal. 🇺🇸🗽
