BREAKING: Baltimore protesters have pulled down a statue of Christopher Columbus and thrown it into the city's Inner Harbor.

BALTIMORE — Baltimore protesters pulled down a statue of Christopher Columbus and threw it into the city’s Inner Harbor on Saturday night.

Demonstrators used ropes to topple the monument near the Little Italy neighborhood, news outlets reported. Protesters mobilized by the death of George Floyd at the hands of police have called for the removal of statues of Columbus, among others. They say the Italian explorer is responsible for the genocide and exploitation of native peoples in the Americas.Statues of Columbus have also been toppled or vandalized in cities such as Miami; Richmond, Virginia; St. Paul, Minnesota; and Boston, where one was decapitated.

Find them and let’s get their 10 year prison sentence started.

So what was his crime? He was just looking for a new route to India.

Yamiche That’s not helping anything.

It’s not a problem, let them have their fun. Get some CCTV. I 🤔mean Columbus was racist and he probably used diesel for his boat 🚤 🤫🤭

Yamiche Good.

These people are a product of a Democrat run Board of Education. So they are a little shaky on the facts.Good news is Baltimore has a bunch of Republicans who have just won some elections ..let’s hope for the best.

RepKinzinger CC was a horrible human, open a history book

DineshDSouza And the leadership threw up thei hands an said there is nothing they can do! How about they buck up an DO THE JOB THEY ARE BEING PAID FOR. Protect your citizens and call in the NG!

Jail. No mercy. Look at the picture of Reagan . No mercy

I’m not a fan of the guy either but that’s still vandalism. Activism doesn’t excuse crime. If the community doesn’t want a statue, have a damn town meeting and VOTE to have it removed. All this does is make you (and by extension your cause) look barbaric. Be better.

Disgraceful. Lock those some bitches up!!

columbus was the jeffrey epstein of the 15th century

Retarded people

Any removal of any statue should be accomplished by going through the proper channels.

DineshDSouza Sounds like ISIS. Take over and destroy all signs of history.

DineshDSouza Bunch of life-long losers who, together across their entire pointless lives, will never even come close to approaching the courage, vision, perseverance & achievements of Columbus. They can throw every statue of every great man of history into the sea, yet still always be losers.

Put them in jail

The only thing that has been done is cause more hate more racism. Removing statues, etc., is like breaking the top of your tooth & leaving in the root. Defeats the purpose. history past learn teach change

10 year prison sentences then?

good Christopher Columbus never discovered America

Why are there statues honoring a man who couldn't figure out the directions to get to USA. He belongs in the ocean because that's the only thing he discovered. 🤷🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤔😬

Wanton destruction

That statue should have been thrown away many years ago. His role in history is a huge lie. That holiday should be for native Americans

Cool. Columbus was such a douche he died in prison in his own time. Imagine being so horrible even by 16th century standards that he died in disgrace. Columbus as a “hero” is a lie.

What did Columbus do anyways

parrot_this Way to go!

Yamiche About time

DevinCow Good riddance.

defundBaltimore

Yamiche Like the Boston Tea Party?! 😂🤯✌

But Americans cheered when they ripped down the statue of Saddam? Can't have it both ways guys 👍

Really pray to God for Trump to remain calm till elections, than I love the smell of napalm in the morning 😎

DineshDSouza The USA is divided between those who are educated and those who aren’t. The latter throw statues into harbors and vandalize our country! Time to arrest

See these cucks in about 10 years

sandratrevino There are many other Italians worthy of a statue. Columbus, in the name ofSpain and Christianity was a terrorist.

Really going for all the Confederate statues, aren't they?

Finally! Can we stop celebrating rapist slaver who was bad at everything he tried to do day?

HerschaftAP Oh that’s smart, because an inanimate object is the worst threat to people in Baltimore. Well everything should be better now!

parrot_this Let’s round them up and get their 10 years started ASAP!

This is what Trump means by Make America Great Again.

Groups search for consensus, individuals search for truth

Columbus eradicated the Arowak Indian tribe in Jamaica.

Tragic!

DineshDSouza About as much a “protester”, as the guys who stormed th U.S. Embassy in Iran, were “students”!

Jali_Cat 10 years

OH WOOOOOOOOOW 👀👀👀👀👀

Jali_Cat This will fix everything, well done!

As an Italian American I protest to what they did, we will not except it!

iansmadrig Works for me, since the Native Americans didn't need being 'Discovered'.

Lol, I so don’t hate this

Is that the guy who 'discovered' America like there wasn't people living there already?

Well he was an ethnic cleanser, kids learn that in school now.

Full-term babies aborted, Vulnerable Seniors in Nursing Homes, Statues....you're next!

Yamiche Great

Why don't they just remigrate to the countries they came from...

Protest this. Then get back to me. Misguided.

RepKinzinger Happy to see your response to the tearing down of the statue of Columbus. Insane indeed! What can be done about the riots across the nation. It is upsetting to many “everyday” citizens. When does it stop? Glad for Trump at this point! God forbid Biden wins. GG

Assholes

Not his fault he landed on the continent. He was looking for India🤷‍♂️

The peaceful protesters are not the ones who yanked it down

Does this mean we won’t have Columbus Day off in the future...? Wtf...

Good

So now that the the statues are falling are we removing the holidays named after the same people? Asking because this about to cut my banks vacations down by 10-12 😁

Ignorance of the fact that the sailors on the Santa Maria were volunteers looking for America. What did these vandals achieve?

DineshDSouza Hope everyone that participated ends up in jail.

Yes go ahead get rid of the statue if it makes you happy but dispose of it properly FFS

💪BLM

These are not protesters they are terrorist paid terrorists

It was the only time Columbus reached the shore of the American continent. [🥁 rim shot]

Good. He was a vile man.

I detect a racist slip is showing in that choice of picture.

Columbus never even set foot in America and had nothing to do with the Cree, Navajo or Cherokee And certainly not Baltimore..

What did he had to with the cop shooting anyone? PROTESTERS ARE STUPID.

Why was this allowed?

I’m sure the statue slipped and fell into the water...

I was taught theres a legal process to follow if you want to remove a statue- guess disagrees?

Anarchy

😢 how dare they do that?

Next, they need to 'topple' Donald Trump, a PutinsPuppet and the Devil himself. RemoveTrumpNow

Fuck Christopher Columbus and the genocide he brought from Europe

From the sea he came and to the sea he shall return

Let that sink in.

DineshDSouza So destruction of government property and illegal dumping is okay now? This is a thing?

If you're an American citizen, you're a recipient of his discovery. Throw yourself in the water.

Polluting the harbor and forcing tax payers to foot the bill for recovering it. Way to go dopey ass protestors.

I though trump had this all under control 😂

SpeakerPelosi, this is occurring in a city once run by your father and your brother. Your silence is an insult to Italians.

AudreyAurus1 Mutabaruka_Ja ...Christopher Columbus I Burning Spear!

hutchinson It's the past ffs has anybody alive today been affected? No, stop being complete dickheads

And the fake news rejoice

Good for them! 👏🏼

Idiots

People that are caught doing shit like this should be banned from EVER receiving Federal / State aide, including student loans.

It's about time, he was an asshole like Trump!

So more pollution into the water good job

Water boarding comes to mind?

RepKinzinger Why weren’t they arrested

FREAKS

Can't wait to see them put their hand out asking for federal dollars to rebuild.

Protestors. Lol. No. They’re violent Marxists.

Throwing a STATUTE into the water isn't anything compared to the HORRORS the real Columbus did to REAL Native Americans. Let's talk about THAT!

but but the great leader said only yesterday Columbus ' discovered america ' I suppose 70yr ago when trump started school thats what they taught?

Columbus finally discovered water

Why dont they build up rather than tear down?

I’ve been saying all along that destroying this very statue will solve the astronomical murder rate of Baltimore. Well done!

nicknicknick01 Nice.

Good.

How far do protesters want to go with this. Why don't they tear up there dollar bills to or burn down Churches. People want change but don't want to change themselves.

Our Country The U.S. of America is No longer a Super Power. We have a leader who is destroying our country's history. To read that the statue of Columbus was destroyed. What happen in our history we should be proud of what our ancestors accomplished. JoeBiden nytimes mjfree

This is ridiculous 🤦‍♂️

Find them. Jail them for 20 years.

DineshDSouza 10 years in jail can’t wait to catch the assholes

BobbyLongNews 🏆🏆🏆🏆

Where are the moderate politicians? There has to be one or does the media have that much control? Defund the politicians for continuously dividing us.

I

Wonderful political ad to vote out democrats & Marxists, excuse me those are basically the same political opinion. Election2020

And who is prosecuting the offenders? What possess someone to take a piece of history and trash it. They are just criminals & destructive vandals - no better than those who beat GeorgeFloyd ! Protesters want to re-write history just like ClintonCrimeFamily does!

Dank af

I have always been a bit confused why there is a day for Christopher Columbus? The Indians were already here. Also he has nothing to do with the founding of America.

Oh no!! Who’s next? Marco Polo?!? Scusi..

Sheep!

Just like the Boston Tea Party; only instead of tossing tasty tea into the harbor they threw the statue of a genocidal rapist into the water.

And you love it! Uhhhhh

Next do that statue of Ronald Reagan in front of it.

Your having a great time now AP and rest of dems. But regardless of election outcomes you are going to pay the price for the destruction of the black community and others and it’s not going to be pretty.

maggieNYT 15th century exployer, ppl! Get a freaking life.

No, you mean thugs. Protesters don't destroy property, criminals do. Let's hope they can be identified and tossed in jail where they belong.

DineshDSouza

Aw man, that was somebody's 5th grade history teacher. Pretty cool how he's a diving instructor now.

Maybe it will make its way down to the Caribbean where he ACTUALLY “discovered” North America.

Heroes walk among us.

News flash: just because a statue is taken down by anarchists doesn't mean that history is re-written. We remember history, the good and the bad so that we don't repeat it!

DuffMacDonald When mob rules no one is safe. Be careful what you do. A nation has laws and people can vote to change them. Stop the riots.

So only the protesters get to decide what goes, what stays?

That'll fix things for sure. All this destruction is only making them lose ppl that agree on police reform. So damn stupid.

The people of Little Italy must be pissed.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

julianahatfield But Trump JUST said he would 'never allow an angry mob to tear down our statues'. It's like they weren't even listening to his speech. 🤔

From one of the armpit cities of the US, is anyone really surprised!? Come on.. it's Baltimore.

charming

DineshDSouza If it wasn't for Columbus, today everyone would be pulling down statues of Aztecs instead.

Arrest them all!

Disgusting.

theslimdude Good news! Bring all the racist statues down!!

Prosecute them. Let them fool off in prison

DineshDSouza Why don’t they tear down the Egyptian pyramids because they were built by slaves?

10 yrs in jail is a long time.

The phony Left believes that only politically useful Black Lives Matter The phony Left doesn't care about the environment-at all.

Italian hate

Why? Wtf? So ridiculous!! If you want change, you need to vote, not destroy property

JoeFreedomLove Why is this allowed to happen

DineshDSouza Imbeciles animals! 😡

In my administration, people that destroy public property will be prosecuted! HomerJSimpson2020

Backed by the Dems

Sorry MFers

Sewer would be more fitting.

Whoa...

And then they wonder why people are running them down with cars

They are excited. I am not excited. I am angry. They need to stop this immediately! They can move on like out of the United States.

Hope it’s worth ten years in prison

This is what happens when you give in to these thugs! They don’t know or care about history or justice, they are just vandals looking to destroy

Funny how the press ignores protests unless something 'violent' happens.

bwahahahaha

Però nonostante ciò erano grati al nuovo mondo. E Colombo era un modo di tenere i legami con la madrepatria. L'ignoranza è una brutta cosa, attenzione americani che ai talebani che avete in casa, vi stanno portendo nel medio evo.

Gente stupida! La maggior parte delle statue di Colombo che ci sono i giro per l'America sono donazioni fatte dalla comunità italo-americana, che nei secoli scorsi ha sofferto molto, es: Sacco e Vanzetti o il linciaggio New Orleans del 14/3/1891.

maggieNYT He discovered America. He wasn't perfect but he discovered America.

TheHoff305 This offends me & should be ripped down ALONG with every other statue of this traitor. Obama was the great divider, in office (with his partner Sloppy Joe JoeBiden) for 8 yrs & he did nothing for ‘his’ people of color, not even Chicago. TAKE THIS STATUE DOWN ! Obama = DIVISION

👍✊❤️

Criminals and idiots.

Those who think this has gone too far should have taken down the damn confederacy memorials decades ago.

ASSHOLES. RESIST LIBERALS RESIST LIBERALS.

Looks like no one is afraid of that Wee Man in the White House

DineshDSouza Thank you mayor of Baltimore

DineshDSouza So destruction of property and polluting waterways....

Glad we can put all that behind us. Lmao.

So we build a better one that’s more beautiful and secure and throw those creeps in jail!

maggieNYT Could care less, those are inanimate objects, put them in museums, in the meantime, let’s worry about the thousands of Americans dying everyday from the coronavirus, with the wealth in this country, the number of dead is outrageous!

AP reported yesterday that Trump was crazy for saying the Radical Left was trying to tear down our history.

While no supporter of Columbus, Columbus Day or statues of him, there is a legal process for removing statues as others already done... What was done in Baltimore was not it and is in fact a crime like any other.

DineshDSouza Protestors are peaceful. These are still rioters you propagandists.

Restore 1491

Breaking : angry mob vandalizes public statue

Afterwards they went back to shooting each other

Make the scumbag protestors pay for clean up

That's sad that Baltimore doesn't care about the person that started their the great free life they enjoy

Outrageous!

Christopher Columbus still discovered America cant tear that down and even if he didn't the Spanish would've conquered the land either way the Indians were f*cked y'all really think they'd be left unmolested still chilling in tee pees in 2020 foh.

Good.

Fuck Baltimore. They voted for this shit. Own it. The problems of blue cities are no longer my concern. Just let it burn to the ground.

DineshDSouza Hope they think it's worth 10 years in prison!

VA FANCULO 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕😡😡😡😡😡🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹

This is fake news, that statue tripped and fell into the river, and I heard later they found weed at its house, and it had a previous DUI.

Hell yeah

Yamiche Any Person or Group of people pulling down statures is helping Trump get re- elected. These people need to legislate and get statues removed properly. Don’t give Trump any ammunition for his Law and Order Campaign! Quit Helping Trump!

Oh, my. How will we ever know who accidentally discovered the Americas and committed genocide against indigenous peoples?

Italians aren’t saying much about it

Trump2024

I believe tax payers money paid for all the statues. Or at least city tax. They were not free

It’s about damn time... I get celebrating history, but this Asshole got lost, didn’t ‘discover’ anything but failure & kidnapped / sold young girls. He was trash. Why did he have a statue in the FIRST place? First Patriarchal Fucktard in America 🤷🏻‍♀️

Throw Reagan 🤣👍

Still discovering so long after his death.

Trump should be honoring our live soldiers instead of dead solgers that attempted to destroy our Union and Democray.

Fuck it....

I don't need statues of Jesus to believe in him and be a Christian. I also don't need statues of Columbus to celebrate Columbus Day. It changes nothing.

I’ve never understood celebrating Columbus. Vile man. Anyway, my concern is, that the message is going to get lost if these statues are removed through violence rather than debate and conversations.

Good!

Let’s all get this stopped already

Columbus didn’t discover jack squat

Italians in Baltimore should be ashamed to allow these thugs to come into thier neighborhood and start destroying things!

What goes around, comes around.

DineshDSouza Jail them!

maggieNYT He tripped

Maybe protest the record setting murders in your neighborhoods

Stop calling them protestors

DineshDSouza Oh my gosh! When will the madness end? When will these animals be locked up? I’ve had enough!

American idiots.

It's the kind of thing that makes it difficult to take protests seriously. Their message is lost every time they do something destructive.

DineshDSouza That’s awesome - I guess racism has been dealt a death knell? I would have asked for a specific policy that resolves what they consider racism. Who is stupid, the protesters or the media that inspires them?

How could they trash such an important immigrant?

Leftists are assholes

So now we're giving credit to the ignorant, assuming they actually read something of historical value. On top of that, is 500 year old history even accurate?

Yamiche Wow BLMTerrorists yell, 'What a shithole. We don't want to live there!' Context: SorosFundsRiots and the BLMTerrorists don't really live there. Proofing the don't care about black lives.

If you are unhappy with the statue, write to the city council to remove it. Vadalism is a crime.

So Columbus set sail again?

Yamiche Wow Breaking YamiMamiDingDong celebrates the destruction of tax payer art by thugs and BLMTerrorists. Context: more proof DemocratsHateAmerica and FakeNewsMedia is EnemyOfThePeople and supports DementiaJoe. Its clear we need to VoteRedToSaveAmerica.

MrTrashWheel is going to struggle with dealing with that...

DineshDSouza Assholes

This is a good place to start...

maggieNYT The reckoning...we can only kick the van down the road for so long, generations of folks have accepted sugar coated truths, no longer.

In a civilized society you don’t destroy public or private property because it offends you.

Good Do more

DineshDSouza Democrats sure are destructive.

To-do list: Take Reagan's name off every building it's on.

Well, I am calling to keep calm. 'Change' of 'symbols' must be a legal process (aoc 😉) with the join of the government = machines and workers. The point is: The budget for 'the new'. I suggest, in this case, changed after a citizen votation on radio; by example. FT WSJ BBC

Rioters (D)

America will survive. It’s strong enough.

Good trouble

You misspelled Terrorists

We know only what they teach in schools and what we choose to believe.

BREAKING (Correction): Group of anarchists and agitators seen violating Maylands Malicious Destruction Law (Title 6, Subtitle 1, §6-301) & Litter Control Law (Title 10, Subtitle 1, §10-110). Could face 5 years and $30,000 in fines if convicted.

To-do list: Take down Reagan's name off every building it's on.

Good

Plenty of video of the crime on the internet, should be easy to identify at least half of them. Arrest them all and charge them under Trump's executive order.

drawandstrike 'Democrat' protesters.

The next time I want to be around lunatics, I'll visit the Inner Harbor.

Who? Doesn't everyone know now that the statue is gone the history is erased!? How can anyone possibly remember who that guy was if the statue isn't there!! This story can't be true! Columbus is no longer real!

The C party.

Why America has a Christopher Columbus statue in the first place is beyond me.

The Inner Harbor is dead to me.

That’s called rioting. Not protesting. Protesting is peaceful. Rioting is destructive. They’re not protesters. They’re criminals.

As well they should, of all the Italians to be proud of, this genocide loving moron be not one

I hope someone gets arrested.

maggieNYT Good

I mean you could work on repairing Baltimore but do you

So, they polluted

I bet you most of those agitators wouldn’t know any history behind the statues.

DineshDSouza They are scum.

And of course left it in the water to be dragged out by city workers. Fabulous.

Pity that Reagan was not still there to join Columbus.

Ahem. Christopher Columbus was nothing more than an evil bloodthirsty pirate who hated the Natives!

Yamiche Take that trump!

Columbus had nothing to do with North America or the United States. He landed in what’s now the Bahamas and Venezuela. Why he has ever been honored for anything is ridiculous.

I'M SICK OF THIS SHIT! WHATEVER YOU THINK OF THE CONTENT, ARTISTS & ARTISANS WHO ARE NOT POLITICALLY MOTIVATED MADE THESE STATUES, AND THERE IS NO REASON WE CANNOT HAVE THEM TAKEN DOWN RATHER THAN DESTROYED

Oh well, Trump is commissioning more statues and monuments to be built because of these destructive douche bags. Trump2020LandslideVictory

Domestic terrorism.

That’ll just piss off the Italians

Protesters Vandals

DineshDSouza NOW ALL THE BALTIMORE MOBSTERS WHO DID THAT NEED TO FOLLOW HIM WHOM THEY DROWNED: THROWN THEM ALL OUT PUSHING HARD INTO THE DEPTHS OF THE CITY INNER HARBOR WATERS AS WELL.

Chinchillazllla

AP mislabeles vandals as ‘protestors’ EnemyOfThePeople

DineshDSouza They have nothing better to do than destroy.

DineshDSouza President Reagan said, “Our loss of liberty is never more than one generation away from extinction.” Remember that, believe it, we are now there. Wake up, America! Defend our country, our flag, our rights ... while you still can.

They just removed it

DineshDSouza ❤🤍💙 GOD BLESS AMERICA! Stand beside her, guide her thru the night with Light from above. Let America be the city on the hill to the rest of the world. LORD, every day we need your grace more and more. Thank you, LORD, that You are forever faithful, even when we are not. ❤🤍💙

DineshDSouza “MILLIONS FLEE TO HER ... BUT FEW FLEE FROM HER.” Our worst critics have the FREEDOM to leave at any time and yet ... even they choose to remain in the land of the FREE! Free because of our BRAVE! Thank you to all who’ve sacrificed to protect our sacred FREEDOM!

Americans have no trouble pulling down statues of dictators in the middle east, but somehow have the gall to defend a doofus who can’t do math, enslaved people, massacred entire populations.

The Baltimore police need to hunt down these hoodlums and make examples of them... What are we paying for police for... Guard our nations treasures dam it!

I’m learning so much more history as some of these statues come down.

Next: Howard Zinn textbooks for miseducation of a generation.

DevinCow So...

Another trophy glorifying a failed human bites the dust.

DineshDSouza Black Lives matter for some blacks is out of control

Stop the insanity!

Disgraceful

benbrown The Police should have stopped this scum.

I say, we in Europe must wokely and mandatorily forget the existence of the new world!

Sounds good to me.

I hope it was one of those cost you 10 years statues. Suck Idiots (misspelling intended).

DineshDSouza Came from the sea, went back to the sea.

Filthy animals.

hutchinson Please don't throw garbage into the river. Rivers are already polluted enough as it is.

How strange

Columbus lived less than 12 years after the sins he is accused, indebted to history power and financiers for a visionary enterprise in those times, breaking down a statue sins of those who have thrived a lifetime without make any other contribution to progress are amended?

DineshDSouza Baltimore is another city that should be defunded by the Federal Government, along with Minneapolis, Seattle and NYC...have your protesters chip in to bail you out...

No one looks at statues anyhow....Their only purpose is to collect bird droppings. Such would be the case if a statue is ever erected for Donnie Trump.

Now it's time to eliminate Columbus Day and replace it with National Voting Day.

They are not protestors

They should realize that they are living monuments of colonization. So by their own rationale, unless they were native americans, they should also throw themselves into the sea.

Good.

DineshDSouza This has got to stop.

He came across the sea and he was returned to the sea. Fitting burial

when does the Mayflower leave for the return trip, it would be a great act of hypocrisy to stay there ?

Where is local leadership? Police? Are there no laws anymore?

Ppl can't just remove what they think is not proper. It needs a process.

Yamiche When does the new one go up?

To the people who are celebrating lawlessness. Remember my words. You sat back or joined in spirit to this bad behavior. Wait until you have a different opinion or believe. Next they will be putting ropes around peoples necks and throwing them into the river.

It should have come down, but not this way

That's perfectly reasonable if the city won't take it down. That guy in particular deserves no statue. Fucking monster..

As a Viking I aprove this!! They should put a statue of Leifur Eiriksson instead.

Columbus was a criminal. Fuck him.

DineshDSouza Stop paying EBT/welfare to arrested/documented terrorists.😎

Thats not the news. It’s a piece of metal. How many people were there & what was their reason for doing this? Why the fascination with these symbols, & reporting on them? To me that isn’t the story. “where one was decapitated”....C’mon, it’s not a person. There’s a difference.

Its 2020 dont let people today who are fed up with injustice in america be the scapegoat for this. Campaigns to have these monuments removed began in the 60s & 70s its not new more TRUTH is out there. We faultered altered TRUTH denied TRUTH & now were paying for it. REVOLUTION

After he went through all that trouble discovering Camden Yards? Tragic.

Columbus Confederate Sadistic doctors. These monuments its time for the American government American historians American educational system to tell the TRUTH yes the truth can & will hurt. Time to tell the exact TRUTH. Documented Truth unconditional TRUTH.

What gives mobs the right to destroy property that offends them?

I'm glad that Columbus discovered 'America' 500 years ago Otherwise it would take another 500 years to find out that people all around the world have red blood and should be treated equally

Seriously! How many statues do you people have?

🤷‍♂️

Forth of July too, what a statement!

Stop calling them protestors

Hell yeah!

No one has the courage to prosecute even one of these? Not a serious country.

I hope that eases their guilt for a day or two, when they can go back to their institutional racism. And maybe they can update the silly names of Columbus’ ships.

Yes, discovering America was an unforgivable mistake.

Good. It’s time to change the world.

There is barely a single leader/explorer etc. from world history who wasn't cruel and treated people badly. Yet people seem to be shocked and want to tore down statues when they learn about how violent the world used to be.

Someone should update the location of the statue on Google Maps.

Trumps order withholds federal funding to cities that don’t protect statues from demonstrators. Looks like Baltimore is about to lose some Federal money realDonaldTrump

JoeFreedomLove 'Protesters' ? No. They're Democrats.

I heard that when he was sailing around discovering the New World he was actually transporting slaves and he’s finally been found out that’s good ?

Uneducted stupid mob of the street. CristobalColon himself driven Not by Gold plunder He is comparable to those innovators who beg for money who are Not interested in their mission. Surrendered to greedy investors he lost his own mission & freedom FiveNations Passport matters.

Translation: Domestic terrorists in Baltimore toppled a statue of Christopher Columbus, the Spanish explorer who in 1492 was searching for a shorter trade route to Asia. He accidentally collided with an unkown continent and proved the earth is globe, rather than a pancake.

Why they are doing this?

Most people don’t need statues of oppressors to learn about history.

Columbus did nothing wrong ;)

If they’re tearing down statues, why aren’t they tearing down mosques for all the slave trading that continues to this day?

Awesome 👏🏾

aarenp Oops! It slipped!

Take Ronald Reagan with you Chris 💩👎🏼🤮

The Baltimore Statue Party

DineshDSouza They'll soon be getting a visit from the FBI.

Appalling brats

So not only are the terrorists destroying the country they're polluting it as well?

FuckTrump realDonaldTrump

Terrorists

Good👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

These statues represent the past . They show us where we came from and how we have progress as a nation. They are part of our story. They should be put in a museum not vandalized.

Glad it’s down. After reading about the Accusations of tyranny and brutality of Columbus in Wikipedia, I now know what a cruel and deranged person he was with the dismembering body parts and public shaming.

Where were the Italians...?! 🇮🇹

literElly Excellent

AdedePaor He was an immigrant though. The same as all Americans

I feel bad for the harbor.

...I am sorry to admit this, and by no means do I condone this sort of destructive shenanigans...but I wouldn't know, nor if I did know would I care one whit, a Christopher Columbus statue if it bit me on the tukus and wouldn't let go.

realDonaldTrump GoJackFlynn

And the ducking Caribs were cannibals who preyed on the OTHER Native Indigenous peoples BEFORE Columbus. And ate Verrazzano on his 3rd voyage.

Baltimore is a shithole.

Well done Baltimore!

I thought Columbus was a good dude

DineshDSouza And who cares

DineshDSouza God people are babies, if he didn’t discover America blacks would still be slaves in Africa just for other blacks, whites would be ruled by a king and America would be another 3rd world country as natives have not done any great things on the reservations.

Really, your city is full of crime and this you have energy for

Freedemic

DineshDSouza These left wing Snowflakes are so f..up it's sickening! This just assume that Columbus did not discover America. Non of us would even be hear to celebrate our Independence. America wouldn't exist..the greatest country in the freaking WORLD! Sick Left!!

Loathsome and down right despicable!

Just a reenactment, seems like they got confused with the tea party in Boston though. Close enough, happy 4th of July.

History repeating itself in a reconfigured iteration.

DineshDSouza You encouraged it.

Some people always Forgetting lifetime is upside down during Hostry NOTHING stays on Sam please all the time.!!

Who the fuck is stoking division, it's you, the hate porn press!

Impeached President Donald J Trump instigated the toppling of a statue of Christopher Columbus.

DineshDSouza Nice the police needs to end this

🤔 They know he was Spanish right? 🧐 🙄

How dare anyone do this? Regardless of your feelings, this is a priceless object that should never be treated in such a caviler manner. The perps should be persecuted to the full extent of the law and and to pay retribution. Surely there are better ways to show discontent.

DineshDSouza Just gotta get one of them and that’s 10 plus years in prison!! A little pressure and they will give up the others!! This stupidity has to end!!

Baltimore is fucked. Let it burn.

Cool.

Good !!! Holiday for this loser is BS. Shipwreck Columbus never made it to American shores and the fact is the Vikings were here 600 years before Columbus was born. They were in as far as Minnesota Replace shipwreck day with VIKINGS DAY.

They must stop destroying the country. Can somebody stop them already? Lock them up!

And no police officer stopped this from happening ? Anyone going to be arrested for this? This is anarchy

maggieNYT Don't forget the tea!

If we're tearing down statues of ppl who never set foot on North America such as Columbus, then can we tear down the Stalin statue in Seattle?

DineshDSouza Achieving nothing worthwhile except highlighting how wrong their opinions are. You can't change the past. You havn't changed the past. Coloumbus was a great and pioneering explorer and sea-farer. Monuments are to learn from the past.

They’re anarchists, not protesters.

POTUS realDonaldTrump when is this going to stop ? Where are others to stop this!?

Good. Homeboy was a prick anyway

These people will be spend ing 10 years in prison. Wonder if they think it was funny then.

Good

DineshDSouza now CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS is a bad figure in history, people our nuts

Yamiche Out of control

hell yeah!

Klantifa polluting waterways doesn't seem ecologically sound

Glub glub glub

Nice

FakeNews They were not 'protesters.' They were rioters.

POTUS I know you big MAD eh?

DCAbloob WTF GovLarryHogan !!! Did Herr Hogan forget to protect our history Giving into the fucking mob Do your orders not apply to Riots You'll arrest a business order, but lawlessness is acceptable

maggieNYT Ten years. Hope they got good footage.

Everyone who agrees with pulling down the CC statue and arrived in North America after 1492 need to GTFO or admit you're a hypocrite.

ps9714 Bye Felicia

ps9714 Bravo!!

DevinCow

Better get rid of the all monument and sites as at one time in history all race have done evil. History has significance, when you close an eye you are more blinded than ever.

Now fish it back out, set it out in the sun for a few days, then haul it to the nearest foundry and toss it in the smelter.

😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊

This kind of nonsense is why I love watching the Seattle driver 'bowling for losers'.

By the way AP, you mean rioters, those were NOT protestors!!! Trump

these people should have been jailed nothing less then destruction of taxpayer property why we have court or address release to the public so we can visit heir home and loot and trash them since their property has no value it seems.

Shameful.

Protesters or trumps henchmen acting like protesters.

Where were you BaltimorePolice ?

Columbus, Cortes and Pizzaro are 3 of the biggest terrorists of all-time.

As Baltimore PD watches

Amazing 👏🏽

Can we please focus this energy towards real and more significant issues like mass incarceration, police brutality, criminal justice system......PLEASE!!!! BlackLivesMattters

Seriously fuck these people. I wish them all tremendous ill will

History can be good or bad & we might like it or not. But it’s important to know history & study it so to plan the future from lessons learned. You can’t take out history bcs you don’t like it. Simply it can’t be changed!

Good!

Petulant children throw a temper tantrum

When they destroy public property, they are vandals, not protestors. Sadly, the longer this violence goes on, the further we get from working together to resolve inequality or injustice. Violence only serves to turn off people who otherwise support the cause.

Yassssssss

Good.

Who cares. A city with no promise just made itself more insignificant.

Good

Awesome

Is this a good time to say ‘Happy 4th’?

DineshDSouza Serious questions for you… If Columbus hadn’t come here, how many of us would never have been born? Do you hate your life that much?

Democrats creating anarchy in the US. Could it be funded by Chinese to overthrow Trump?

BernieSanders these are your guys doing this!

RepKinzinger Good

That's my people. You can take the girl out of Baltimore... but...

WonderJaye

DineshDSouza If it’s a federal statue...10 years!

Good!

DineshDSouza Why were they not shot? Who allowed this?

Welp we went from the 1920’s straight back to the 1700s

DineshDSouza Maybe that will solve all of the murders in Baltimore. 2 in murder in the US but statues, my friends, are the real issue at hand.

YES!!!!

Yes!

Hey y'all, even Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand stripped Columbus of his governorship when they heard of his actions. If the supporters of the darn Spanish Inquisition thought he went too far, he may have gone too far.

Lest there be any doubt that democrats hate Italians, and any proud Italian-Americans.

there is a legal way to go about removing statues... then, there is the other way...

ComeToMyWidow How the hell?!😂

DineshDSouza We need a civil war to cleanse these communists

Why are the white people called protestors? They're rioters

DineshDSouza As a US citizen, don’t these statues belong to me too?

DineshDSouza Guess the Baltimore Mayor didn’t feel like enforcing the rule of law A Democrat perhaps?

DineshDSouza I thought that was mandatory jail time

Muh is all a statute's fault.....

RepKinzinger Baltimore is a **** place anyway.

DineshDSouza Gatherings of more than 10 people is currently prohibited. They should all be cited.

throneofthesun

DineshDSouza I sure hope our President, Donald J. Trump (love saying that) is waiting 4 them 2 stop pulling all the statues down & the 1,000s responsible locked up or severely fined ... 2 announce that everyone of the damaged or destroyed items R being repaired or rebuilt stronger than B4 !!!

DineshDSouza Another blue state

Yamiche

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Throw them all in Prison!!!!!!!!

DineshDSouza Apparently Italian Americans don't mean much in this country. Millions of immigrants worked hard to contribute to building them and our country & this is allowed to happen. Every monument must be protected! Every one taken down is a piece of our country destroyed. Irreplaceable!

If you read history. He was a pretty heinous character. Probably not deserving of a statue

Yamiche Now we celebrate 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Good riddens. 💪🏽✊🏽

Protesters? Rioters. Lock 'em up.

And while at it, how racist is it to call the White House , White And how about - dynamite Mount Rushmore BLMMOVEMENT Baltimore BidensCognitiveDecline

Tripped and fell.

DineshDSouza DemocratsDividingAndDestroyingAmerica Trump2020NowMoreThanEver

Grazie!

He was a rapist of young girls and a seller of humans!

And Democrats think they’re going to win the election?

Why?

fuck yeah

Fuck yeah!!!! Resist

Idiots

You know, these are the same people who give me shit for throwing my McDonald’s bag in the inner harbor.

Awesome

callanj70 NO!!! COLUMBUS FIND AMERICA!!! NO RESPECT!!! NATIVE AMERICANS GO BACK TO YOUR COUNTRY!! COLUMBUS DID

sandratrevino See, who needs red tape when you can just do it yourself?

DineshDSouza Pulling down a city statue is nothing to be proud of. Denigrating your city is embarrassing. Does anyone have a brain in that city

DevinCow And now everything will be better.

These protestors are out of control.

DineshDSouza Arrest the bastards!

I will never tire of these stories.

I can think of dozens of Italians who deserve a statue more than Columbus!!!

All of Trump's speeches, and all of Barr's men, ... couldn't keep the nation's statues up again.

DineshDSouza Vandals, not protesters.

DineshDSouza You mean rioters and anarchists.

DineshDSouza They aren’t protestors. They’re domestic terrorists.

Columbus discovered the Dominican Republic and Hati maybe it can float over there.

DineshDSouza TRACK THE CRIMINALS DOWN AND PUT THEM AWAY FOR A LONG TIME.

Old order is passed, new era in human history, we are now on the precipice of Global change

DineshDSouza Baltimore, another demoRat controlled cess pit

Dude awesome. Columbus didn't do shit but get lost & claim a land in order to hide his embarrassment

A step too far. No longer a protest, it’s public disorder and should be dealt with accordingly. Acts like this do not increase support but have a negative effect. You can’t erase history, but you can learn from it. Shall we erase Auswitz too ? think not. All lives matter.

DineshDSouza Left-wing scumbag criminals.

DineshDSouza What do you think NYGovCuomo Keep giving in! Your mom and ad will weep! Not to mention Fredo!!

DineshDSouza Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting.

DineshDSouza Marxist mob. Not protesters.

DineshDSouza I sincerely hope that everyone celebrating this act of lawlessness will happily accept similar acts committed against their property or public property they appreciate. You condone it now; you reap what’s coming.

Arrest them.

DineshDSouza Sad day in America when you let the mentally ill have free reign.

Good riddance

🤣

Animals

Those are NOT protestors. Those are anarchist losers. Learn the difference. Protestors are non violent & not destructive. Anarchists are destructive and and do not obey laws.

🤣🤣🤣

DineshDSouza All on video. 10 years in prison for each.

Since the first man stepped on a bug, history was inevitable. Men who understand the moon and the stars take from those who don't. We expand, we always have and continue to today. Columbus did just what anyone of us would have done in his time and you all are IDIOTS.

Good. Fuck that lost ass hat.

Well done! All the talk in the world wouldn’t have moved that statue. But don’t put up other figure heads either. Just leave statues to another era. Let’s move onto saving real people not imagined pasts.

Yeah baby 👏👏👏

DineshDSouza Stop calling them protesters. They’re fucking criminals and should be treated as such.

Chip off the ol'block.

Are you certain the statue didn't trip on its own?

DineshDSouza The historic, charming city devolved into a lawless, fleabag dump decades ago.

DineshDSouza ten years is not a light sentence

Terrorism.

DineshDSouza Columbus literally had nothing to do with United States. These people are just goblins frothing at the mouth. Stupid people.

Wow😂

DineshDSouza “Protesters”. You “journalists” can’t help yourselves.

Yamiche Now that’s how you spend the 4th of July 👏🏾👏🏾

Bwahahahahahahaha

Mobs

Perfect on the 4th!! Columbus was a genocidal monster & he should be in no place of honor, but relegated to history books as a cautionary tale of how NOT to greet a new people/culture…maybe if we’re lucky if/when aliens visit us publicly, they won’t “Columbus” us!! columbus

MamaJDrap

He’ll never find his way home now!😢😐😂ColumbusWasaGenocidalistJudgedRightlyAsSuchByTheStandardsOfHisTimes

Praise the lawd!

Warms my cold little heart

Until they go after the Georgia Guidestones none of it matters. Just part of the division from the small group who wants 90% of us dead. Race, Sex, Belief, none of it matters. It’s all a rich mans trick

James_Escarcega Was anybody arrested? Detained?

10 years for you!

KellieMeyerNews Bunch of idiots. Hope they find who did it and throw them in jail.

I would be more impressed if the protestors took the statue down and found it a home in a local museum. Destruction is less likely to change the future than teaching people about the past. Warts and all.

Can we push the 'protestors ' no they are rioters in tge river too

Ahhhhh PINO is raging! Poor guy.

Those are Terrorists, not demonstrators. Get it right! That's why they are going for historical figures. To eventually change History!

I'm glad to see that Baltimore is solving its problems. 👍🏻

A little focus would be more beneficial to affecting change. Attacking everything makes it easier to dismiss any one. Maybe that's the plan for some. Many think the Nazis burned down the Reichstag (their Parliament) as an excuse to take everyone's freedom.

It’s like they have forgotten what they are wanting. do they want justice and peace because they are using violence and vandalism to try to get it so then complain when the police finally stop it

stevelackmeyer Arrest them all.

They should have thrown the BaltimoreDems into the harbor. They have absolutely destroyed Baltimore.

They're not protesters at that point

They should be shot

I love it.

He’ll probably end up in India again.

TheRealStanRay 1773 Boston patriots threw tea in the harbor. Over a million bucks worth (today money)

Rioters

Joe_M_Douglass Hopefully some NativeAmericans were there to partake in the festivities.

Morons on parade.

Nice

maggieNYT Don't worry, when he washes up he'll claim he's in China.

Bunch of thugs. Just put em all on a sinking boat.

Oh Dear.... 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Gardening_Angel 1) If you win elections, you get to build bridges and name them. 2) They tried to erase Pharoah Akhenaten, failed, and it made no difference. Sooner or later we're all some history nerds PhD, or a tourist attraction IF they remember our names. Action2getherNJ KorsunNancy

Yamiche Columbus was a great American. What are we doing

Criminals are not protesters stop calling themprotesters.

Pulling down statues? It’s a tradition that dates back to U.S. independence Enthusiasm for the American Revolution led colonists to burn, disfigure, and deface any symbol of Britain and its hated king.

ANGNewsLA 10 years in jail!!!!!!!!!

Sad, so sad. Spent last year 4th in Annapolis. Beautiful & heartwarming parade, loved remembering those who sacrificed for our freedoms.

Yamiche Columbus will still not be able to locate the Baltimore harbor.

maggieNYT Don't think Columbus ever learned how to swim.

Bravo!!

And tomorrow they will still wake up in Baltimore. Who has the last laugh?

plalor Lolz

15 year old minds do a lot of crazy shit...

Protestors that mess with private property are now rioters.

Ridiculous.

😂😂

so they are ready for 10 years jail?

Good.

Yamiche Yay!!! Now replace it representing someone who wasn’t a murderous sociopath.

❤️

'Protesters' down here in Brasil we call this vandalists. But the left here also dont get jail time. You Just have to say the Wright (left) propaganda when they do it.

Rioters, insurrectionists... not “protestors”.

Crackmacs Hell yeah.

DevinCow Excellent work, Baltimore!

Wow I’m sure they’re proud of themselves, need to Tear down all the MLK statues they’re offensive too!!

Good

Arrest them all.

Sick 🤙

Trash rioters. Can’t understand a map TODAY.

I hope native Americans were the ones doing this. They're the group Columbus fucked over!

Sickening!

And this is why trump is gonna win again cuz you fuckers aren't doing anything to stop this

How are we different from ISIS, Taliban & Al Qaida? Please spare me the he took the land from the native, there is not a land on earth that is not taken fools, not one white saviors, not one but you would not know because your schools failed you, Americans are known to be stupid

Good

Hell yeah

And of course the police don’t stop them. :(

Liberals Terrorists strike again.

All while they continue to shatter every known record for annual black homicides, black violence in a city run by blacks, where the majority is black, where the leadership has been black & democrat for decades, yes sure this is about racism 🙆🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

hell yea

Folks need to stop with the lies that Columbus never set foot in North America. It's well known that he stopped by Baltimore for some lake trout.

I hope they are all arrested and serve 10 years.

❤️❤️❤️

Terrorists*

✔️

DrShayPhD You misspelled Baltimore *vandals.

That sounds like something Christopher Columbus would do

Good riddance. Perhaps a statue of someone who deserves to be glorified in its place?

How do these people organize? Who organizes them? Through Facebook? Who is their financier? Someone is arranging these mobs and paying them for sure.

Yamiche Tear them all down!!

Aren't you going to tell us how bad they are? We hear about how bad we are, why not them?

Baltimore will still be a shithole

Where were the cops?

Please, come to south Philly and throw ours in the Delaware River. Thanks in advance

Baltimore is a dangerous city. Law abiding citizens should move away.

: As the government of Raleigh N.c.did so BY the law Remove the statue of ROBERT E LEE: it has come to attention that a BUTTON from his Dress uniform , hair , & Confederate money was found inside a capsule IT NEEDS TO ARCHIVED ACCORDING TO LAW value in the 100s of thousands $

Yamiche I'll never know who Christopher Columbus was now

I’m a LIFE-LONG DEMOCRAT ....but I would prefer KANYE over orange 🍊 dude...any day! CRAY CRAY seems to be the THEME now!

And he didn't even own a single slave. What was the point then?

Madness of the crowds.

Protestors. lol

maggieNYT Splish, splash, he's a takin' a bath Long about a Saturday night, yeah

Christopher Columbus was a despot who ruled his subjects with an iron fist, according to documents which have emerged 500 years after his death. He routinely tortured slaves and starved his subjects in colonies on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola.

Boston Tea Party 2.0 IndependanceDay

Here is your last narrative going bye bye 👋

Yeah well.....I heard the statue was resisting arrest - and then he just tripped and fell into the water 🤷🏼‍♀️

maggieNYT Where it belong s

If only these people cared that much about all the people being murdered on the Baltimore streets every year....

*rioters *violent mob

Good! Columbus was a rapist and a theif!

That would be the first US territory he ever touched. Oh the irony! 🤔

It probably needed a bath.

They are not protestors, they are a criminal mob.

Who didn’t actually discover America. At best he “discovered” The Dominican Republic. Never set foot in “America”

Very poud of my peer Marylanders!

Good.

I’m watching fireworks.

haahhahahahahahahaha

DevinCow

Sounds good ✅ Get rid of that stupid Federal holiday too

these are not 'protesters' they are vandals

Great...keep that shit up!

OMGoshhhh🤦🏼‍♀️ these Terrorist running amok .... They’ve lost sight on everything ... the have hijacked BLM & made it their own cause .. how disrespectful ... oh their demands .. anybody or businesses that is accepting or supporting.... watch the silent demand win ✌🏻

Oh well, that’s how the first European who committed atrocities on Natives sinks

I care this much.

Where it belongs.

maggieNYT Tony Soprano and crew are gonna be pissed!

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Good!

Good job

this sucks it really does Im pretty disapointed Im a Steelers fan so the fact that Baltimore is being so cool hurts

Little Italy gonna be mad.

F Columbus. Murderer

Yamiche Most excellent!

Racism is over now. When are non native Americans moving back to our countries of origin? Do the Europeans now about our exodus? Is Africa and Asia ready to take us back in so we can leave America to the indigenous? All or nothing, let’s not just settle for idiotic symbolism.

Radicals not protestors

These people should be arrested & charged. I'm all for peaceful protests but destruction of property is just plain wrong.

No! No! No! Stop!

Looks like he’s discovered the lakebed 👋🏼

And what exactly did they prove? Absolutely nothing.

Where are the Knights?

DevinCow That's a shame. The poor fish dont deserve to have that much shit in their home.

DevinCow Y’all my alibi. I was home eating a taco!

Assholes

mathers_georgia GrassBandicoot lol they threw it in the harbor

🤡🤡🤡🤡

👍

They’re playing right into Trumpet’s hands. Now he can divert the attention away from rising COVID19 cases.

this is not protesters

Chinchillazllla Surprised there are any left at this point. Keep pulling the motherfuckers down!

I don’t CARE if people get indigenous, I’ll crap all over their statues.

Hey! Not cool! Don't throw your trash into a Chesapeake tributary! We have to worry about pollution as it is!

Dopey c*unts

Wow. Why him?

tashanreed And this accomplished what? He will still be in the history books. Going to burn all those too?

DevinCow

Weird, to watch republicans standing up for the statue of a thieving, mass murdering, pedophile.... weird, but not in any way shocking

Protestors don’t vandalize! These are thugs, animals & criminals of all races & backgrounds. Stop calling criminals protestors.

Again? I thought they did that last week! Somebody got thrown in the ocean, didn't they? Different city?

👍🏼

Lock em up for 10 years

That place has always been a shit hole.

jetrotter KofC ItalyUN_NY SpainInTheUSA

it matters none at all. Just shows the idiocy of the left

Thank you

Hey ap what is your definition of protestors and what is your definition of rioting?

Yamiche One wonders if the statue of ChristopherColumbus (who in real life trafficked slaves, committed genocide & rape) drowned while saying ICantBreathe BlackLivesMatter

maggieNYT It does seem odd that we’ve got all these statues of a guy who never did what apparently some people think he did.

My goodness. Can you proof your posts please

But didn’t democrats lead Baltimore to become the shit hole it is?

Who is that? Now that the statue is gone I have no idea who this Christopher guy is

Rioters, inciters, instigators but NOT 'protesters'. And at this point, criminals. Funny how the majority of those rioters probably never had an issue with these statues until they were paid to have an issue and, coincidentally, in an election year, too. Hmm

Columbus did not set foot on N. America. Check your history.

Yamiche I’m not crying about it.

Yamiche Just to be clear, Richmond, Virginia through Columbus into our lake two weeks ago.

Good.

Good. Bastard.

DevinCow What did the Inner Harbor ever do to them?

Not protestors. Why do you ap CNN feel the need to constantly belittle the good names of peaceful law abiding protestors and associate them with these individuals. Almost like you were intentionally trying to stoke racial tensions.

The term protester no longer applies. Those are criminals

WHERE are the POLICE ARREST these people! .POTUS , hope these people get serious time!

🤷🏿‍♂️

Should throw themselves in too.

Still calling them protesters huh ?

Wow they moved a statue, they are so brave.

Fantastic

maggieNYT He Google Maps been updated yet?

Sounds like Columbus gonna catch a case of crabs!

You misspelled rioters.

You forgot 'peaceful' protesters.... 🤣

When they are done with their tantrums, maybe they can put together a plan for real tangible change. Unless taking down statues is their overall goal, then good job I guess

Stringer Bell statue 👍

No great loss. The fish will appreciate it because they don’t know who he is.

They are not protesters, they are lawless thugs.

Very cool

I guess he's discovering the bottom of the harbor now

NOW LET'S DO TRUMP!

🙄🙄

I hope they wore masks!

JDP4FOREVER Chris is going for a swim :) BeauTFC livefreeordiez

Drag his ass

B- more gangsta !!!

melisandrePro Baltimore Tea Party ?

👏👏👏👏

Maybe the method of removal didn't dot all the i's and cross the t's, but this sadistic butcher has no business being publicly honored with a statue to begin with.

'protesters'

Get job Twitter stop stupid ppl like this

Chinchillazllla Sweet

Disgusting.

Getting rid of the Columbus statue clears the decks for respecting the truth. We have so many myths & honor them with statues. Its about time we start honoring the truth.

Yes! He was a horrible evil man; if you have ever studied him, his cruelty to the indigenous peoples in the Caribbean had no bounds.

Sickening.

Woo hoo!

Should've just put it in a museum imo.

Suddenly the Protesters(Domestic Terrorists) are armed with brand-new assault rifels. We all know who's(Democrats) funding these criminals.

What a great event the statue of Columbus was thrown into the harbor and just like that poverty, shootings, drugs and racism in Baltimore is over

But they keep voting for crooked Democrats, like that gift card stealer that's about to get elected. 😂

BYE.

maggieNYT I'll admit I busted out laughing

Hopefully they were filmed so the DOJ can prosecute to the fullest extent of the law. Don't like the statue? Petition your local government to remove it and put it in a museum then. This is lawlessness.

More trash in the inner harbor.

I can wait to see how this episode of the Wire plays out.

Beautiful

Nice

Denying COVID is like denying Columbus was a mudering racist rapist. You're wrong. Lol.

Good news 👏👏📰

The great USA showing the world why it is the greatest nation in the world once again!

mxhnoorrr

Omg, totally winning supporters...can I join your edgy after school club too!!!

bye hon

I guess people don't want to go work, life must be good

Charm city is back baby. It's good again. Awoouu (wolf Howl)

Put all of them in jail, 10 yrs min!

In 2020 Columbus swam the harbor blue.

Agree with the idea, disagree with the method.

maggieNYT Baltimore vandals

maggieNYT Maybe he’s crossing the harbor?

Will they rename the harbor Columbus Harbor in honor of the day the protesters threw the Columbus in there?

cool

Getting close for click click boom.

👏🏻👏🏼👏🏽👏🏾👏🏿

Oh Snap! Trump won't be sleeping tonight! 🤣

👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼

'protestors'?

It’s time.

Lol

It will make such a difference in people's lives.

ProudToBeAnAmerican. Yes. Down with that statue.

he shouldn’t have been out at night then

Roll the tape.

caberneigh fair he sucks

Law and Order? Happy4thofJuly

Isn't that precious.

Does it solve the problem?

Oh well!

Yes!

If it were tea and they were white they'd be patriots

Well good for them. I say lets just scrap holidays and statues, churches, movies, etc. Lets just work everyday and come home and shut the fuck up.

Rioters of peace

Great news

That will show him

Racism cured. So happy.

Awesome

I fully support this. Good job, everyone! 👏😀👏
