WARNING: Graphic
A protester has reportedly been seriously injured while pulling down a Confederate statue in Portsmouth, Virginia.
"There was a gentleman who was directly in front of the statue and when the statue finally did give way it came and fully hit him in the head," a local Black Lives Matter representative told news reporter Brett Hall.
"You could see his skull was actually showing, he was convulsing on the ground. He lost a fair amount of blood, we're asking everybody to pray for that man right now." Hall, who was at the protest, reported it had been a celebratory atmosphere as protesters worked to pull

Another example of why Confederate troops weren't easily defeated. Even their statues cause serious injury.
Back away from the monuments, while you still have a chance.

One wonders if the BLM 'protester' regrets that he has only one life to give for destroying property?

Some people get what they deserve. Why is this being reported by a New Zealand newspaper? Thank heavens for foreign presses which aren't afraid to tell the truth sometimes, and for ldotters who dig it out.

He should have paid attention when in his geometry and physics classes instead of concentrating on "women's studies".

Hope he recovers enough to realize 'that was dumb' - if only for his family's sake.

It's so difficult to type while you're laughing. I'll get right on that prayer though.

He was described as a "gentleman" in the article. Well,
Gerald: [the other men protest] Now gentlemen, Mr. Butler has been up North I hear. Don’t you agree with us, Mr. Butler?
Rhett: I think it’s hard winning a war with words, gentlemen.
Charles: What do you mean, sir?
Rhett: I mean, Mr. Hamilton, there’s not a cannon factory in the whole South.
Man: What difference does that make, sir, to a gentleman?
Rhett: I’m afraid it’s going to make a great deal of difference to a great many gentlemen, sir.
I guess it also matters to a "gentleman" if a statue falls on his head.

A personal injury lawsuit has likely already been filed against the city by his family.

The fact that he was already seizing means he's done for.
It's ironic they're asking for prayers. I'm so sorry for his mother, father and those who love him.
Damn these criminals who have fooled these children with this ideology.

I was thinking the same thing, #12. They go out and destroy everything in sight in an effort to end America and then they want prayers?
Maybe they should do a bit of thinking about karma. It will ALWAYS come back and bite you in the arse.

If only our children, even if some are pre-brainwashed protesters, come to realize they are being played by anti-American forces and they are expected to risk their lives for the revolution. This kid will not recover.

These morons don't realize that these statues sometimes are not in one piece. So you tip them and parts like the head can fall off. While I am sorry the protester got hurt, I just cannot work myself up to care for those who seek to destroy the history of the world, then rewrite it.

I think he obviously was hit in the head before. Maybe this will bring him back to his senses.

I expect that he will now sue the city claiming that he was a bystander injured because the police stood by and allowed this to happen. I expect that the city will settle for a nice sum too.

Well if the guy survives he can always go on to claim to his BLM cohorts that he was wounded in action by a nasty Confederate soldier. He will probably also go on and sue the City of Portsmouth, VA, for allowing a dangerous statue on public property that could fall and injure or kill members of the public.

I was watching those useless idiots on Fox climbing all over the statue, and the soy boys and lezbo's swinging hammers to break apart the statue. I thought it was inevitable that one of those fools will pull the concrete statue down on his empty head. I mean, it was so predictable, that it had to happen.....And it did.

Effing morons

I can't celebrate this fellow's misfortune, but neither can I mourn it. Frankly, every aspect of this story sickens me.

If he dies, I wonder if he'll get three funerals and a gold coffin like George Floyd did. #4 is right. There are uses for geometry and physics after the class ends.

Just another destruction accident. These things happen every day in the destruction industry flourishing in this country in Democrat controlled areas. It's the price of regression.

Of course the primary responsibility is on him, but a large part of the entire event and why a normal person would even be there is squarely at the feet of the American educational establishment and the media. They either failed to educate or in the case of the media actually brainwashed millions for sensationalist, negative 'news' to boost ratings. A young, poorly educated, poorly disciplined fool just paid with his life for not having enough curiosity or respect to understand the real world. I'd include the parents, but it has never been harder to raise a child right, than it is today. They may have tried and been outvoted by peers or a culture of true madness.

The main reason they were hard to defeat, #1, was that they were fighting to defend their home soil from the northern invaders, and protect their families.
I remember high school field trips touring those monuments in Norfolk, Portsmouth, Hampton, and the whole Tidewater area, where I spent my teen years. Virginia was central in both the American Revolution and the War Between the States, and they knew how to honor, tastefully and respectfully, the memory of the men and women who figured prominently in that history.
These antifa miscreants know only how to injure, deface, destroy and defame. It would be ironic justice if every act of destruction they attempt were to rebound upon their heads in a similar fashion.

Too bad, but he shouldn’t have been there in the first place. Hope he recovers.

No noggin is hard enough to weather a direct hit from a falling statue. The line from that old Dr. John song swims up from the deeps: "My head was in a bad place and I'm wondering what it's good for." Stay away from places of trouble.
