Protesters on Friday toppled a statue in San Francisco of former President Ulysses S. Grant, who famously led the Union Army to victories that crippled and ultimately brought down the Confederacy. The statue of Grant, who also served as the nation’s eighteenth president, was among three monuments in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park knocked down during the evening by a group of protesters. Other monuments toppled include a statue of Junípero Serra, an 18th century missionary recently declared a saint in the Catholic Church, and Francis Scott Key, the author of “The Star-Spangled Banner,” the national anthem. Police said roughly 400 protesters

They are just anarchists, they are violent thugs who will break things until the police stop them. They are having fun smashing expensive things.
But, it is SanFran, where they think that poop on the sidewalk is normal. There may someday be a study of impurities in the water in SanFran which causes mass insanity of all who live their.

If I showed up in our city with a group, intent upon tearing down a statue or other monument, we would be arrested.

One has to stand in awe of the logic of the Mob. Yes, it is a superior form of governance. Vote dim for more of the same.

Low IQ and ignorance of history drives most of these vandals. They are not "protestors". They are a mob of ignorant savages most of whom couldn't tell you the years the Civil War was fought much less the War of 1812, the Korean 'police action' that killed 40,000 US soldiers and almost nothing about the real history of the United States. It's almost 'Idiocracy' now. A bunch of poorly educated fools coming out of our educational system and it's only going to get worse.

The Taliban is here and is supported by democrat-socialist politicians, led by a bunch of leftists on their knees. Disgusting.

What's that saying...
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
So? When are WE going to speak up? We need to get the President and Senators to CONDEMN this stuff and do something to STOP IT ALL!!! Everyone, PLEASE Contact your senators and the President and demand this destruction of history stopped!!! Please!! And ask your friends and family to do the same!! They are destroying our country like the Maoists.

#10, not only is he white, but he accomplished something worthy of a great memorial. This makes The Community very uncomfortable.

Grant was the best friend blacks ever had. He oversaw the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to give them their full rights.
I want Pres. Trump to tell everyone tonight about how it was REPUBLICANS that gave blacks their freedom and fought for them, and how the dems were and are the party of the KKK.

Soon we won't need History teachers because we won't have any History to teach to the young heads full of mush— and their ignorant parents.

The Taliban are alive and well, and coming to a town near you. Perhaps they will replace the statues with big scary busts of Greta Thunberg.

I think Grant's wife's family owned slaves prior to the war in Missouri (?). I believe he freed them prior to the war. Lookup the History Channel 3 part series on Grant which is where I think I learned this.

This is partially the result of the "dumbing down" of our education system. What history is taught is so perverted ... think Howard Zinn's "A People's History". I read a page or two and couldn't stomach it.

More and more I am convinced the extremism is an alibi for knowing nothing about other times and people. It's an alibi for only knowing one's own feelings, only being interested in oneself, and being determined to affirm that self-absorption is an educational helpful wise take on current events. Meantime the world proceeds unregarded, full of life and death challenges, where it would be useful to know who Ulysses Grant actually was... why George Washington was a big deal....

These anarchists' first steps in destroying America is to destroy its valiant and honorable history and everything that represents what is good and worthy of America. Then they will come after us with guns and burn our cities and homes. Everyone white will be the enemy.
Soros and Bloomberg fund them and Marxists ideology and lies provide the motivation and rationale to destroy and kill.

If they are offended by Grant, I'll gladly accept possession of any $50 bills that might be soiling their wallets...

This is sanctioned by the city government. This is THEIR mob, and they "approved this message" by removing the police.
This is a Democrat mob, paid for by Dems, and doing the bidding of the Dems, protected from law enforcement by Dems.
Remember that the prosecutor in SanFran is son of a terrorist, and learned his trade in Cuba and Venezuela. This is literally the city government by Communist terrorists.

If southerners don't hold a grudge against Grant, what the heck is your problem ?
It's all about ignorance and starting a race war before the election. Paid protesters.
