Six protesters have been arrested after a George Washington statue in Los Angeles was defaced and torn down during protests last week. Footage of the incident showed the life-size figure of America's first president with red bands around its neck as a group tried to pull it to the ground. The group are said to have changed clothes in an attempt to avoid detection moments after the statue was toppled in Grand Park on Thursday.
Protesters have been tearing down statues across the country as part of anti-racism demonstrations fueled by George Floyd's death in Minneapolis in May. Washington, the first US president,

Dear Daily Mail, these are not protesters. These are thugs, looters and vandals. They are not tearing down statues as part of anti-racism demonstrations, they are tearing them down because they are thugs, looters and vandals. I hoped this helped explain the obvious to you. You're welcome.

I am sick of the Daily Mail.
These grownups in their 20s and 30s (not teenagers) went there deliberately to tear down this statue. Their taking a change of clothes with them, into which they changed after they pulled the statue down, shows premeditation, not an impromptu emotional act… Throw the book at them.

No mention of this story in the Los Angeles Times (because it occurred a week ago, I not only read through the California stories, I also searched for it, nothing). This is exactly how the media is helping Biden-Harris. Unless you are next door to the violence, you just don't hear about it. In Oregon, the main news sources bend over backwards to describe the protesters as victims and the police as perpetrators of violence. In Seattle, the Seattle Times simply ignores many protests. Never has our media so failed to keep the people informed.

The DM is evil way beyond the NYT. They focus on taking any bad news in America on any issue, blowing it way out of proportion and framing it in their anti-America far left narrative. Then they report with breathless devotion any story that shows the Royals walking and breathing as an incredible accomplishment and gift to the world. My Yorkshire relatives detest the DM and the embarrassment they are to UK.

If these thugs can be monitored and recorded in a camera view finder, they can be tracked with a gun sight and disposed of.

Please post their booking photos and the address of the basement where they're living.

They honor a drugged thug over our first President. That’s their dystopian viewpoint. They do not even remotely share our values at any point. They need to be wiped off the face of God’s earth!

Ten years is not enough. Restitution and life in prison will do for this garbage. Crack pots who never worked a day in their life and most likely know all the ins and out of getting something for nothing.

Ten years in a federal prison should give them time to rethink things.

The British should love this. They hated George Washington for a long, long, time. As for the criminals, I only wish I could transport every one of the punks back to the Stone Age cultural of inter-tribal warfare they are so pious about. They would be offered a screaming death or a life of slavery at the hands of every tribe they encountered. Even the most pacifist tribe would stake them on an anthill after a week of their nonsense.

They need to be charged with sedition along with appropriate criminal charges. They need to be made persona non grata and booted out of this country after prison terms, or, as someone here suggested, exiled to GITMO. They do not deserve to live here and enjoy the Rights and benefits of Citizenship (and duties, too).

The criminals are well trained...do the dirty then change clothes..."I'm a protestor".
I would surround them so they can't escape, in the chaos that is also their MO...
