I do not support the taking down of this statue, statues of Columbus, or other statues erected essentially to celebrate the European peopling of the US and the Americas.
The indigenista Children of Zinn consider the white settling of the Americas to be an atrocity and racist crime all by itself, and insist there was a general white genocide of the natives though Indians are far more numerous today than ever in the past.
I don't endorse or in the least accept their view of this history.
All the same, it ought to be illegal to show up at any demonstration with a weapon.
Demonstrators illegally defaced and attempted to tear down a statue in an act of race hatred and a man attempted to stop them with physical intervention.
Shoved to the ground, he took out a gun and shot a demonstrator.
He was then surrounded by armed militia in camos and wearing riot gear.
The man was arrested.
There is some dispute about whether he was a member of the militia, who are being described in the media as vigilantes who showed up armed to prevent the crowd harming or taking down the statue.
The Republican Party continues to exist because white Democrats have no balls.
Republicans, on the other hand, have no brains.
