Nolan approved vandalism

DURHAM, N.C. — A group of protesters in Durham toppled a Confederate monument Monday evening.

The statue is called the Confederate Soldiers Monument and was dedicated in 1924.

The protest began at about 6 p.m. near the old courthouse and a portion of East Main Street was closed as a result.

Protesters topple Confederate statue during Durham rally

Several men used a ladder to reach the top of statue, which had been sprayed with cooking spray by authorities to make it more difficult to climb, and it was pulled down with a rope.

Protesters began kicking the statue and chanting after it fell. They then began marching to the police department, blocking a number of downtown streets in the process.

The protest dispersed just before 8 p.m.

The protest was held in response to a white nationalist rally that turned violent Saturday in Charlottesville, Va., killing three and injuring dozens.

Hmmm...the NC statues are protected by NC law but the protection is from politicians removing the statues.

I wonder how that plays with nimrod vandals doing it

Here's Jim Ross on the call.

It wouldn't surprise me if none of them are prosecuted. The pols there will pussy out.

And tomorrow, how many black children will be hungry, how many young black men will be killed by other black men and how many black kids will drop out of school destroying any chance at a future better than that of their momma and baby diddy.

Glad they got that statue that is ruining their lives out of the way.....guess it's only a matter of time now that all their problems are taken care of.

That statue looks like it tore both ACLs. Such a bummer right before football season.

That looks like something straight out of the middle east. I was half expecting someone to start beating it with their shoe.

Assuming this was directed at me. I don't condone vandalism.

I meant remove their shoe and swing it at the statue. They love doing that crap in 3rd world shitholes where they burn/destroy history.

Maybe one day you'll grow up and see how childish and naive you are.

I know what you meant. I thought one of the guys did that, but maybe not. In one vid he's struggling to get his shoe back on. I thought you may have even been being sarcastic, having seen the same.

OK. I just watched the shirt clip and saw someone kicking it. Might have missed it.

Not really giddy. I'm certainly not sad about it either.

Nothing good will come from it. At the end of the day it's superficial bullshiite that does nothing to fix black communities. What it will do is incite further violence. Watch the show unfold as MLK and Jewish monuments, etc start getting vandalized. And tick-tock, down the road we go. More murders, more everything. I'm sure you'll be entertained though, so it's all good.

I was wrong. Saw it again today...his shoe came off as he was kicking the statue.

So, you're saying betas will be so triggered by this, that they'll vandalize minority symbols?
