Rioters Fail to Topple Emancipation Statue in D.C.

Townhall – In Washington, D.C., leftists have set their sights on the Emancipation Statue, which is baffling because the statue memorializes the abolition of slavery in the United States. The statue depicts President Lincoln holding a copy of his Emancipation Proclamation as he symbolically frees a slave, shackled and knelt before him. According to the National Park Service, the funds for the 1876 statue came primarily from freed slaves and African American Union veterans. But today’s leftists have decided that the freed slaves built a racist statue because the slave depicted in the statue is kneeling before the white president, which suggests “black people are inferior to white people,” as one protester told Townhall’s Julio Rosas. So that’s why protesters want police to kneel down before them.

Julio was at the statue on Tuesday when protesters gathered and announced their intentions to vandalize the memorial. A speaker told the angry mob that the memorial was on “stolen land” and warned white people that “we gonna make sure we get what’s owed to us.” The mob promised to come back two days later and tear down the statue. 

Fast forward to Thursday. Since the protesters made their intentions clear, law enforcement had plenty of time to build a wall around the statue.  MORE HERE

  1. Why do reports keep giving credit to people ‘offended’ being the reason for statue toppling?

    Say the truth. It’s the commies wanting to destroy every part of America that are responsible for the terrorist acts against America.

    Notice that the crowd in the photo is a majority of white lackies. What a freaking joke.

  2. THE POLICE ARE TERRIBLE

    They arrest militia members, and stand around while statues are toppled, autonomous zones are made, precincts are burned.

    REPUBLICANS ARE TERRIBLE
    They’ve had years to defund radical studies programs at state universities: Black, Chicano, Gay & Lesbian studies, and expel activists off campus, and they just do nothing.

    Now we have an army of full-time angry activists, and no one can control them, and if you fight back the police will arrest you or the mob will burn down the police department.

    Believe me, that’s exactly what I’d like to give them.

    “we gonna make sure we get what’s owed to us.”
    It never occurs to them to have a job, to show up, on time, and actually work during working time. Stand around with a finger up the butt, cell phone in the other hand, wondering why they can’t make more money.
    I especially like the the ones that don’t have the good sense to stay out of the way.
    And some of the “dumbest” excuses for being late.

  5. If you want to understand things like this, to deal with them effectively, don’t try to understand it using any type of logic or logical thought.

    It’s brought about by emotion and emotion driven thinking and using logic to try dealing with it is about as likely to be successful as teaching a pig to sing.

    Learn to manipulate emotions in your favor, that will work. It’s what those behind them are doing, and it shows how effective it is when done right and used as a tool to accomplish your goals.

    Why do you think the corona panic lockdown was/is used to remove so very many productive jobs from the economy?

  7. Like the Israelites – TWO (2) days OUT of Egypt, and already LONGING for their chains again, back in Egypt… 🙄

    GOOD thing they wanna tear down churches, too – that’ll help prevent them LEARNING of THAT irony. 🙄 🙄
