    I would say that it is not legitimate to displace them in any other way than through a democratic process.

    It is perfectly legitimate to question their continued legitimacy and campaign for their possible removal but I would say it is not legitimate or acceptable to tear them down in a riot.
    I would say it's up to the respective bodies if they can be arsed to put them up again, and if people actually want them.

    The Hamilton statue was a private donation, I doubt the people of Hamilton voted for it.

    Riots are bad. But so is teargassing a crowd of people who aren't doing anything wrong.

    You seem to want to focus on this one issue, which is rather trivial compared to the rest.

    Oh, and personally I couldn't give a flying fuck if statues celebrating racists are removed or torn down, they shouldn't be there in the first place.

    It's what he does. He's currently busy equating all protesters to 'rioters' and thereby delegitimizing the lot. It's the 'not all cops... but all rioters' shtick.

    Something tells me he'd have no issue with this type of 'peaceful' protest:

    You presumably consider that to be a 'simple sentence' so that's an example of the problem you have, right there.

    It's 'painful' trying to make sense of your mangled crap.

    Wtf is 'popped of the tangent ' supposed to mean, for example?

    Oh don't worry about tooty, I put his irrelevant mumbling on ignore a long time ago.

    He has nothing useful to say.

    Anti-racism protesters mistakenly topple statue of US anti-slavery leader Heg

    This to

    A statue of one of America's fiercest anti-slavery activists has been decapitated and dragged into a lake after being wrongly targeted by anti-racism protesters during a night of violence in the country's Midwest.

    Key points:
    • Two monuments, including the Heg statue, were torn down by protesters in the Wisconsin capital of Madison
    • But Colonel Hans Christian Heg actively campaigned against racism and slavery


    Colonel Hans Christian Heg campaigned against slavery, fought in the Union army during the American Civil War, and even led a militia that targeted slave-catchers in Wisconsin.

    He was shot leading his regiment against Confederate troops at the Battle of Chickamauga in 1863, and died the next day.

    Would of thought it would be more productive to protest about racial discrimination that the maori's encounter in their day to day lives, than some silly statue.

    Hope the Kiwis are all going to protest outside the Gallagher groups headquarters, which no doubt is a racist company.

    "Would have..." and the two aren't mutually exclusive.

    85 shot, 24 fatally, over Chicago’s most violent weekend of 2020

    More than half of the weekend’s victims were shot on Sunday as the city reeled from violent protests Saturday night that led to hundreds of arrests and the implementation of a curfew.

    By Sun-Times Wire Updated Jun 1, 2020, 10:09pm CDT

    Twenty-four people were killed and at least 61 others were wounded by gun violence in Chicago’s most violent weekend of the year so far, which also saw widespread protests, riots and looting throughout the city in the wake of the Minneapolis police killing of George Floyd.

    More than half of the weekend’s victims were shot on Sunday as the city reeled from violent protests Saturday night that led to hundreds of arrests and the implementation of a curfew.

    Chicago Police Supt. David Brown said Monday that of the total fatal shootings over the weekend, 17 homicides occurred on Sunday alone. The Cook County medical examiner’s office confirmed 15 for Sunday, with another three at unknown locations.

    The weekend’s toll surpasses the tally from the same weekend in 2019, when 52 people were wounded — 8 fatally — in citywide gun violence.


    Protest, yes, let’s protest, did you hear, a black man died in Minneapolis.

    So you approve of mob rule for society's statue retirement processes.

    But for reinstatement of illegally removed statues you expect due democratic processes of public consultation to be observed before any action is taken?

    You seem to be struggling with "personally I couldn't give a flying fuck".

    It seems that you are saying you don't have any objection to mob rule determining society's statue retirement process.

    But you would expect public approval to be sought by a democratic process of consultation before any illegally removed or demolished statues were to be reinstated or restored?

    To me this is revealing of the puzzling dogmatic reverence that society is now presumed to show towards left wing politics - even when the proponents are civil disrupting rioters engaged in illegal demolition of public property that they have, without any detailed argument being offered, determined on a frenzied whim that they have a subjective political objection to.

    You see it everywhere since this racism thing blew up. It is like a political contagious pandemic.

    Celebrities and public figures and public facing corporations are terrified of putting any kind of political foot wrong that would put them even a micron on the wrong side of any woko hipsters which leads to these strange double standards being applied to political behaviour.

    ^It almost seems like the global media has an agenda to spread that contagion. Nah, that couldn't be possible.
