Do you support Takiyah and other protesters taking down these ugly statues?


22 y/o Takiyah Thompson who took part in the toppling of the Confedeerate statue with a group of protesters in North Carolina has been arrested and is facing several charges.

Democrat Governor Roy Cooper has already said that he wants ALL of the Confederate Momuments around the state taken down in the state.

He said "We cannot continue to glorify a war against the United States of America fought in the defense of slavery. These monuments should come down"

Protesters were recorded using a rope to take down a statue in North Carolina as they cheered after taking it down and began stomping and spitting on it

Takiyah said she was right to take it down to take down white supremacy.

She is now charged with disorderley conduct by injury to a statue and participation in a riot with property damage in excess of 1500 and inciting others to riot

During her arrest, protesters called for authorities to drop the charges as Takiyah said "The people decided to take matters into our own hands and remove the statue. We are tired of waiting on politicians who could have voted to remove the white supremacist statues years ago but they failed to act, so we acted"

Sheriff Mike Andrews now says the protesters who toppled the century old ugly statue would face felony charges and said "No one is getting away with this|

The Confederate Solders Monument, dedicated in 1924, stood in front of an old courthouse that houses local government offices.

The crumpled and dented bronze statue is now in a warehouse for storage

The destruction of these statues is in respose of the Virginia attack where racists and the alt-right protested over the removal of General Robert E Lee statue that left 1 woman dead

More Local and State statues announced they would remove statues and other imagery from public land as it started with the murder of 9 black parishioners from nazi Dylann Roof who is now facing the death penalty. Then Republica Governor Nikki Haley started the movement to take down monuments after a tearful statement to have them taken out of the public eye

Do you support Takiyah and other protesters taking down these statues?

Takiyah -

So instead of complaining about a statue she doesn't like and getting it pulled down by the town, she just pulls it down herself? Image if everyone did that.

I don't like this pink building. Imma pull it down.
I don't like the statue of Liberty. Imma pull it down.
I don't like this tree in this park. Imma pull it down.

You can't just damage other people's stuff just because you want to, whether it's offensive or not.

You forgot the ever-effective 'Hey, ho...' at the beginning there to your catchy jingle.

I agree that the Confederate statues should be removed from public spaces and placed in museums, but it wasn't her place, or the place of anyone in the crowd, to tear it down. It should be done through the proper, lawful channels.

Pretty sure NC made it illegal to take down statues, she did the right thing.

The law says what she did was illegal, the law is fucking wrong.

confederate traitor garbage should be in a museum not in public

If the statues can be moved, sell them all to rich racists. It adds money to public coffers, and lets the South retain their "heritage" in their own backyards.
Or, sell them to rich SJWs. Once it's no longer public property, the "public" has no say in whether or not the new owner smashes it to bits with a sledgehammer.
