bruh safety should be a top priority what they doing

We could see that his skull was actually showing

nope not watching it

---

Damn. I hope he gets better. That is a terrible injury.

---

praying for him? Literally doing thoughts and prayers you dumb fucks wow

this is in regards to those in the video

this is so fucking stupid.

---

This is why I fucking wanted them to not do it this way

This is FUCKED

I'm all for removal of things that are offensive and serve no place in today's world. But dont do it this way

I knew something like this would happen last week when people were using hammers to try and get a statue down. Thankfully that time the city said to give them 24 hours and they'll take it down themselves.

I just watched the video, they aren't being smart with how they are doing it. Who would stand right under where a statue would land if and when it fell over? I hope he makes it, but these groups need to be smarter if they are going to continue to tear down statues.

its a party. i'd imagine most of the fools around the statue are drunk. drunk people do dumb shit.

Note that this whole situation was started by an overly-aggressive dumbass who didn't think there'd be any consequences. Why continue doing the same?

The best of intentions can go horribly wrong if you dont think out your actions

Yup...This was going to happen.
Hell, just the fact that they weren't wearing eye protection was enough for me to smh.

So do we think this is going to make people take a step back and calm down before anyone else gets hurt, or do you think well see people blaming this on the people who put the statue up in the first place?

Play stupid games...
