Maybe the defense of monuments to Confederate leaders is beginning to look about as pointless as the defense of Commies and fascists.No. I had other things to do. So, I assume that you view George Washington and Abe Lincoln and US Grant and the statues of other American heroes associated with the south during the American Civil War as being in the same league as the statues of dictators like Saddam Hussein, Stalin, Lennon and so forth. There's a reason why you were a part time teacher and the reason is/was that you are dumber and have less common sense than the average American these days. Yep, we are seeing what the liberals have to say, what they allow/ support and what they feel about proposed changes to lessen the chance of a George Floyd situation occurring again and stem the spread of the hatred and violence that we've seen across the country lately. Like I said, we aren't on trial or the ones being judged today. The Left and the Democrats are on trial and the ones being judged by the rest of America today. You are affiliated with the Left and the Democrats right.
Just think of what a statue of Jefferson Davis, let alone Nathan Bedford Forrest, means to some black child in the South... yes, these are the heroes. These people fought to keep your fourth-great-grandparents (the black ones, at least) in bondage.
I heard the Marxist Minneapolis city council voted to disband the Minneapolis police force the other day and basically outlawed the use deadly force by eliminating the legal protections associated with it and basically replace them with an unarmed peace keepers/social workers who won't be trained in personal defense or trained to use firearms and the only weapon they can have or use is a taser or portable pepper spray. I doubt a taser or pepper is going to do much good against criminals that are usually armed with semi automatic pistols and other deadly firearms but that must not matter to the who represent the petty thieves, inner city gangs and all their members, the drug dealers, poor single moms with kids, illegal human and drug trafficers, illegal alien population and the backward minded people and the careless idiots that occupy their areas. I doubt the rest of the suburbs and rural areas going to follow suit and go along with them. I doubt the rest of Minnesota is going like the idea of their national guard being relied on, sent in to harms way and so forth instead of the Minneapolis police force. I doubt we are going to like the idea of our local police forces and county police forces and state highway patrols also being sent in to deal with their issues that get out of hand too.
