13184934, IDK why this hasn't already happened in other cities... Posted by rorschach, Tue Aug-15-17 05:07 PM
If you want that statue to come down so fucking bad...just take it down.
What are the politicians gonna do? Put it back up? If there aren't a bunch of Confederate guys blocking the statue, we should just knock that shit down.
I'm proud of what the protestors in Durham did. ---------------------------------------
