Do you want to swell the ranks of racist organizations?
Letting shit like this happen unchecked is the was to do it! Of course this is the end game of those bent on destroying the country. If the laws of the land are not equally enforced, are they really laws that people will obey? It is just a flag. It is just an old statue. It is just an old grave. Where does it end? Accidents happen and no ones to blame. Protesting is one thing. Vandalism is still another. This shit makes my head hurt! Meanwhile those who have never left Mom's basement are masturbating about Civil War II! |

I never knew that. Had to Google it. The Statue of Lenin is a 16-foot (4.9 m) bronze sculpture of Communist revolutionary Vladimir Lenin located in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. Initially installed in Czechoslovakia in 1988, the sculpture was removed after the Velvet Revolution and brought to the United States in the 1990s. Lewis E. Carpenter, an English teacher in Poprad originally from Issaquah, Washington, found the monumental statue lying in a scrapyard ready to be sold for the price of the bronze; Carpenter had met and befriended Venkov while in Czechoslovakia. In close collaboration with a local journalist and good friend, Tomáš Fülöpp, Carpenter approached the city officials with a claim that despite its current unpopularity, the sculpture was still a work of art worth preserving, and he offered to buy it for $13,000. After many bureaucratic hurdles, he finally signed a contract with the mayor on March 16, 1993. With the help of Venkov, the statue was cut into three pieces and shipped to the United States at a total cost of $40,000. Carpenter financed much of that via mortgaging his home. The statue arrived in Issaquah in August 1993, and Carpenter planned to install it in front of a Slovak restaurant. He died in a car accident in February 1994, during public debates on whether to display the statue in Issaquah that ended in rejection from the suburb's residents. After Carpenter's death, his family planned to sell the statue to a Fremont foundry to be melted down and repurposed into a new piece. The foundry's founder, Peter Bevis, sought to instead display the statue in Fremont, and agreed to have the Fremont Chamber of Commerce hold the sculpture in trust until a buyer is found. The statue was unveiled on June 3, 1995, at the corner of Evanston Avenue North and North 34th Street, one block south of a salvaged Cold War rocket fuselage, another artistic Fremont attraction. ... The Carpenter family continues to seek a buyer for the statue. As of 2015 the asking price is $250,000, up from a 1996 price tag of $150,000 ... The BBC highlighted Seattle's Lenin statue. after protesters removed Lenin statues in Ukraine. Zygimantas Pavilionis, envoy to Washington D.C. from Lithuania, referred to the 2014 Russian military intervention in Ukraine by saying, "In Seattle, I saw that ugly monument to Lenin there" and warning that "one day you will wake up and instead of 'Go Huskies'" Seattle residents will instead see Russian license plates on military vehicles in their city. Weird, they should have melted it and recycled the bronze. Who is Zygimantas Pavilionis? Žygimantas Pavilionis is a career diplomat who became ambassador of Lithuania to the United States in August 2010. Born on August 22, 1971, in Vilnius, Pavilionis grew up with parents who prized higher education; his father, Roland Pavilionis, being an academician and his mother, Mary Pavilioniene Venus, a professor. I wonder if Žygimantas has ever seen Red Dawn. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

At this rate the commies will destroy every monument to Washington and Jefferson as well as all the other founding fathers, because of their fucking feelz.
I'm so glad I went and toured the Confederate monuments in VA when I still could, as well as Monticello. I may have to fast track plans for more trips to see the historical sites in other states too. |

Went to show a friend the Lenin statue the other day. Hands were painted red. The statue is privately owned and I believe it's for sale. Owner was a fan of the artist's sculpture work and that artist was "hired" by USSR to make some Lenin statues. The owner found the statue in a scrapyard while touring in Russia or wherever he found it. He immediately recognized the artist's work and found a way to buy it. It has just been sitting there since he placed it... buy it. Recast it as a giant something else to piss of leftists.

I actually can't wait for them to go after the Founders and the Red White and Blue,because I want to see how the "Level Headed" this isn't the hill to die on crowd reacts. The Left has been winning for over 40 years even under "Republican" presidents and obviously under Democrat presidents. They will eventually replace everything with people they think are heroes. Better start embracing social media and public protest,or keep hiding in the ammo fort for a war that is NEVER coming.

Facebook statement from Durham PD "Statement from the Durham Police Department Regarding Protest at County Courthouse Durham Police Department (DPD) officers monitored the protests that occurred in the city tonight to ensure the protests were conducted in a safe manner and that no infractions occurred within city jurisdiction. The DPD is aware that a Confederate monument was toppled at the old Durham County courthouse. Because this incident occurred on county property where county law enforcement officials were staffed, no arrests were made by DPD officers. The Durham County Sheriff’s Office is the agency that has jurisdiction over all county buildings and landmarks. When monitoring such incidents the Sheriff’s Office is the decision-making agency regarding law enforcement response on matters concerning county property." View Quote |
