Last night in Madison BLM protestors tore down a statue of Hans Christian Heg, a Norwegian American journalist, anti-slavery activist, politician and soldier, best known for leading the Scandinavian 15th Wisconsin Volunteer Regiment in the American Civil War. He died of the wounds he received at the Battle of Chickamauga.

So now the cause is about tearing down statues of anti-slavery heroes who died fighting for black rights? wtf

when i saw "wisconsin statue torn down by protesters" i figured it must be some colonizer who was lowkey bad to indians. nope, an abolitionist. and state senator claiming he was attacked for taking a pic of them. could be antifa, as theyve been violent to people taking their pics before, but who knows.

they fucking tossed the statue in a lake. what a bunch of dumbasses.

During the melee late Tuesday, Democratic state Sen. Tim Carpenter was assaulted after taking a photo of protesters.

"I don't know what happened ... all I did was stop and take a picture ... and the next thing I'm getting five-six punches, getting kicked in the head," Carpenter told a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter following the assault.


absurd..

We need a president who will restore law and order. Trump has failed.

If the Dems had put up a black woman it would be a shoe-in. Identity politics is the strongest force rn.
