This is why I BOO @Revolver

 

[K-Bag]

Didn't see the counterfeit 20 dollar bill, not realistic enough.

 

[Hadron90]

Guesses on how many years in prison someone will get for defacing it? 10 years? 20?

 

[Hadron90]

You guys know it's not really a shrine to him as a person, right?

Kind of hard to argue that, when its literally a giant bronze statue of him.

They should have cast it in the image of him punching his wife.

Well, I know the statue is made in his likeness, but what has he done to merit a monument to him? That was more of what I was trying to say.

I understand your argument, but I believe it's one of semantics, and doesn't pass the pub test or occam's razor.

The semantics are: It's not of him, it's of his deeds or what happened to him. Yet, it's a huge fucking statue of him. Of George Floyd. Anyone can be deconstructed into some abstract parts but it doesn't change what they have made.

he has the crack pipe in his hand and a pill in his mouth

That's why everyone is making fun of it. Its a stupid statue. There are a billion better ways to pay homage to civil rights struggles.

I mean, the chick that he smashed on video was pretty fit sooo..... Nice?

 

[Scheme]

Every year I think we've reached the peak of the stupidity and insanity but every year just piles on more and more.

 

[Mr Holmes]

I hear its okay to destroy statues. I hope no one gets any funny ideas about saint floyd.

 

[tenniswhiz]

Tearing statutes like Columbus or such similar ones and while spray painting on US Veterans but a city puts a statue like this?

Trying him into a martyr is wrong.

To be fair, Columbus is a horrible example.
He raped, pillaged, and killed a lot of people.

 

[tenniswhiz]

If anyone tries to to destroy or bring down this kind of statue you will have problary Antifa, BLM trying to chase or cancel you and paint as racist, hateful....


Well this is what the far leftist democrats voted for in their areas...

Newark is thriving.

I am in the same boat. I mistakenly think that the latest SJW stupidity is finally going to put a nail in the coffin and yet this foolishness just continues on and gets more and more bizarre.

He raped, pillaged, and killed a lot of people.

And if he lived in modern times nobody would have built statues to him. It's better to leave the statues in place but to also educate people on what the times were like.

You guys know it's not really a shrine to him as a person, right? It's a shrine to what his death was able to give them for their narrative. They tried hard with the Ahmad Arbery shooting, but that didn't take off they way they hoped due to the facts of the case. But George Floyd's death gave them everything they were looking for and they exploited every last bit of it. Ask Tamir Rice's mom or Michael Brown's dad how much BLM has shown them they actually care about the people behind the names they claim to be fighting for justice for.

It's both. They wouldn't give a shit if the exact same thing happened to someone who wasn't the model democrat voter with a violent criminal history, blasted on drugs all day trying steal shit from shop owners.

I hope they build a monument for Mklia Bryan next with a statue in mid stabbing motion.

I will get some slick for this but its like seeing a internet fiction story come into reality.

 

[tenniswhiz]

What's the over/under on how many murders are committed within a block of that thing in the next year?

If they can't even make a safe MLK boulevard anywhere in the country, imagine the unspeakable horrors that'll be going on around George Kirby monuments.

I guess he’s allowed to say it without getting canceled:

The Conservative party will never die so long as this dumb shit keeps happening. People will just get sick of the woke bullshit and step across the line, even if they don't fundamentally agree with all of their principles.
