Local officials had already agreed to tear the statue down but the NAACP and Black Lives Matter rioters apparently couldn't wait (and elected leaders clearly had no interest in stopping them):

"Just wait," Chase said. "James Madison, Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson and George Washington are next. This has everything to do [with] HATE and racism... from rioters, looters and thugs." ![]() Follow InformationLiberation on Twitter, Facebook, Gab and Minds. |
