Are these UDC members the white supremacists who put up all those racist monuments BLM has warned us about? How about those Confederate veterans above them? Some mighty desperate and despicable folks if you ask me.

So, Ending Police Brutality Means "Vandalizing" Confederate Statues and Pulling Them Down in Virginia


And, I use the word "vandalizing" in the headline in italics because it is actually a hate crime.

From the June 7, 2020, Vox "Protesters tore down a statue in the former capital of the Confederacy.  More to follow" by Riley Beggin.

A picture of the "protesters" at the "vandalized"  Robert E. Lee statue in Richmond accompanies the article.  I will put that picture at the top of the blog for a few days in case you haven't seen the "vandalism."  The picture was taken by Ryan McKelley

"Protesters toppled the statue of a Confederate general in Richmond, Va., Saturday night (June 6) it was the latest of a number  of monuments to the former slave-owning South  to be pulled down by protesters and public officials as people nationwide demand racial justice and an end to police brutality.

"The protesters defaced  the statue of Confederate Gen. Williams Carter  Wickham in the city's Monroe Park., which sits on Virginia Commonwealth University campus, before using ropes to pull it down.

One person reportedly urinated on it before running away.
