Would It Be Vandalism If Someone Threw Paint On or Broke a Martin Luther King Jr. Statue? Or, Would It Be Something Else?

**  Authorities investigate after Confederate statue  vandalized.  Jackson, Madison County, Tennessee.  Again, would it be vandalism if someone did that to a Martin Luther King Jr. statue?  I think not.  Let's call what happened to the Confederate statue it for what it is, a hate crime.  I really hate it when the media refers to the Confederadication of statues as "vandalism."  But, then, they refer the riots committed by BLM as "civil unrest."  A riot is a riot is a riot.  It's time for the media and everyone to regard any BLM activity as a possible riot and with its accompanying looting.)

**  19-year old leading push Confederate statue says she didn't set out to become face of the movement.  (Longview, Gregg County, Texas.  Chelsea Laury.)

**  Rally shows support for Augusta Confederate monument.  (Georgia)

**  Protests continue over confederate statue at Talbot Co. courthouse.  (Maryland.  It is spelled Confederate.  Of course, the people in charge voted to keep it.  The BLMers aren't happy about that one bit.)

**  Backroads:  Confederate statue's orbs intrigued pranksters.  (Bell County, Texas.  The problem with cannonballs.  Quite an interesting article.  Well worth a read.  The pranks here have nothing to do with BLM.)

**  Va. House Democrats want to make it easier  for localities to take down Confederate statues.  (A real big surprise here.  One of the reason I am voting against almost all Democrats here in Illinois.)

**  Franklin schools ban Confederate flag, symbols.  (Indiana.  Hopefully they are not allowing the equally offensive BLM stuff in schools as well.  That stands for looting, rioting, attacking police and white people.)

Believe Me.  When a BLMer Does Something to a Confederate Statue, That IS A HATE CRIME!!   That Is Not Simple "Vandalism."  ---Old Secesh
