"DON'T DESTROY HISTORY" Chicago Residents UPSET About Christopher Columbus Statue Coming Down

Workers arrived under cover of darkness early Friday to remove a Christopher Columbus statue from Chicago’s Grant Park - a week after rioters clashed with city police as they attempted to tear the statue down.
The statue was being removed partly to de-escalate tensions between protesters and police as unrest continues in the nation’s third-largest city, the Chicago Tribune reported.
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot made the decision to remove the statue -- as well as another Columbus one in Little Italy earlier Thursday, according to FOX 32 in Chicago.
Videos and still images posted on social media showed the statue draped in a cloth as a crane pulled up to dislodge the statue from a pedestal before driving off.
Where the statue would be stored - and whether it will return anytime soon - wasn’t immediately known.
The statue was removed around 3 a.m. Friday after hours of tense arguments between proponents of its removal and supporters of the statue, FOX 32 reported.

[@Precious1962]

@@neffii8 Shame on you for that post. You are exactly whom I was speaking of. Do you know that many of the statues torn down, actually helped my ancestors during slavery? Knowing about slavery and studying about the civil war is what made me want to educate myself more. You see you took my post in an uneducated way. By the way, I possess my AA, BS, and my MS in Criminal Justice and I minored in History. I was a Probation Officer and I taught in a Junior College. I'm also smart enough to know the Democrats and the south are the perpetrators of slavery, the Jim Crow Laws, keeping black people from voting, etc.; The Democrats ended the period called the Reconstruction Period, where blacks prospered after the war, with a system called "The Convict Lease System." This was aimed at putting blacks in jail for petty crimes, thus, the beginning of mass incarceration of black people. So, yes, I say keep the statues up, the good and bad, so that I can go and further educate myself after reading about what one of them did. But, no, the Marxists and the Democrats choose to keep the black people in the dark about their history, so that they will continue to blindly vote for them and continue to believe the unrest in Democratic lead cities is blamed on just the white man. How ignorant is that. An individual is the destiny of their own future. Ignorance is not bliss.

@ A couple of weeks ago Antif icka was coming to East Texas to destroy a very large statue of Sam Houston. Their greeting party was waiting for them. They were heavily armed to the legal max. There were pictures on facebook of them and their message was loud and clear. There are still Texans guarding the statue. As far as I know now they did no show up. A few weeks before that the two well known groups tried to destroy The Alamo. They were met with Texas militia who keep them at a distance until the State Police and Riot Squads relieved them of their positions. The left is doing everything in their power to flip Texas blue but we will fight to our last breath. We have a saying here that has stood for over a hundred years " Remember the Alamo!"

[@lyndiebrown4968]

@stella smith- very true... 🙂 Hopefully what is happening now will wake people up and make them realize we do not want big government and we have common sense to make our own choices.

That’s why covid happened during election year time to clean house. Covid came to correct EVERY BROKEN SYSTEM. People seriously believe that presidents are at fault.

*Columbus didn't “discover” America - he never set foot in North America. During four separate trips that started with the one in 1492, Columbus landed on various Caribbean islands that are now the Bahamas as well as the island later called Hispaniola. He also explored the Central and South American coasts
