George Washington statue set on fire in Portland, beheaded by Black Lives Matter

And down goes George Washington

Rioters in Portland dismantled a statue of founding father George Washington after wrapping the monument’s head in an American flag and setting it on fire.

The statue — crafted by Italian-American sculptor Pompeo Coppini and installed in Portland’s Rose City Park neighborhood in the late 1920s — was also vandalized with spray paint. Sprayed on the statue was the number “1619.”

their cause is destroying property. and thats really about it. owning slaves was part of life back then. theres nothing you can do to change it. washington isn't a symbol of slavery hes a symbol of freedom. without washington we could still be answering to the british. or most likely hitlers 3rd reich. how would african americans feel about being executed by the nazis. you think they would give them a riot platform?

George Washington is my favorite president, these criminals who destroyed the statue should have to pay for it's restoration or repair. How disgusting !

Admitted proud Marxist. They don’t give a fuck about black people. The encouraging thing is even many black people are realizing it too.

Not sure what to expect next out here.. Downtown is nothing more than a hazzard zone.. Stay away ..feel bad for legit businesses , people who live in that area...Stated years back , that Mayor refusing to stop the anarchists when he easily could have , would have disasterous repercussions. Now its happened..

Their "cause" is Marxism. People really need to wake up to this.
