Communists 1, People of Virginia 0
Many years ago statues were erected in Richmond, Virginia honoring men who served in the Confederate States of America, mostly military figures. The Statues were placed on Monument Avenue and were beautiful works of art bringing many tourists to view the statues. Monument Avenue was a preferred location for a residence for many. It was a beautiful avenue to ride down.
Then a Communist Front Organization, known as Black Lives Matter began, apparently to cause discord between black and white people and to promote strife among the races to weaken the United States, came to town. They immediately began tearing down statues of white people, attacking police, destroying property and committing arson. You would think that such evil people would be shunned by the local people but that is not what happened. Local evil people embraced them and joined in their law breaking. Even white people, who Black lives Matter were demonizing, joined in their activities. These white people, useful idiots, supported the law breakers for weeks.
The Democratic Mayor embraced them and even gave encouragement through a bullhorn. The statues the mob could not tear down were taken care of by the mayor. He hired a campaign contributor, without getting competitive bids, to tear the rest down. We wonder if the mayor got a kickback for this. It was against state law to tear down war memorials but the mayor knew the corrupt governor and attorney general would do nothing. The mobs even tore down a statue of Christopher Columbus whose sin was apparently having been white.
After cheering on the mobs and hiring a campaign donor to take down the statues without a public hearing you would think the people of Richmond would vote the mayor out of office but they actually re-elected him. How much confidence does that give you in the people of Richmond?
After pleasing the communist front organization that left the mayor with a statue of a white guy that was owned by the State of Virginia. How could Black Lives Matter get that hated man removed? That was easy. Black Lives Matter is a valued member of the Democrats Big Tent and Governor Northam is a Democrat. He endorsed removal of the statue enthusiastically. He attempted to remove it but decent citizens got a court order restraining removal. Finally after many appeals and The Governor spending lots of taxpayer money for political reasons the State Supreme Ruled that Corrupt Governor Northam could legally remove the statue. Does that mean the Governor can break the law?
The Governor never attempted to determine whether the people of Virginia wanted the statue removed. He takes his orders from Black Lives Matter. That was wrong.
Now this priceless statue has been defaced by a fascist regime by cutting it into sections. The incompetent Governor has no idea what to do with the statue. We need a recall election to get rid of this grossly incompetent governor.
