More arrests made in gutsy statue mugging

Two additional socialists were arrested Wednesday for destroying a century-old statue of a Confederate soldier in Durham, North Carolina. 

Dante Strobino and Ngoc Loan Tran were arrested as they stupidly attended a court hearing for another socialist-anarchist woman who was charged Tuesday for climbing a ladder and attaching a rope to the bronze statue, in a move reminiscent of ISIS destroying Christian statues.

The Durham County Sheriff's office said the two were charged with two felonies related to inciting and participating in a riot that damaged property.

The ladder-climbing woman, Takiyah Thompson, was charged with the same counts the previous day. 

Fun Fact: Takiyah, usually spelled 'Taqiyya' means to lie in the service of Islam.

Thompson is a student at North Carolina Central University, allegedly majoring in lesbian dance theory.

All three anarchists belong to the Workers World Party, a communist party in the United States founded in 1959 and led by Sam Marcy of the Socialist Workers Party. The group helped organize the Durham protest in response to the deadly violence in Charlottesville, Va. over the weekend.

Thompson allegedly climbed up and attached a rope to the statue and her colleague commies pulled it down.

After the statue fell, protesters thought it safe to kick the Confederate soldier while he was down. Some spit at it, others flipped him "the bird."

"I'm tired of white supremacy keeping its foot on my neck and the necks of people who look like me," Thompson said at a news conference. "That statue glorifies the conditions that oppressed people live in, and it had to go."

Yes, the anarchists are tired of waiting for lawful change--blame it on faster internet and leftist attention deficit disorder.

Insofar as white supremacists putting their feet on the necks of people like Thompson, there has never been a time in the United States, with more opportunities in education and employment than now. 

The number of neo-nazis and white supremacists in the U.S. is relatively quite low, however, it seems that the number is on the rise. On the other side we have the alt left, Antifa and other forms of mental illness.

The Durham anarchy event was in response to a white supremacist rally held in Charlottesville, Va. over the weekend, which led to three deaths. While Charlottesville sparked new debate by government officials over removing symbols of the Confederacy and slavery around the South, the state of North Carolina has a 2015 law protecting their monuments--not that it made any difference to the actual law enforcement officials who sat on their hands while the statue of a Confederate soldier was being pulled down. The law prevents removing such monuments on public property without permission from state officials.


Durham County Sheriff Mike Andrews said Tuesday that his deputies got off their butts and are now working on finding out who was involved in the incident that they could have prevented by upholding the 2015 law. The department plans to pursue felony charges against those perpetrators.

Late Tuesday, NC Gov. Roy Cooper suddenly realized after all his years on the planet, that the remaining Confederate monuments on state property ought to be removed and directed officials to study the cost and logistics of moving them to historical sites or museums. He also tallied up the likely number of votes, both plus and minus, such a move would render him come next election.

"We cannot continue to glorify a war against the United States of America in the defense of slavery," Cooper said in a statement. "These monuments should come down."

So where this epiphany come from, Gov?

It's all politics. Everything has become politics. Everything has become us against them.

Sad!
