authority tearing down a statute, not a mob. I didn’t know rioters to distinguish much between what they destroy or tear down. I don’t recall anyone saying they wouldn’t tear down other than confederate statues.
While there are some fringe people who disagree, I still see no mass movement among the states and local gubments to tear down statutes of the Founding Fathers. Perhaps, my standards are somewhat low, but I have little problem with the proper authorities disposing of those who actively rebelled against the U.S and killed it’s soldiers. Mobs shouldn’t tear down anything. I don’t think the views of the vast majority have changed on that subject.
