I'd be careful with that principle. The will of the people is only as good as the people.I don't, though let me be clear that I'm fine taking down all the statues if that's what the people want.

Ironically very nazi-like. Book burnings anyone?Watching those ignorant fools kicking that statue, just what exactly did they think they were accomplishing?
By the people, I mean acting through the law. Angry mobs need not apply. Get up off your lazy bum and elect the people you want so they will change it. No need to be careful about that in respect to removing statues from public squares.I'd be careful with that principle. The will of the people is only as good as the people.

There are an elite group of people who want us to go to war with one another.My fear is this is only going to get worse. There are people all over who seem to want to go to war with one another. I'm about ready to let them go to a cage match "Hunger Games" style. Only one walks out and then they are alone forever. I'm sick of people who just want to wrong another because of their race, creed, color, religion, or whatever. Leave others the hell alone to live the life they see fit.
You find it odd that this Richard Spencer guy's wife is a Putin loyalist from Russia?There are an elite group of people who want us to go to war with one another.
yes, and we're only talking about one of themSadly, not always. You should remember Europe was divided between NAZIs and communists, and one major thing they shared in common was a lack of respect for existing institutions.
Exactly. But I wish it weren't so.
Brilliant! Right?After a day of work at the Engineering Research Center at the University of Arkansas, Kyle Quinn had a pleasant Friday night in Bentonville with his wife and a colleague. They explored an art exhibition at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and dined at an upscale restaurant.
Then on Saturday, he discovered that social media sleuths had incorrectly identified him as a participant in a white nationalist rally some 1,100 miles away in Charlottesville, Va. Overnight, thousands of strangers across the country had been working together to share photographs of the men bearing Tiki torches on the University of Virginia campus. They wanted to name and shame them to their employers, friends and neighbors. In a few cases, they succeeded.
Good job, morons. I hope they are proud of themselves.Fearing for their safety, he and his wife stayed with a colleague this weekend.
“You have celebrities and hundreds of people doing no research online, not checking facts,” he said. “I’ve dedicated my life to helping all people, trying to improve health care and train the next generation of scientists, and this is potentially throwing a wrench in that.”
i'm generally pretty good until folks start having torch wielding mobs along with heavily armed militia marching in the streets, telling folks they are going to take the country back from those people, and looking for a fight.My fear is this is only going to get worse.

I know Pulaski Tennessee tried this. Does anyone know how it played out?but what they want is attention best way to solve that is to not give them any
"Our protest is to turn our back on them. We're shunning them to let them know they don't have a welcome mat here," said Bob Henry, a leader of Pulaski's show of solidarity against the rally by the Aryan Nations. "We think brotherhood is better than prejudice."
Angry mobs can and often do act through the law. When a majority of people become uncivil, so does the law. Removing statues out of ignorance is wrong whether it reflects the will of an ignorant minority or an ignorant majority. However, I will conceded, all things being equal, it is better for the angry mob to follow the institutional process in place than to just blow it up.By the people, I mean acting through the law.

Never heard of it. Whatever the town did apparently worked.
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
Made additional remarks on Charlottesville and realize once again that the #Fake News Media will never be satisfied...truly bad people!

Now, this is just sloppy journalism. I need to know whether this yute was a neo nazi or a BDS zealot before I can react.
Would you consider Putin, who's probably the richest man in Russia, an elite?You find it odd that this Richard Spencer guy's wife is a Putin loyalist from Russia?
BLM and the other Soros funded mobs fall under the other, I'm assuming?yes, and we're only talking about one of them
We've been without true leadership for 25 years and counting.Trump lacks moral leadership because he lacks a moral compass. I truly hope people begin to wake up to what he is doing to this country.
Seems to only be getting worse. Would you agree?We've been without true leadership for 25 years and counting.
