Antifa announces nationwide ‘Deface Columbus Day’

Following multiple acts of vandalism on Christopher Columbus statues since August, a militant antifa group has announced “Deface Columbus Day” on Oct. 9 as a coordinated campaign to deface and destroy more historical monuments.

In Yonkers, New York, a Columbus statue was beheaded on Aug. 30. Antifa vandals were also responsible for the destruction of the oldest Christopher Columbus monument in the nation on Aug. 21. Vandals left the messages “Racism: Tear it down” and “The future is racial and economic justice.”

On Sept. 20, a New York City-based antifa organization calling itself Revolutionary Abolitionist Movement put out a press release on far-left extremist websites like It’s Going Down to call on their comrades elsewhere in the United States to take action and “decorate” their neighborhoods and parks. The group published a promotional video for the event.

Is that before or after, "Loot The Apple Store For The New iPhone X" day?

Columbus was a monster.
Let the monuments stand.
Build a restroom around it and let everyone piss on it.
I'm not with the antifa bunch, but screw Columbus.

Your title is in error. You say "an affiliate". The source says, " a militant antifa group". The title says, "Antifa". NNo they didn't But since when do your threads have to do with truth?

That said, go ahead. Screw with the Italian and see what happens.

I'd like to see one, just one historical figure that wasn't an asshole at some point in their life.

Just one.

Nikola Tesla? As far as I'm aware he was pretty undickish.
Columbus fed "savages" to dogs to honor the sabbath.

Some folks are hard at work to bring Fake News to ATS.

One "ANTIFA" group called for this.

That's basically equivalent to the Left Nut Squirrel Society of Roopville GA calling for a national demonstration on bird-feeders.

Well, at least Antifa does not discriminate against anything, they are attacking everyone who does not see things the way they see them.

Columbus was named after a city in Ohio.

He was born there but was an illegal from Spain or France.

Antifa get all the perks. $25 an hour plus free iphones, they get to punch people with no consequences, deface and even destroy public property with no consequences, fight cops with no consequences.

I think Emperor Norton was a good guy.

In regards to the OP, I don't know anyone that would argue for the decency of Christopher Columbus. That doesn't make his role in history any less important though. There are positive and negative lessons to be learned from his story and any monuments or statues should be used for just that.

There is a minority in the US that is going to kill the country.

My feelings on this are encapsulated in a quote by Neil Gaiman...

‘If you don’t stand up for the stuff you don’t like, when they come for the stuff you do like, you’ve already lost.’

They remind me of the the Symbionese Liberation Army from the 70s. The extreme Left has always had their terrorists.

Heh.
Patty Hearst was my classmate. Freshman year.
That's before she got famous though. At that point she was just really wealthy.
