There are two questions?

Is it every okay to destroy property that doesn’t belong to you?

If it is, when does it cease to be okay?

This whole “it doesn’t affect me” is the same thing BLM is arguing against. They want people to quit ignoring the problem, and listen.

Jun 22, 2020, 8:55 AM [ in reply to I have a problem with people destroying things... ]

For me, in 70’s and 80’s I visited 6-8 Civil war battlefields and read inscription to better understand one perspective of the history. I have been to museums since then and read displays and inscriptions on a few statues.

When at Clemson, usually went in side doors to “THE Old Main Building”. Rarely saw old Green Tom.

Or maybe they don't have much at all going through their heads. And maybe people pulling down statues don't either.

Instead of viewing the world as liberal vs. conservative, perhaps we should consider smart vs. stupid.

That's true. And whoever tore down a statue of Grant is an idiot that doesn't even know who he was.

I'll never forget at the trial of the guy who smashed his head with a brick, Reginald Denny went and hugged his mother in court.
That was a good man.

My similar story from the night of the Orange Bowl 1/1/82.


Jun 22, 2020, 12:07 PM [ in reply to Re: Conservatives attempt to murder people ]

My girl and I and another couple left after the 'corn-shucking' and I had to drive my buddy's Toronado... He was a little too loose. Noticed he hadn't filled up so we needed some gas to make it back to West Palm...

We went a few blocks north of the stadium and under the Interstate stopped at a traffic light. Some guy walks up and tries to sell us some drugs. "No thanks" and we drove on a few blocks to a gas station. Pulled in and noticed a Clemson-flagged car off to the side with a police car behind them. One of the officers starts walking toward us, so I get out to meet him...

He asks, "What are you doing here?" I said we need gas. He says "Those people over there just got robbed. I can't guarantee you any protection. You need to hurry up and get out of here." I went to the bulletproof pass-thru window and paid, gassed up and we left.

Got stopped at the very same traffic light but this time there were 5-6 guys in front and coming to the side windows. I had my window cracked and told him "We don't want any." The guy closest to me said "I don't care what you want."

That's when I took the .45 in my lap and held it up in the air for all to see.

No need to run over anybody... They were GONE!
