Protesters in North Carolina posted a video Monday of their tearing down a Confederate memorial, the most violent of several actions against Civil War artifacts in the wake of the weekend violence in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Clips posted on social media show a group of at least a hundred in Durham pulling down a Confederate soldier statue in front of the local government building.
They can be heard yelling “No KKK! No fascist USA! No Trump!” until cheers break out as the statue atop the memorial gets pulled down. Many protesters can then be seen kicking the statue.
There is no indication in the video that any police officers or other officials are trying to stop the public vandalism.
One protest organizer told local TV station WNCN that the group committed the action as retaliation for the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, which turned deadly when a car plowed into a crowd of counterprotesters.

Leftist socialist communist leaning liberal DemocRAT politicians in these cities selectively enforce the law. If they agree with WHY someone is breaking the law....then okay we look the other way....if we AGREE with the protestors rioting, burning and assaulting people....then it is okay.....this attitude shows how radical and dangerous this movement in the DEMOCRAT Party has become.
