    Bad, bad statues, go away.... statues pulled down by protesters

    Protesters in San Francisco tore down statues in Golden Gate Park on Friday

    Statues of Ulysses S. Grant and Francis Scott Key were vandalized, pulled down
    Grant, America's 18th president, was a Union general during the Civil War
    Key wrote words to America's national anthem, Star Spangled Banner
    Statue of Spanish writer Miguel De Cervantes was also vandalized
    President Trump on Saturday hit out at vandals who have been tearing down statues of Confederate leaders and historical figures who once owned slaves amid protests triggered by the police-involved death of George Floyd.

    Maybe each statue should have a QR code on it, with a web link that explains if it's a good one or not.

    All bronze people look alike, you know?

        If you live in a small town, you tear down what you have.

            Pulling down Grant's statue is poetic justice, after the destruction visited on Southern monuments, esp. since he contributed to unleashing the barbarians. I hope his tomb in NYC is next on the BLM hit-list.

              Mailboxes are pretty popular.
