The BLM mobsters in Bristol have torn down a statue ofSir Edward Colston and chucked it into the Dock.

Maybe they were offended that this man was a slave trader...he bought black slaves from other black men( as Less noted) and sold them...but that was not the only thing he did.

He was an MP...he was responsible for setting up schools, hospitals and almsshouse to make the lives of the poor people in and around Bristol more acceptable.

I wonder if those who did this act of vandalism knew anything about the man other than he traded slaves...and back then it gave work and put bread on the tables of Bistolian families....it is impossible to turn back the clock, nor should we forget that what these men did at the time, we cannot and should not be apologising for.
It was of the time....historical.Can't be changed...throwing his statue into the drink makes it all better does it?

Maybe ANY acto of vandalism or violence is made acceptable if it is in the name of BLM
