On what would have been his 198th birthday, Sir John A. Macdonald's statue in Kingston, Ont., has been defaced by vandals, with the words 'murderer', 'colonizer', and 'this is stolen land' written on the monument.
No one has any idea who did this........none, zip, nada. But we all know who will be ....blamed.
Not sure about Texas. It would think it would be more the Natives angry at the Columbus concept than the Mexicans.
Well putting paint on a statue is a lot better than other things that have happened in history.....such as the bombing of the Hotel David killing 90 innocent people when Israel was demanding their State. The Native people just want to be treated fairly and with respect in their 'own' land.
proud of doing both of these terrorist acts
Possibly. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do when someone isn't listening. The Americans did it....the people in India did it....the people in Ireland and the list goes on and on and on. History is strewn with people who have stood up to those who were on their land and controlled them by one means or another for too long.
I have not heard the term " Indian " in years
Blame it on Columbus.
The same kind of people who deface the murals painted on buildings in London - or claim to be artists and paint graffitii on private property.
They do? Usually graffiti artists are respectful of other's art.
What was it, about a year ago when Grant Gardner at the auction house on King had a mural painted on the side of his building because he knew vandals would not deface it.....but he came to work and found men painting it over with black paint because the by-law officer of London said murals were not allowed. I'll bet the city paid deep for that!
