If they take that memorial down by force, (the one in the cemetery), then all bets are off for how long the lenin statue stands.

While we are at it, why not burn and destroy all your German, Russian, and Japenese WWII relics? Throw those evil K98s in the fires and forges. Chop up those evil Mosins and Arisakas.
I swear the world has gone mad, and in an era of highly educated people or access to information it is inexcusable.

Start a GoFundMe page that says the DNC wants to send the statue back to Putin for trying to interfere with the election under a zero tolerance for influence banner......

Try again. This is private property on private property.
And while we're at it - explain to me why this is remotely connected to the removal of ahistorical participation trophies for some slave-owning traitors who lost a war?

It's sickening. For the record I don't give a flip about some statue. Is this the size of the fish we are frying? Yes, I understand I wouldn't want to live on Stalin or Mao street, any more than I would want to live on Davis or Lee street. If the people in the area vote to change the name of a park, then change the name and so on. Just mobs tearing statues down, well that crosses that rule of law line. What about black people named Washington, Lee, Davis, Jefferson, Sherman, etc?? Some point you need to let it go. It's called HISTORY. Learn from it. Don't let it eat your brain and don't let this shit be a driver for communist thugs.

Still waiting to hear from those who think the Confederate statutes should come down why we leave FDR's name on our streets, bridges, schools, etc, after his horrifying racist actions.

It's logically consistent is it not? If the left wants to see statues of oppressors and murderers taken down, why does Lenin get to stand? Those trying to point this out by threatening removal of Lenin are just trying to force them to be logically consistent. Furthermore, Lenin is a target directly because the core groups behind much of these Confederate protests are well known communist agitators, the media is simply unwilling to admit it. BLM, Antifa, etc. all demand referendums towards communism, and even say so if you spend the time to read their demands. Who better to target then but a hero of the revolution? For the record I don't think Lenin should be taken down (even though I think the statue is absurd) for reasons that have already been discussed. History should not be whitewashed because it hurts some feels.
