Some on our side need to be a lot more strategic. Pulling stuff down in a street action my give some a charge, but it damages our longer term objectives. It is better to educate a populace and have it WANT to have the statue taken down from public view, like more and more southern cities are doing with confederate statues, hell, even Ole Miss is moving a confederate statue from a well travelled part of campus to the Cemetary where the subject is buried.
