Christopher Columbus, Statues, And Kill The Colonizer

Summary: statues of christopher columbus were vandalized in multiple cities in Connecticut the night before indigenous peoples day (Columbus day). Red paint were thrown on top of the statues, the words “FAKE NEWS” and “Kill the Colonizer” were graffitied on the pedestal of the statues. Officials believe the anarchist group Revolutionary Abolitionist Movement is behind the vandalism. The group is affiliated with the Antifa movement, which urged members to deface statues using the social media hashtag #destroycolonialism. Angry protesters had defaced Columbus statues before as a result of the Charlottesville rally in August.
Reaction: I understand why people would want the statues of Columbus taken down, seeing how Columbus is no longer viewed
