A protester was seriously injured last night during the destruction of a statue of a Confederate soldier in Portsmouth. After decapitating the statue, the vandals threw a rope around its neck and pulled it down. Unfortunately, it landed on a fellow protester.
“There was a gentleman who was directly in front of the statue and when the statue finally did give way it came and fully hit him in the head,” a local Black Lives Matter representative told news reporter Brett Hall. “You could see his skull was actually showing, he was convulsing on the ground. He lost a fair amount of blood, we’re asking everybody to pray for that man right now.”
I hope the guy recovers. As for everyone else, I have one word:
Idiots.
