From the above article:
So certain protestors don't believe in lawful protest, going to your local politician etc or getting petitions to get a statue removed etc. but they feel themselves and themselves alone the arbiter of that decision to remove a statue & therefore don't believe in democracy. These people should be punished as per the law for vandalism, if they want the statues removed they can do it the democratic way & using peaceful protest, which has worked elsewhere, and stop acting like children.
Even that is acting like ignorant children. Judging our ancestors based on the morality of today is an intellectually and morally barren exercise. Had we lived in those days most of us would have had the same beliefs as our ancestors. Further, this judgement of our ancestors NEVER extends to judging other people's ancestors, or the context of the time in question. Thus Louis Riel is a wonderful, heroic figure, despite executing a guy who wouldn't respect him and his authority, but Sir John A is horrible for executing Louis Riel for murder. Hah?
