I think vandalism is IDIOTIC no matter what.
But this? This takes it to a whole new DERP DERP level.
A horde of liberal morons vandalized a RAAAACIST statue of General Lee. But get this. The statue wasn’t of the infamous Confederate general…
The statue was of General William C. Lee … A WWII HERO.
Yeah. Really.
According to Daily Caller:
The statue defaced was that of General William C. Lee – who fought during World War II – not of General Robert E. Lee, the Confederate general during the Civil War whose monuments are now being vandalized.
Dear LORD, grant me the strength not to pull my hair out in frustration.
Mark Johnson, curator of the General William C. Lee Airborne Museum in Dunn, North Carolina, told WNCN that he never thought the outrage surrounding Confederate monuments would ever affect his museum.
“This is a hometown grown boy here that turned out to be an international hero of World War II so to come and try to destroy his statue is just an insult to everybody,” Johnson told the local affiliate.
Johnson also said he believes the vandals, who poured flammable liquid on the statue and then set it on fire, mistook the statue for the other General Lee.
“I think it was a big mistake,” Johnson told WNCN. “Why would you do something like this? It really just irritates people.”
I’d say “irritating” is an understatement. This is BLOOD BOILING.
The General William C. Lee statue is clearly wearing a military uniform more modern than what was worn during the Civil War. Johnson also told WNCN that his General Lee was not a racist.
I mean… surely he can’t expect these mouthbreathers to notice the UNIFORM. That’s WAY above their comprehension level.
Johnson told The Daily Record that no one has found any relation between General William C. Lee and General Robert E. Lee.
“Complete different generation, complete different war, complete different everything,” Johnson told the Record.
He also told the paper he believed the vandals were trying to follow in the footsteps of Confederate monument protesters but simply got the wrong man.
“So just an alert to people who may be thinking about such things,” he told the Record, “this is the wrong general.”
Again – it’s messed up REGARDLESS of WHAT statue they vandalized. It would have been wrong to vandalize the “right” statue, too.
But this? This just shows what caliber of MORON we’re dealing with.
