Durham sheriff arrests ladder climber in Confederate statue destruction

The protester who climbed a ladder to help bring down a Confederate soldier statue was arrested Tuesday, and Sheriff Mike Andrews said his office will pursue felony charges against others.

“Let me be clear, no one is getting away with what happened,” Andrews said.

Takiyah Thompson, a member of Workers World Party and student at N.C. Central University, was arrested after activists held a press conference at NCCU Tuesday afternoon.

In a release Thompson said she was the one who tied a rope around the soldier’s neck so that others could pull the statue to the ground.

Identify every one present and charge them with inciting civil disobedience and conspiracy to destroy public property.

Convict their commie asses and let’s see how many ignorant idealists want to join their ranks….

Even if the prosecutor does not convict them, their Mommy will have to put up a lot of $$$$ to defend them. That should put a knot in their ass…..

Thank goodness this isn’t a “hate crime.”

By the way, does the sheriff always close the barn door AFTER the animals are gone?

Y’all have a nice day.

She’s the domestic terrorist with no understanding of what the war for Southern Independence was about and wasn’t about. Much like our weak kneed governor “Roy”.
