Poetic justice in Portsmouth VA

In the wake of the George Floyd Memorial Riots, the antifa iconoclasts and loonie lefties are at it again, all across America -- and in the UK and Canada too -- trying to haul down statues of President Jefferson Davis, General Robert E. Lee, and assorted other 19th-century white men, all of whom were racists, dontcha know.

In the capital of the Confederacy, Virginia Governorand Panderer-in-Chief Ralph Northam promised to remove the statue of General Lee, but was prevented from following through by a temporary injunction halting the removal for ten days, so a lawsuit challenging his authority so to do can be decided. The suit was filed by the descendant of a family that deeded the land on which the monument sits.

Meanwhile, just down the I-64 in Portsmouoth, "protesters" beheaded four statues on a Confederate monument last Wednesday evening, after the monument was defaced with spray paint. A "protester" told reporters that an apparent "demonstrator" was badly injured after one of the toppled statues fell on his head.

Demonstrators began spray painting the monument after Portsmouth NAACP* president James Boyd and the local organization's vice president, Louie Gibbs, were briefly taken into custody and charged with trespassing, according to the Virginian-Pilot. Their legal moouthpiece -- not "Rev" Al Sharpton -- told the newspaper that both NAACP leaders were released on a summons about 30 minutes later.

So far, the statue has not been charged with any crimes or misdemeanors, but Gov Northam has pledged justice for all the "protesters". Sounds to me like one of them has already received poetic justice!

*Footnote: Someone told me, many years ago in the Heart of Dixie, that "NAACP" stood for five critters commonly found in the South, the second one being "Alligators". Wish I could remember what the other four were.
