There should be no reason anyone should be able to take down or destroy property. You can not change history. If you allow people to continue to destroy and change everything you will wipeout all history. There is no person here on earth that can change the past. All monuments should be protected just as the ones they continue to add daily in any state. There should be a law to allow all to see the past and the future of this country. We are proud Americans that deserve to have our history recognized. If there are some that can not abide by the laws they should have to pay the price for their wrongs. There are citizens that follow the law and our rights are being violated. Instead of taking down our history it should be protected even if you have to spend tax dollars to put up a fence and put up cameras around each and everyone. With that said I think consideration would be given for all not just a few that want to destroy National treasures that cost us a lot of money. Artwork comes in all forms and monuments are a form of artwork why are we trying to get rid of it all. Put up a fence and protect these treasures for the future generations.
