If a statue is anti-American, can it be torn down? What if it honors someone who is arguably a traitor? What if it depicts slavery or subjugation of humans? What if it implies that some people are better than others?
How do we draw the line between what public statues can be torn down and which ones not?
Easy. The answer is none. Vandalism is vandalism regardless of the property being vandalized. A government can decide to tear down or move or replace a public statue. Mobs cannot.
