Original Note:
Arrests for property damage, such as toppling statues, are common. Regardless, toppling a statue is not the same as committing violence against a person or group. People matter more than property. To suggest otherwise is a false equivalency. https://effectiviology.com/false-equivalence/ https://apnews.com/general-news-ee7cce8c5fbf4860bee02269806c17e4 https://news.sky.com/story/bristol-arrests-as-four-charged-with-toppling-edward-colston-statue-plead-not-guilty-12198707 https://www.cbsnews.com/news/christopher-columbus-statue-vandalized-miami-florida/
