In an article the chief of police says that an "elected official" gave the order to not enforce vandalism. I read that as the mayor told police to stand down. As far as the angry men, we don't live in Portsmouth and don't want to go to Portsmouth. Let them try that shit in Gloucester where there's a similar Confederate monument and you will have armed men guarding it, they don't put up with that shit out there. They had a protest out there recently and it looked more like an anime convention. Half the people marching down the street looked like they were in middle school.
The point isn't to win, it's to get police involved. If you and a handful of buddies show up and start a counter-ruckus, then the two mobs start attacking one another, the police that are watching will break it up.
And probably disperse both crowds then secure the area. All we have to do is resist them, but no one is.
Who the fuck is allowing this to still happen? I mean:
Why are authorities not breaking that shit up immediately, it's mass vandalism
Why are groups of angry bearded Southern men not showing up to stop them

I'll tell you about the later. It's not worth it. The violent mob by myself? Even with some buddies? No win situation.
