Protesters from the Black Lives Matter movement vandalized and toppled a statue of Col. Hans Christian Heg, an immigrant from Norway who died fighting for the Union against slavery, on Tuesday night in Madison, Wisconsin.

Local ABC affiliate WKOW reported:

    Protesters pulled down the Forward statue that normally stands outside the State Capitol and left it lying in the middle of the road.

    …

    The same group also tore down the Col. Hans Christian Heg statue a short time later. The group then went on to throw the statue into Lake Monona. Heg fought for the Union during the Civil War and was a stark opponent of slavery during that time.

Irony.
Mixed with... stupidity.

But... remember:
The issue is never the issue.
The issue is... the revolution.
