http://dailycaller.com/2017/08/30/christopher-columbus-bust-beheaded-in-new-york/A Yonkers, N.Y., resident found a bust of Christopher Columbus beheaded Wednesday, and police are now investigating the scene.
The police suggested that the perpetrators could be responding to the Charlottesville rally and also suggested juveniles could have found the statue’s head, which was found discarded beside a plastic bag.
“It’s very upsetting that American values have sunken to the level they are today,” said Pat Gamberdella, the resident who found the ruined statue, to NBC New York. “It’s unfortunate because I did go up there and I did see it all smashed.”
