Cuomo: Statues coming down is a ‘healthy expression’
By Daily Caller News Foundation June 23, 2020
 

By Thomas Catenacci

Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York said he supports tearing down statues Tuesday, noting that it is a powerful statement about equality and anti-racism.

“People are making a statement about equality, about community, to be against racism, against slavery. I think those are good statements,” Cuomo said Tuesday on “Today.”

“It’s a healthy expression of people saying, ‘Let’s get some priorities here, and let’s remember the sin and mistake that this nation made and let’s not celebrate it,’” he added.

So he's saying breaking the law is "healthy expression?"  What comes after statues are broken?  Looting property of people you don't agree with?  Burning buildings of people you don't agree with?  Burning their cars?  Beating their families?  Oh, wait!  That's where we are now! :wtf:

I have a few questions for our friends on the Left:

What exactly is the Left's limiting principle on this so-called "healthy expression"?

At what point is it no longer defensible to destroy public or private property in the name of a cause or idea?

By what right, by what reason, by what standard are acts of looting and vandalism ever justified in a nation governed by the rule of law?   


I don't expect any answers, but it would be enlightening to hear some from our members.
"If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people."    -Calvin Coolidge
