The work of racist in Kansas
Only a coward performs an act such as this.
Americuhhh
Stupid Natzis
Cowards will be cowards……
Time marches on, with or without people who won’t see that we’re all human beings.
Well, when they allowed all the other statues to be illegally torn down and no arrests for investigations, even after they were well filmed and distributed, this is no surprise.
Lol I still know who Jackie Robinson is.
you gotta love it!
DUDE WTH?!!
Jackie was a legend!
Why don't you guys vandalize people who aren't legends… like all those rappers with crappy*** music?!.
Jackie actually stands for something more!!!!
Why is this a big deal?
What about all the other statues that authorities didn’t seem to care about?
Too bad the thiefs don't realize burning the statute doesnt burn his legacy/the facts !
America has always been a racist country. Decent Americans have been fighting racism for hundreds of years. Jackie Robinson deserves better. Vote against hate. Vote Blue America.
Happy Black History Month
This is a hate crime. Obviously, they didn’t steal it to melt it down For scrap metal.😢

Wow
I know contractors who wouldn't even do that unless you paid them well and these two did it for free. That's a lot of work and energy to just fuel these two people's hate. I would be very careful with these two.
Don't F with history white or black!
This was just stupid…
Probably fans of Bob Boyd who found it disrespectful that they put up a statue of Jackie Robinson and not him despite the fact Jackie has literally zero ties to Witchita
Let me guess. There wasnt a camera anywhere around.
Move on
People have no respect anymore, shameless.

"ARF!" [meaning – Dang! Doesn't it feel good to getta away from rampant dumf*kery!] – Toto
No respect
Republican party standards in action
Here goes the race baiting to cause more division and distractions for the invasion that's taken place here at home. They want us divided so we're easier picked off and not able to form militias to protect our family,friends,and loved ones.
Who has inspired this hatred
It is just a statue and not a person. People are removing confederate statues it seems all the time. Shalom
So chief, why is it in their best interest? You going to unsubscribe them from life? It’s Just a statue of some bronze American baseball player. Not really a hero or anything. Just some dude that did something mediocre.
Mareica has not moved on one inch..sad but true
I thought it was okay to tear down statues of history? I just can't keep up with what part of history is allowed to stay up! SMDH:)
Did they think the statue was a living breathing man?
Rumor has it a black dude did this how messed up is that?
This is extreme jealousy in my opinion Very ugly destroying such a tribute and a piece of art
Poor little whites 😢
This world has become insane.😢
So sad and disrespectful.
