Non-blacks committing crimes again. Do any of them have any decent parents?
Just another in a long line of statues being torn down by bigots in the last 5 years.
All the racist really stayed consistent in passing the torch to their children and so on. Afer all them years passed and its still generational racism being taught.
If Jackie Robinson’s statue can be the target of racism 50 plus years after his death, can you IMAGINE what he dealt with when broke the color barrier back then??
His stats are nothing special, and/or spectacular.
Was found burned and dismantled..this and racist spray paint on a minority barbershop within a week in same city says everything
Looks like an inside job to get money through fundraising. After that black girl tried to burn down MLK’s childhood home last year, nothing will surprise me once this investigation is concluded.
Investigate BLM. This seems like something “juicy” that they would do.
I bet if it was a babe Ruth statue that wouldn't happen😮
That hot yogi bear too
It’s funny because he STILL ISNT the first African American baseball player 😂
If you found the truck then you know who it is
Well blm destroyed many statues that represented many USA achievements.. sorry don’t feel bad
That is sad 😢
Sounds like the motive is to cut it up and recycle it
The motive is clear, racism it was probably the klu klux klan.
Anybody ask the guy who stole the Ruby Slippers?
Did you check a brittish museum?
Would not surprise me if this is the work of woke leftist idiots in our society that want to get rid of our history.

Probably a jb supporter they have been taking down American history statues since 2021 just like recently the gov took down a statue in Arlington.
Unbelievable! Hopefully, this precious statue is found and brought back home.
I hate to say this, but this statue is on its way to a scrap yard. Roughly $2.50 per pound. That’s what junkies do.
so they HAVE the truck? then they HAVE the people.
It'll be at goldin auctions 😂 or pawn stars 😂
It was a wayciss statue anyway.
Adolis Garcia remains the mlb goat.
Bummer! The people of Wichita are trying to heal the Nation and this happens!
He stood his ground tho
It’s in Mar-a-lago
