I wish these people wouldn't take their hatred out on the statues. They were not responsible for any of the deeds perpetrated by the people they represent. And we forget too easily that sculpture is an ART FORM and needs to be respected as such.
Defacing, decapitating, immersing in water and other such tactics will do nothing to reverse the sins of the past- all it does is shows the people doing them to be assholes who disrespect art.
