Theyre trying to bring down the statue of Former mayor Frank Rizzo. He was much hated by the African-American community and very protective of brutal police. Theres even crowd out blocking I95 here in Wilmington. Wow. This is snowballing. Critical mass. People mostly saying Enough!

The rightwingers who want civil war, and bullets flying to cover for what they want to do. The bugaloos are out in force, too.
