I don't think they should be allowed to destroy the statues but I admit I'd probably be disturbed if I had to walk by a constant reminder of something that held me of a time of state whether I lived during that time or experienced something related. These monuments should have been removed a long time ago to museums, a place where history is taught.
They are coming for the museums too.
