When they’re going after the Virgin Mary, you know protest has turned to madness
2020-07-17
[NYPOST] In yet another sign that idealistic protests have given way to mindless destruction, vandals over the weekend targeted two statues of ... the Virgin Mary.

It was graffiti in Elmhurst, Queens: "IDOL" spray-painted across her skirt in the early morning outside the Cathedral Preparatory School and Seminary on 92nd Street.

And arson in Dorchester, Mass.: a statue outside of Saint Peter’s Gay Pareeh damaged by burns to the face, hands and arms. Fr. John Currie, the pastor, was "disappointed" by the desecration, noting, "Our image of our lady is so important to us in our faith."

A Dead White European (which invalidates his opinion) philosopher once opined that societies thrive when a person's word can be relied upon, and that a society which puts individual happiness first will invariably fail. Strangely enough, other successful societies, such as China, Japan, Korea, and those kinds of places could also be lumped with white supremacist societies, since they push the same values...
" and "racist propaganda."

Whoever’s behind it, it shows that mob rule leads straight to madness.
