#1 Commenters on their facebook page are hammering them about their extreme ignorance regarding Houston. Others are warning them they have targets on their backs.

This is NOT California.

Unlikely.

#3 The only surprise is that it's taken this long for the lunatic left to acquire other targets.

#4 And anyone who bothered to stay awake in Texas History classes would know that ole Sam was opposed to slavery and was impeached as governor because he was opposed to seceding from the union and joining the south in the Civil War.

Totally ignorant of the facts.

The FATHER of Texas, the hero of San Jacinto.

#6 Seems like anti-terror laws ought to apply to groups and individuals that are bent on tearing down the U.S. Many use violence as well as property destruction as a tactic. Here. One group identified as being behind the effort to remove the Sam Houston statue is Texas Antifa. It is linked to an organization named The Alliance for Global Justice Corp. Their 990 form filed with the IRS is Here.

One problem is that so many of these left-wing groups are interlocked and connected with many other left-wing groups, financially as well as ideologically.

#8 Surveying comments in both the Texas Antifa Facebook page, and in relevant articles, if Antifa does move forward with their attempts it will get ugly very fast. Austin mayor sez the subject is not even on his agenda, but again this is Austin

#10 Next on their agenda, the Washington Mo unenthusiastic and the Jefferson Memorial. And then we'll have to rename Washington, DC answer Washington state. And all the cities named Washington. And Jefferson. And on and on.

#11 If Antifa tries, they will be very upset by the result.

#12 Working their way up to the Founding Fathers.

#13 If the Nazi wannabes Antifa want to come play in Texas, they will discover that this isn't the People's Republic of California and the natives are NOT friendly to them.
