Boxing the city's Christopher Columbus statue was an act of appeasement to the Left's violent social justice mob. If anything should have been placed in a plywood box, it's Philadelphia's Democratic city leadership, cwtremo writes.
Christopher Columbus is free again in Philadelphia after a judge's ruling overturned a city order to box the statue. It had been hidden from the public since 2020 because of the radical beliefs of the city's toxic Democratic leadership. Ultimately, it was yet another example of the totalitarian overreach Democrats use to suppress anything that runs counter to their beliefs and ideologies.The whole ordeal began during the George Floyd riots in 2020.
Last Friday, Judge Mary Hannah Leavitt ruled that Kenney's actions were illegal and Columbus must be unboxed. Philadelphia had designated the statue as a historic object in 2017, oddly enough also while Kenney was in office, and as such, had a duty to maintain the statue, the judge ruled. "When the box was put up two years ago, it was done to keep people safe," Kenney said."There was a lot of conflict going on down there, a lot of fights, and it seemed like it was escalating. We didn't have the capacity at the time to remove the statue or the legal authority. We figured if we boxed it, we would put it out of sight, out of mind, which happened, and things calmed down. That's been kind of the status quo ever since.
