The County Line
The insane idea of cleansing history is out of control in America and has graduated into an anarchy-like assault on authority.
What started out as a protest over the death of a black man in Minneapolis has even reached Hamilton County with the defacing of the statue of a police officer in Carmel.
History is history and it is not all clean. It cannot be changed no matter how many monuments and statues are removed or vandalized. But, radical elements in our society are trying, and we can only guess what the next step will be.
Will there be a move to change history books to present a more politically correct version of our past?
Too many people in leadership positions appear intimidated by radicals calling for all sorts of crazy measures, the most frightening of which is defunding police agencies.
Back to that defacing of the Carmel police officer statue: The vandals who did that have no idea who the memorialized Deputy Frank Carey was. He was shot and killed in 1900 by an unstable man who Carey was taking to court.
In the current situation it is time for reasonable people to speak out against the lunatics. Peaceful protest is one thing, but what we are seeing from coast to coast is not that.
