Frederick Douglass Statue

Recently I read that rioters destroyed a statue of Frederick Douglass. The people who did this might not have political motive but in the current state of America is makes it seem hard not too. Frederick Douglass was an abolitionist so it hardly makes sense that anyone on the BLM side of the argument would want too do that as it would seem ignorant. Then again it could have been a very right wing group of racists and white supremacists. There is also a very high probability that it was just a group of teens who find the destruction exciting. Personally I do not condone the destruction of anything that's not meant to be destroyed. Especially when you're trying to send a message. This ignorant behavior takes away from the true meaning of the message the group is trying to send. I think the majority of the people protesting don't even care about either of sides and they are just excited by the fact that they could get free stuff if they loot or get the rush of adrenaline from the violence. Overall i'm generally confused by the motives of the people behind this act.
