ANOTHER OUTRAGEOUS DEMAND BY A SMALL GROUP OF AGITATORS. THEY ARE PAINED THAT COLUMBUS ALLEGEDLY KILLED NATIVE AMERICANS WHEN HE NEVER SET FOOT IN THE UNITED STATES CONTINENT. NATIVE AMERICANS KILLED MORE OF THEIR OWN DUE TO TRIBAL WARS. IT IS TIME FOR THE MAYOR OF SYRACUSE AND HIS FELLOW POLITICIANS TO "PULL UP THEIR BIG BOY PANTS" AND DENY THIS REQUEST. HE HAS TO LEARN THAT NO MATTER IF HE GIVES IN TO THE GANG THAT IT WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH AND THEY WILL ASK FOR MORE. REMEBER ST. PATRICK'S DAY MAY BE NEXT SINCE IT IS LIMITED TO WHITE
IRISH CHRISTIANS AND IS NOT INCLUSIVE OF ALL FAITHS AND RACES.

I learned about this monument from my immigrant Sicilian family who also went through challenging times. Do not take it down! Removal of it is sign of DISRESPECT... NOT respect for anyone. In the catholic churches we have statues of our beloved saints. Because some are non-believers, do they come down, too? This is out of hand... more destruction of our syracuse/,onondaga community will be the result of all of this behavior.
And... Our country is named after an Italian... is that going to change, too?
Let's march 40 days & protest and work on the gang related crimes and leave the statues alone. Let's save lives by eliminating the crimes of these gangs who are our young... stay in school....what kind of future are you to this area.
They are important to us all. Let's get that job done first.... our lives matter!
PS... the Irish have a beautiful corner /monument on the west side... that is great!
Thank you for this opportunity to speak on behalf of my family!

Italians were also treated harshly when they came to America. But they rose above it and have contributed so much to our Country. Columbus was not a perfect man, but as Jesus said "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone".

Columbus set out to explore new lands . Him and his crew suffered and sacrificed their lives to find America. The statue represents his mark n history that we all should recognize.

Stop the fashion to vandalize statutes. How ridiculous. They have stood for many, many years and need to continue to
stand for many many more. How many great people have not done something wrong. None of us are innocent. Do something good for someone else and help make this a better world.

It needs to stay !!! My grandparents came to this country for a better life and worked very hard. Columbus is a part of America history and Syracuse, NY. I am appalled that the mayor would ever consider removing it. God created us all to be equal and everyone’s life matters irregardless of race, color, or where we came from. God bless America.
