You can’t change our history by removing the statues. We learn from our history to not make those same mistakes again

If nothing else it is a beautiful piece of art and it is part of History. The Italians contributed a lot to this city and should be able to be represented by preserving this Statue.

Don’t cave to the cancel culture mentality. You forget that you just as much represent those who believe the statue should stay as you do those you are caving in to.

Leave monument alone. Many things offend many people but it's not right to erase our country's history.

This is part of history. Leave these statues alone, or remove every statue whatever they represent.

I think Ben should also remove the Stone Throwers statue and the Tipp Hill stop light and put them in Nedrow as they are offensive to me. The Saint Paddy's day parade should also be canceled, and Coleman's should not be allowed to Celebrate with their obnoxious crowds.

If he didn't come here we wouldn't be a United States.

History is history you can't really change it by taking down a statue. People of this mind set don't really understand. A statue doesn't hhurt you. If someone slaps you in the face, they hurt you. A statue doesn't touch you. You weren't even born when the statue was made and given to the U.S. Learn to understand your history instead of trying to change it or tear it down. We are supposed to learn from our mistakes, it would sure be nice if this generation would wake up and start to learn instead of trying to tear everything down.

Save the Italian heritage by keeping the people's statue.
