Bree Newsome took down the Confederate Flag and Theresa Patricia Okoumou scaled to the base of our Lady Liberty
Yes, she made it to the base, and that is where her, our Statue of Liberty's feet, have been firmly planted for centuries.

(1,632 posts)Where he harboured the 2 degenerates that went on to shoot those Las Vegas cops.
Y'know...the guy that owed a million or more in taxes for grazing on public lands but was too cheap and didn't want to pay like every other responsible law-abiding rancher in the area?
Y'know, the guy that then raised an army of moochers and losers to point guns at the various law enforcement agents in efforts to look tough, waving that snake flag everywhere?
Y'know...that guy whose followers (and at least one of his sons, if not more I think) then later on took over an unoccupied bird sanctuary and whined about the cold and lack of snacks?
They're definitely a bunch of cowards that wave that flag.

Always amazed that the knuckledraggers would embrace a flag thats YELLOW...

(108 posts)I know these are dire times and she drew attention to this important topic of immigration but she also put herself in danger. She put her rescuers in danger, too. Someone could've slipped from the base.

(18,037 posts)Bree Newsome recited psalm 27 as she took the flag down and psalm 23 as she was led away in handcuffs.

(2,067 posts)Common misconception. The statue is only about a century old; it was installed in the late 1800s. The famous Emma Lazarus poem was installed even later, early 1900s.

(18,037 posts)I sometimes work with a group of nuns who are trying to establish a sanctuary at their mother house in Brentwood, LI. When I showed them the video of true Christian, genuine social justice warrior Bree Newsome, it left one of them in tears.
