Global News: 'The statue of John Deighton, more commonly known as Gassy Jack, was toppled Monday afternoon during the annual Downtown Eastside Women’s Memorial March. Video shared online shows ropes being placed around the statue and then it falling while people crowded around cheer. The statue stands at the edge of Gastown, the neighbourhood in Vancouver named after him.'
As the iconoclasts tore down the statue (as Maoists and other cultural-destroyers are wont to do), not one was called a nazi or a white supremacist or an extremist by the mayor, the premier, or the Liberal regime in Ottawa. Curious that peaceful working-class protesters are smeared by the media and the establishment, and destruction by blue-haired heifers is wholly ignored.
