First of all, you can’t “unhappen” history. If you don’t want to look at a statue, drive or walk on another street. This preserves your constitutional right not to look at the statue, as well as preserving your fellow citizens’ constitutional right to look at it.
Very simple. But, but… then I couldn’t cause any havoc or destruction. I don’t really know who most of these statues are or what they represent, I want to get my jollies by pulling down arbitrary statues and monuments so I can get in the news. And what else am I supposed to do? I’m supposed to stay at home or socially distance, but if I attend a statue toppling party, I can hang out with my buddies. I only wish I could recognize the ones that have masks on.
