Abraham Lincoln statue vandalized in Chicago

Fox News reports:

A statue of young Abraham Lincoln has been defaced with red paint and words referencing troubles with Native American tribes

The statue has stood in Chicago’s Edgewater neighborhood since the city donated it to Senn Park in 1997. 

And over Thanksgiving weekend residents around the park found the statue covered in splashes of red paint along with the words "COLONIZER" and "LAND BACK." The vandals also may have written "Dakota 38" in possible reference to 38 Dakota Sioux members executed on Lincoln’s order following the U.S.-Dakota war in 1862, the Chicago Tribune reported.

The angry left is big on destroying property.
