Is it a crime to destroy public property?

On the other hand, it could put a lot of people to work.

WHERE WERE THE COPS?
I don't much care where your political viewpoint is on the Confederate statues or school names.
Why are leftist groups allowed to destroy monuments they don't like?
We have arrived at the point in time that city and state officials stand by and allow this to happen.

DURHAM, N.C. (WNCN) – A crowd of protesters gathered outside the old Durham County courthouse on Main Street Monday evening in opposition to a Confederate monument in front of the government building.

Around 7:10 p.m. a woman using a ladder climbed the statue of a soldier and attached a rope around the statue.

Moments later, the crowd pulled on the rope and the statue fell. One man quickly ran up and spat on the statue and several others began kicking it.

Destroying public property should be prosecuted.
