Wisconsin Man Who Allegedly Ripped Down Statue Of Abolitionist Is Also Charged With Looting A Jewelry Store

Police in Madison, Wisconsin, on Friday charged a 30-year-old man in connection with the looting of a jewelry store during protests in May over the death of George Floyd, and for his alleged role in toppling a statue of an anti-slavery Civil War hero earlier this week.

Kelsey D. Nelson was charged with burglary after he was identified on camera looting Goodman’s Jewelers in the Wisconsin capitol on May 30.

Nelson was part of a large group who broke into the jewelry store and stole tens of thousands of dollars in merchandise, according to WMTV, Madison’s NBC News affiliate. Nelson himself took $10,000 worth of jewelry, the police report stated.

Police also said that Nelson was identified from surveillance camera footage exiting an SUV that was used to tear down a statue of Civil War hero, Col. Hans Christian Heg, on June 23.

The removal of the statue generated widespread outrage because of Heg’s role in the abolitionist movement prior to the Civil War. Heg was a member of the Free Soil Party, which formed in the 1850s to oppose the expansion of slavery in the United States, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.

Sounds like a great guy. Just sorry I did not get to talk to him and update my watch stockpile while learning all about civil rights and the Civil War.

On May 10, 1933, the Nazis torched a few hundred books they found offensive because of religion, pacifism, etc.

But the Nazis burned only a tiny fraction of books so I guess their effort was "mostly non-burning"?

The President of Mexico has more reverence and regard for our "dead traitors" than our own Democrat party:

I believe that a lot of this is driven by hate mongers, leftist media and the socialist agenda.

In 1996, when Bill Clinton visited Mt Rushmore during his re-election campaign, ABC news called it a place where American ingenuity and American creativity came together and formed an amazing American accomplishment..

In 2008, when Barrack Obama campaigned there, CNN called Mt Rushmore a majestic site and every president should visit..

In 2016, Bernie Sanders campaigned there and said he was humbled to be in to be in the presence of 4 of the greatest American presidents.. CNN described the scene as awe-inspiring...

2020...Trump visits...CNN called it a celebration of white supremacy and Trump will stand before two former slave owners on land wrestled away from Native Americans...

If people think the media isn't agenda-driven, they have thier head in the sand.

Eye-opening examples of the ridiculous hypocrisy, Chip. I knew of the Bernie Sanders example because they've been showing the video of it, but wasn't really aware of the other two.

Just an aside, but I heard that brain-dead Biden basically said today to defund the police. How anybody could vote for that is beyond me.

I really destest what our media is doing. Some of them need a solid punch right in the face.

Bunch of frauds.

It's a cult. Like ISIS, you will not defile their shrines by going about your daily life or living.

You can literally deface and tear down statues and monuments, but tire marks is over the line? On the street?? Yep, we, as a society are lost and I don't see us coming back from it. This BS goes on everyday.

I need a new set of rear tires for my blue beast. I always get a good burnout in before I replace them. I think it's time I start protesting my own way..

It's a bullshit front organization. Pay real.close attention to who is aligning themselves with this group.
