Like so many of us in these troubled times, I am worried about the family statues.

The topple-mob cannot be reasoned with in this most irrational of revolutions, which insists on racial confrontation despite furious moral agreement that all black lives matter, George Floyd’s in particular. It insists on fabrications about the higher rate of indigenous versus white deaths in custody – false, says the Institute of Criminology – and it laments the alleged injustice of having so many blacks in prison.
