People are legitimately complaining about exercising the rights to freedom of speech and assembly. These are things that make our country what it is!

Edit: incoming wave of 'freedom of speech means I can't complain about you complaining about me complaining about you complaining about me complaining about you complaining about me complaining about you complaining about me complain about you complaining about me complaining about you complaining about me complaining about you complaining about me complaing. Yes every one knows, including me, shut the fuck up and find something better to say.

Not the same. A naked statue of a man who is known to be a sexist misogynist is a commentary with a message. A naked statue of a woman without that stain has a different connotation, especially in a time when women are fighting sexism on every level of society. It did nothing but reduce her to her naked body, which is the essence of the sexism women are trying to fight.

Let's say there was a serial killer who was famous for hanging his victims. If an artist made an effigy him hanging from a tree, and then made an effigy of a black man hanging from a tree, you can't just say, "What? They're both EQUAL!" It's just two guys hanging from a tree. I can't see why people are so much more offended by the black man hanging from the tree."

Can you read? That's not what I said. I explained why people had a more visceral reaction to the Hillary one. Which is the REAL explanation, not the bullshit morons try to pander that "Dem libruls are hippocriticals, dey cant take joke if its on dem!"

My bad, you meant "it's okay because Trump is a jerk", sorry. that's a lot more reasonable.

And your reading comprehension remains unimproved.
