The overuse of ! is irritating, and demonstrates a 'Daily Mail' mindset. Faux outrage abounds.

Can we listen to what kalidarkone (and others?) have said and just ignore the troll

Yes. Sorry. They are gone off the thread.
She's not dead. Did someone else die in the same incident? I read they've been arrested for attempted murder.
I won't take you seriously until you can show me a youtube video posted before 1980 showing this kind of violence.

A crowd-funder for the 4 Bristol defendants has gone live this minute - estimated required costs are going to be a min of 12 grand (btw, if you see some money in there already, it's nothing dodgy, it's just it was opened a few hours before for some private donations in order to have it hitting the ground running at midday):
#GladColstonsGone! Bristol Topplers’ Defence Fund!
On 7th June 2020, ten thousand people in Bristol succeeded where countless petitions, articles and other public objections had fallen short, removing a century-old public tribute to racism and slavery. For toppling the Colston statue, four of the ten thousand have been singled-out to face criminal damage charges and need our support before they go to trial later this year.
...
The toppling of the Edward Colston statue was a cathartic piece of non-violent direct action that rippled across the globe, igniting debates around racism, slavery and what we consider to be our 'heritage', as well as prompting many more local organisations in Bristol (from institutions to buildings to street names) to drop the Colston name for good.
The four protesters facing charges are due to appear at Bristol Crown Court on the 13th December 2021 for a jury trial lasting up to eight days. That means hefty additional legal costs, along with lost income and other expenses that we hope the rest of the ten thousand people who brought the Colston statue down, and supporters around the world, will ensure are covered.

Done. I like to think they'll get what they need. Not only were they right to do it, but few recent actions I can think of have brought so much joy to so many people (plus anger among wrong'uns).

For those interested in the Rhodes statue saga, Oriel said they wanted to take it down but this would ultimately mean wasting lots of money on planning appeals eventually ending up on Robert Jenrik's desk who would pretty obviously refuse it. So they decided it would be a waste of money to try and that the funds would be better spent on student access.
Now 150 Oxford academics are going to boycott the college, seemingly ignoring the above rationale. I suspect the government would absolutely love to reject any planning appeal, so this is all good stuff for them.

Even if she refers it, the not guilty verdicts cannot be changed. At most, the Court of Appeal can clarify a point of law for similar cases in the future. But it's not clear what point of law needs clarification; I've not seen anyone suggest e.g. the judge erred in his instructions to the jury, and criminal damage is very straightforward. It's just an empty gesture, as a bit of political pandering.
