So tell me when society ever advanced without some sort of rules or laws to control behavior.  How does it usually turn out when one group says they don't need any authorization from anyone to do whatever they want?

What is your guarantee that everyone will agree with every action taken by every mob?

I have no problem with removing offensive statues.  But I have a BIG problem with a group of radical activists making that decision instead of "society".

This was a decision made by the institution with the backing of the TR's family. It wasn't mob rule. Same with NASCAR banning the confederate flag. Same with Aunt Jemima removing their old logo. Have there been statues torn down and vandalized? Yes, and if you want to talk about those, we can have a conversation about whether or not isolated incidents of destructive protests is indicative of an erosion of law and order and the incidents throughout history where we have gone back and applauded those who engaged in such behavior after fitting them into the narrative of our progressive history. 

In the meantime, please keep your strawmen away from me.
