I just saw on the local CBS (Channel 5) news at 5 o'clock that this Lincoln statue in front of San Francisco City Hall was vandalized. Lincoln's face was painted bright red; Lincoln's name on the base was also painted bright red. Film footage of the damage was provided. The news report indicated that the statute has been cleaned.

Idiots!!! Idiots acting out of ignorance and misinformation.

A statue of Abraham Lincoln was vandalized in San Francisco as a school district committee pushes for the renaming of Lincoln High School and others, authorities said.

Deputies responded to a call about the incident at 12:55 p.m. Saturday, the San Francisco Sheriff’s Department told McClatchy News in an email. The suspect had fled before deputies arrived, according to the department.

The statue has been restored and deputies are still investigating.
