Agreed to all of the above.
Do you honestly believe the mob had planned all that in advance, though? Or was it just a happy accident set in motion by a bunch of fuckwit SJW's practicing some social disobedience?

My understanding is that people have been objecting to Colston's statue and the failure to address the slaving aspect of his history for many years.
I think the BLM protests gave momentum and a much higher profile to complaints that people had been making for a long time, with limited effect. Given the mood of the moment, I think people seized the opportunity to knock the statue down, and I reckon that was no bad thing.
