Please provide objective statistics which support the Under Attack All the Time?

Free speech is a right in the united states. We get to say and express what we believe in or state what we think is wrong. If we are talking burning down churches or destroying statues in front of churches (which happened recently here in CO) that is against the law.

I don't know that that figure (85%) is correct. I think that is an assumption on your part.

Again, I think this is an assumption on your part. It may or may not be true. But regardless does not give anyone the right to destroy it.
