Here is a statue of Pancho Villa, a known murderer and rapist. I know of stories about him riding into town and the people would have to hide their little girls in holes in the ground, covered with boards and dirt to protect them from rape, kidnapping and killing. He stands in the middle of Tucson, Arizona at the main entrance to downtown. There are many who would like to see him gone and replaced with this statue of Father Kino [see below], the Jesuit missionary, depicted as a tired, humble friar on a just-as- tired horse and now displayed on the side of a road in a not very visible position, as compared to the destructive bandido Pancho Villa in the middle of downtown. In keeping with your thought about the influence of statuary, I can assure you that the militant illegals and their supporters in this sanctuary city would never deface Pancho Villa. Father Kino??? He is just out of the way and not very visible.
