They didnt destroy the statue, it will likely be put in a musuem where his story will be told, good and bad.

He discovered America is what he did. He was a brave Italian explorer. And in this house, Christopher Columbus is a hero. End of story!

He didn't discover it; there were already people here. And he thought he was in India the whole time...

Antonio Meucci invented the telephone and he got robbed! Everybody knows that

The amount of people “from jersey” that don’t get all of these soprano’s references bothers me. I laughed at all of them 🤣

Didn’t most of these commenters almost drown in 3 inches of water? At the penguin exhibit.

I’m literally part Viking, my ancestors were here 500 years before Columbus. NOBODY “discovered” a damned thing.

Excuse me, let me tell you something... When America opened up the floodgates and let all us Italians in, what do you think they were doing it for? 'Cause they were trying to save us from poverty? No, they did it because they needed us.

They didn't destroy the statue but they did damage it when they dumped it on a city vacant lot on Verona Avenue across the street from the shuttered Seton Factory. A local resident walking up Verona Avenue saw & recognized the mangled statue on a broken pallet among the weeds, in plain sight from the sidewalk. Separated from the public by a chain link fence.
