Idaho, USA: BLM chief suspected of Lincoln statue vandalism, arrested

A Black Live Matter chief has been arrested in reference to the vandalism of an Abraham Lincoln statue in Boise, Idaho within the month of February. The suspect has been recognized as one Terry Wilson, reported to be a spokesperson for the Boise chapter of Black Lives Matter.
“Officers chased after Wilson and were able to stop him and take him into custody, at which time Wilson was found to be in possession of a firearm, marijuana and drug paraphernalia,” the Idaho Statesmen quoted from a press launch by the police. “Wilson was taken to the hospital and was medically cleared before being booked into the Ada County Jail.”
According to the report, Terry Wilson has been charged with “several misdemeanor counts, including injuring monuments, ornaments and public improvements, resisting and obstructing officers, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.”
Terry Wilson claimed to be an affiliate professor on the Boise State University, nevertheless, the University advised Daily Wire that he “not a current student nor employee of the university.” An Instagram account related to him makes his political inclination abundantly clear.
A put up on the account rants towards ‘fascist’ Donald Trump and ‘neoliberal’ Joe Biden with hashtags included associated to the Black Lives Matter. He is suspected of defacing the Abraham Lincoln statue with faeces, paint and indicators.
“Vandalism is a crime, never appropriate, and those committing these crimes will be held accountable,” Mayor Lauren McLean had stated on the time of the vandalism. “At a time when our democracy is fragile, this is particularly disturbing as President Lincoln sought to keep our fractured nation together and to address the scourge of slavery — losing his life for it.”
“Activists with the Boise chapter of Black Lives Matter drew chalk figures with chalk blood on the sidewalk while demonstrating in front of Council President Elaine Clegg’s North End home,” an August 2020 report by the Idaho Stateman stated. “They also drew what appeared to be chalk outlines generally associated with homicide investigations on the sidewalk in front of her house. The outlines had red smears over where the hearts would be.”
The report recognized Terry Wilson as a BLM spokesperson and said that he advised them over a cellphone name that the demonstration at Clegg’s house was because of her vote of approval for Mayor McLean’s 2021 funds that allotted extra money for the Boise Police division.
