Removing Confederate Statues with Some Modicum of Respect and Those Wild and Crazy State Senators

AUGUST 19, 2020


**  Supes (county supervisors) decide on final site for Confederate statue.  (Columbus, Lowndes County, Mississippi.    It was in front of the courthouse and now will be moved to city-owned Friendship Cemetery where it will mark graves of Confederates buried there.  Much effort went into this.  Too bad Sad Richmond couldn't have done this before the governor and mayor went ballistic.)

**  'Not a good look':  Rep.  Wilkes says posting  photo of Confederate flag was accident.  (Mississippi State Rep. Stacey Hobgood-Wilkes, R.)

**  State senator charged with 'injury' to Confederate monument. (Virginia.  Louise Lucas, D.)

**  Detailed plans in place for careful removal of Lee statue.  (Sad Richmond.  Surprisingly, it will be removed carefully and seemingly with respect.  Hopefully out of sight of BLMer and their white minion eyesight.  It is hard to believe that the state governor (who stands reelection in 2021) would develop a heart.)

**  (Now, once the Lee statue is removed from the former Monument Avenue in Sad Richmond, only two statues will remain that need to be removed.  The Arthur Ashe statue needs to be moved somewhere else to a prominent spot and that statue in front of the art museum needs to be moved inside.)

There Should Not be Any Statues on the Former Monument Avenue.  Turn the area into a public park.  --Old Secesh

I Saw What the "Protesters" Did to the Lee Monument in Richmond

"Protesters?"  They were really rioters and looters.

That was sure a huge amount of "vandalism" as they like to call it.  And, I am sure all the Confederate monuments on the avenue were similarly marked.  Could this be considered a hate crime?

Sadly, the amount of time it took to do that meant that the police must have been there and allowed it to go on. Probably figured that it was better to have the "protesters" doing that than looting and pillaging or causing confrontations.

I'm sure that statue in front of the Virginia Art Museum just off the avenue was untouched.

CW II: Ole Miss Confederate Monument in the Crosshairs Now and a New Statue in Virginia

December 6, 2019

**  Board considers plan on moving Ole Miss Confederate monument.

**  Agency mulls Confederate monument future.

**  Archives board OKs plan to move Ole Miss Confederate statue.

**  UNC students march, protest Confederate statue settlement.  I have to have a big laugh over this one.  It was their breaking the law and hate crime which led to the "payday."

**  Nikki Haley claims _____ ____ 'hijacked' the 'heritage'  of the Confederate flag in church massacre.  Nikki Haley was governor of South Carolina when the Confederate flag was removed from the state Capitol.

I do not believe in naming murderers is the reason for the blanks.  I can not believe this guy is still alive.

**  Crews prepare for statue made in response to Confederate monuments  to be placed at VMFA.  Virginia Museum of Fine Arts

How about that, a new statue going up in the South and believe me it is not a Confederate statue.   I wonder if the Confederate-haters will "vandalize" this one.
