Civil War II: Virginia, Sad R., Alfred Mouton Again, Kentucky and Mississippi

OCTOBER 13, 2020

**  Virginia House Speaker faces fines  over response to  requests for Confederate  statue removal documents.  (Regarding late-night removal of them from the Old House chamber.  How come so many times, the statues are removed late at night?  Does this say something about the folks responsible for their removal?  I know who else operates best at night.)

**  Group raises $45K toward city's $1.8M Confederate monument removals. (Sad R. again.  But, I agree that all costs for removal, storage and finding a new home for the statues should be borne by the people who want them removed.  No public money should be involved.)

**  Move the Mindset calls for quick reset after  hearing on removing Confederate statue delayed again.  (Lafayette, Louisiana.  Alfred Mouton statue.)

**  Murray woman  concerned proposed House bill hides Civil War history.  (Murray, Kentucky.  Does not want Confederate items removed from National Parks.)

**  Deadline nears for suggestions to rename Power Elementary.  (Jackson, Mississippi.  Named for Confederate Colonel John Logan Power.  Again, I am all for renaming if the majority of the students are Blacks..)

Two other schools in Jackson named after Confederates have already been renamed for a black activist and one for former President Obama.

**  March held for removal of Mouton statue, hearing delayed because of courthouse closing.  (Lafayette, Louisiana.  The courthouse is closed in the wake of Hurricane Delta.)

Sad R., Statue Removal Costs, Savannah, North Carolina and Louisiana

OCTOBER 11, 2020

**  The legacy of slavery and voting patterns in US elections.

**********************************

OCTOBER 12, 2020

**  Nonprofit raises $45K towards city's $1.8M Confederate monument removal bills.  (sad R again.  Again, all money for removals should be paid by those who want them removed and should not come out of public funds.  And, in the case of sad R., the mayor and governor should pay with their own money as well.)

**  Peaceful protest held at Confederate memorial in Forsyth Park.  (Savannah, Georgia.  Isn't it amazing that BLM can have a "peaceful protest?"  The statues have already been "vandalized" several times and a fence has been constructed around them.  But, at least it was a peaceful demonstration with no confrontations or hate crimes committed.)

**  For fourth consecutive meeting, commissioners asked to remove Confederate  monument from county property.  (Catawba County, North Carolina.)

**  Court hearing on removing Confederate statue delayed by courthouse closure.  (Lafayette Parish, Louisiana.    Closed in aftermath of Hurricane Delta.  Statue of Gen. Alfred Mouton.)

Even in Canada and Washington State. Come On Sad R, Take Down the Lee Statue

AUGUST 29, 2020

**  Protesters in Ridgefield, Vancouver,  rally in support of black lives.  (Canada.  Jefferson Davis Park has two markers for the Jefferson Davis Highway.  For Black Lives Matter and in honor of Dr. King's "I Have A Dream" speech.

**  Confederate statues would be removed from national parks in Gettysburg, elsewhere under Minn.  lawmaker's bill.  (U.S. Rep. Betty McCollum, D. Minnesota.  Imagine a Democrat doing something like this?)

**  Virginia Supreme Court gives Richmond green light  to remove city-owned  Confederate statues.  (There you go, Sad R.  Get that Lee statue down immediately.  You should be embarrassed at what you let BLM do to it.  Shows your class.  Since Sad Richmond is so gung-ho to remove all connection it has to the Confederacy, I am already crossing out the name of that city in all my books.

Last night, I was reading a book about the bread riots that took place in that city and just substituted the word "Sad" whenever the "R" word came up.  I doubt that I will ever go there again.)

**  Laura topples Confederate statue  after parish votes to keep it.  ((Lake Charles, Louisiana.  BLM extremely mad that they didn't get to do it.  But even Mother Nature seems to be against us.  A lot of Confederate markers in Wilmington, N.C. have recently been knocked down by hurricanes.)

**  By the way, congratulations to Wilmington, N.C., for becoming the country's first World War II Heritage City.

**  People hurl racist epithets at protesters outside Confederate  memorial in Clark County.  (Washington. The protesters here are BLMers and their white minions.   I see that BLM got a taste of language much like they give everyone else.  They didn't appreciate it.  Sorry guys.  At least none of their homes or businesses were looted and torched.  Sad to see defenders sinking to BLM level.)

Okay, Now. Take Down the Lee Statue in Sad Richmond. Hurricane Laura 'Topples' Confederate Monument in Louisiana

AUGUST 28, 2020

**  Protesters, counter protesters converge at Marshall County courthouse over confederate flag.  (Albertville, Alabama.  The county still flies the Confederate flag and has a memorial at the courthouse.  Hey, TV station WHNT, Confederate is a proper name and should be capitalized.  It appeared to be peaceful on both sides.  No Days of Rage.  Plus the Confederate markers were not victims of hate crimes.)

**  Supreme Court of Virginia tosses  injunction in Richmond Confederate statue removal case.  (Good, hurry up and take the statue and pedestal down.  Every time I look at it now and see what BLM has done to it, I get very angry.  So, let's get to it governor and mayor.)

**  Hurricane Laura 'had other plans' for controversial  Confederate statue in Louisiana.  (Lake Charles.  150 mph winds toppled a tree which toppled the monument.  Two weeks ago, the city decided to keep it standing.  No word yet as to its fate.)

**  Caroline supervisors  must now decide where to relocate Confederate monument.  (Bowling Green, Va.)

**  To tears and cheers, the Portsmouth monument is being dismantled.  (Virginia.  Again, hurry up and get it down.  Seeing what the BLMers did to it angers me immensely.  If there ever was such a thing as a hate crime, they sure committed one here.)

**  Racist or history? Majority Latino and Black Texas high school debates changing its Confederate name.  Baytown, Texas.  15.2% Black, 72.6% Hispanic.  I am all in favor of changing the name.  Any time a Confederate-named high school is predominantly minority I am all for a name change.)
