A group of anti-Confederate protesters aren’t happy enough with the declaration by the city of Memphis that it wants to dig up and move the remains of Confederate general Nathan Bedford Forrest.
They want it done now.
A group surrounded a shovel Wednesday and ceremoniously removed a chunk of grass and soil.
“We are going to bring the back hoe, the tractors and the men with the equipment to raise Bedford Forrest from the soil of Memphis,” Isaac Richmond with the “Commission on Religion and Racism” declared to awaiting TV cameras, CBS 3 reported.
EXCELLENT article...thank you for posting that...hope you don’t mind if I make a thread out of it...something people need to be reminded of, especially with all this going on against Our President...
Please, go ahead.
Thank you... ;0)
Yep. No one will do a damn thing about it.
Whistling past, aren’t they?
My great grandfather fought on both sides. Really.
Holy crap.
That one’s a diehard NeverTrumper, I think they dug him up and buried him over at Red State.
Just a matter of time.
There he is! Had a crush on him as a tiny tot.
Nothing like the smell of fresh hatred from the left.

Why don’t they just call it the Peoples Soviet of
abused ancestors or something snappy like that.
It is all they are.
This is all straight out of the communist playbook.
One only has to look at the history of formerly free
states that came to be ruled by communism to find the
same actors, the same “organizations”, the same divisive
rhetoric, all used to divide a people and make them
subservient to the socialist lexicon and once enmeshed
in that web of dialectic, the monobloc of communism triumphs.
We have lost all moral compass
so, what happened?
Were all of them shot?
Tennessee Title 40-13-220. Alleging grave-robbing.

Tenn. Ann. Code § 40-35-111
Class E felonies, the least serious felonies in Tennessee, are punishable by one to six years in prison, as well as a fine of up to $3,000.
Seem to me if they are going to do this on national television. There will not be a question as to whether they did it or not for the court proceedings.
Additionally, if CBS has been contacted and did not call the authorities obviously intending to make sure it happens, are they considered an accessory after fact in the action of a felony?
39-12-103. Criminal conspiracy.
a. The offense of conspiracy is committed if two (2) or more people, each having the culpable mental state required for the offense which is the object of the conspiracy and each acting for the purpose of promoting or facilitating commission of an offense, agree that one (1) or more of them will engage in conduct which constitutes such offense.
b. If a person guilty of conspiracy, as defined in subsection (a), knows that another with whom the person conspires to commit an offense has conspired with one (1) or more other people to commit the same offense, the person is guilty of conspiring with such other person or persons, whether or not their identity is known, to commit such offense.
c. If a person conspires to commit a number of offenses, the person is guilty of only one (1) conspiracy so long as such multiple offenses are the object of the same agreement or continuous conspiratorial relationship.
I’d love to see that happen.

He was one of the earliest proponents of affirmative action. He wanted blacks to become engineers, architects, and join other professions. Not sorry to tell the left that he didn’t found the KKK. It was around a couple of years before he took over. He disbanded it when it became too radical. The KKK we all know now reformed about two decades after his death. Ask some leftist how he’s to blame for that.
Seriously, the pompous know it all hasn’t been missed at all. And dear delusional Libby should be in a padded cell
Issac Richmond lost and they went home...???
but it wouldn’t surprise me at all if these insane idiots now won’t try it!!!
