The headline is a bit of a lie, since 1. Gray was already planning to do this and 2. He can't do it on his own, he's simply seeking the city council's support to ask a state commission for permission to relocate the statues, which may or may not be granted.

Ultimately, this is all about Gray wanting media praise. Never let a crisis go to waste.

Looks like the American Taliban is kicking the crap out of the “Land Of The Free - Home Of The Brave.”

Gray openly admits he’s a homosexual.

Sick grab for MSM attention — they’re dealing with bodies in VA and Gray has to try to grab attention for himself.

This will now be used to eradicate Confederate statutes like the murders in SC were used to eliminate the Confederate Flag.

Erasing history is easier than I thought.......

So, this mayor guy is assuming that gazing upon the statue of a long-dead Confederate whose historical significance, to the overwhelming majority of today’s young people, is an utter mystery, will somehow incite violence? Who votes for these morons???

John Breckinridge was Vice President of the United States (1857-1861)...and a Democrat. He was the Presidential candidate of the Southern Democrats in 1860.

by destroying vestiges of the Civil War doesn’t that make the civil rights movement also irrelevant?

I don’t understand why more Southern men are not out protesting their symbols being torn down. Why is this being left to insane neo-nazis, many from outside of the South to protest this? Shouldn’t the millions of Southern conservatives be able to muster thousands of respectable citizens in Southern States to protest removing these monuments? Will they not get off their ass or does no one care or what? College football and other leisure pursuits are certainly not being neglected by this demographic, so it’s certainly not a matter of time or money.

Failure to stop the drive against Confederate symbols will inevitably lead to serious campaigns to remove Washington’s and Jefferson’s names, and then on from there to Lincoln for being racist, etc. There has got to be a more serious effort by conservatives to get active on this front now before the situation gets worse.

Communists, like Muslims, always erase their victims history because everything is always about them in their minds.

It’s a Satan thingie. Touch of the old spoiled brat effect.

When you can’t create, deface and substitute instead.

The obvious solution is just to rename the statues “Grant” and “Sherman”.

Speaking of attempts to erase a past that the present no longer likes or wants to see, Ukraine passed a law to get rid of it's Lenin statues. An artist decided rather than get rid of a statue he'd change it a bit. (Click on image for details)

The US Government, the Justice System, and the Media are thoroughly corrupt. The US Constitution has been shredded beyond repair.

The Global Marxist cabal is succeeding beyond its wildest expectations in destroying the nuclear family, Judeo-Christian values, Christianity itself, the right to defend one’s self and one’s family, and yes, the destruction of the white race. If you can’t see that by now you need to wake the **** up.

The war started decades ago. The combatants are diametrically opposed. There is no “unity.” There is only victory or defeat.

And the way this war is going the forces of God-less Global Marxism will soon be forcing their opponents into an “Alamo” and ultimately, extinction.
