NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana - The 'Take 'Em Down Nola' group, which has aligned itself with the Black Lives Matter movement, is now saying publicly they plan to tear down New Orleans' most iconic monument in the city.

During a protest outside of New Orleans City Hall, a group of Take 'Em Down Nola, which has made threats against the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) and Mayor Mitch Landrieu's administration in the past, said police will have to step aside this weekend as they plan to physically tear down the equestrian Andrew Jackson monument in the French Quarter.

"So you plan on tearing down the Andrew Jackson monument?" one reporter asked the spokesman of Take 'Em Down Nola.

"Yes," the spokesman responded.

When asked about how sure Take 'Em Down Nola was on the threats of ripping the statue down, the spokesman said "That's not a threat, that's a promise."

"We understand that the city and the police department are going to be out there to try and prevent us [from tearing down the monument], but we're asking them to step aside and let us do what is our civic duty," the spokesman said.

-----

The group says they are expecting hundreds to come out to the Andrew Jackson protest to help tear down the monument this coming weekend.

Crystal.

They don’t give a @$!$, because the US is EEEEVVVIIILLLL, so anything related to US is bad.

It’s Ameriphobia, big time.

We’ve been suffering from it for 50 years. It’s metastasized to the point of no return.

[morphing libertarian]

IIRC the british and the US were signing the peace before the battle. But it’s a nice story.

[PhiloBedo]

Despite his personal faults, J. Edgar Hoover would never have put up with this, or the emails, etc.

[DJ Taylor]

Yes, the Battle of New Orleans occurred after the War of 1812 was over, but news traveled slow in those days.

[morphing libertarian]

they should ,have sent an e-mail blast. The senate ratified (remember wen the senate ratified treaties) in Feb. The battle in Jan.

thanx for your reply

[elcid1970]

Who’s the NOPD chief and what are his politics and those of the mayor? Do they ally with BLM?

Those factors will determine if the statue stays up.

The Charlotte police chief is squishy soft and look what that’s accomplished. And the mayor is a clone of the former Baltimore mayor.

Well, at least they're on the right track.

[katykelly]

Silly guy , of course they haven’t heard of it , they go to government schools . But I’m sure they know how to put a condom on a cucumber .

[jsanders2001]

Enough is enough. Come and get them but be forewarned you may not walk away without a bullet wound. George Soros must be hunted down and removed from the living.

[jsanders2001]

< BLM is a terrorist organization that operates with the full endorsement of the President.

Right on the money.

[jsanders2001]

> That’s the thing; If they’re successful they win. If people get killed they win. That’s the kind of evil that we’re going to see now. While Obama sits back and rubs his hands together.

Get a huge sprayer with permanent white dye. Spray it all across the crowd so they’ll start beating the $hitout of themselves plus they’ll get to live as white men for awhile.....: )

[jsanders2001]

< These B.L.M.s are as dangerous as radical Islamic terrorists. Why isn’t the F.B.I. rounding them up? James Comey, do your job!!! Now! would be the operative moment!

Because our own own government is so corrupt ow the BLM has practically become their street culture terrorism unit

...IIRC the british and the US were signing the peace before the battle. But it’s a nice story...

And a fun song,

Lyrics:
In 1814 we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans
We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin’
There wasn’t nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin’
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
We looked down the river and we seed the British come
And there must have been a hundred of ‘em beatin’ on the drum
They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring
We stood behind our cotton bales and didn’t say a thing
We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin’
There wasn’t nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin’
On down

Oh this is gonna be good. In front of all the tourists peobably on tv. Not a good day to be in the French Quarter. The police SHOULD open fire when gang violence erupts,bur N.O. cops wont. Maybe they will pull it down and.it will crush aome of them. I'm sure a statue that better represents the city can replace it...a big welfare pregnant babymomma.wirh 10kids around her. That would be soooo nice.😄😄😡

[2111USMC]

Great. I’m flying down there Sunday for four days for business.

I’ve been worried because our hotel is on Lee’s Circle which, of course, has a statue of Lee.

[bgill]

All they understand is violence.

[kearnyirish2]

No, they haven’t heard of the Battle of New Orleans or the War of 1812. They are illiterate, and know nothing of history or culture; implying they should is “raciss”.

[kearnyirish2]

No, those street names serve as warnings for unwary travelers unfamiliar with an area. Leave them be...
