NEW ORLEANS (WWL-TV) – The city of New Orleans has cancelled the start of the monument relocation bid process that was scheduled Monday as the matter continues to be stayed by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.
The decision to remove four monuments that celebrate Confederate era figures or events and the bid process to have them removed has been marked by controversy and court hearings.
The city council voted late last year to have the Robert E. Lee statue at Lee Circle, The P.G.T. Beauregard statue near City Park, the Jefferson Davis Memorial on Jefferson Davis Parkway and the monument to the Battle of Liberty Place tucked away off of Canal Street, declared nuisances.

RE Outside Agitators:
So, the question then, is why don’t people tell them to Go F*** themselves and NOT comply?
Because New Orleans has a knee jerk mayor and council.
Yeah, they couldn’t handle any potentially unlawful incidents because all their cops were still busy looting.
I don’t understand what you are talking about.
Hey, if you want to piss off the Left, take down the Confederate monument and put up a bigger one of Gen. Andrew Jackson, re the Battle of New Orleans in 1814 (actually I think it was Jan. 1815).
Since he is being evicted from the $20 bill, he needs a new home. Ray Nagin’s Chocolate City is a great place for him since he defended it, and even got a song made about it - “The Battle of New Orleans” by Johnny Horton.
What a guy!
Now, don’t tell any Indians that he’s coming to town. He is now well liked by them for his policies and the Trail of Tears tragedy. On this he was not a nice guy.
Time to breach the levees and flush the sewer rats in New Orleans...
Start a petition to have the city council declared a nuisance.
They gonna shut down the Dixie beer company too?
Somewhat off topic, yesterday in the supermarket, I discovered New Orleans Ice Cream Company is now featuring a flavor called Chocolate City.
Poor suggestion.
Leave that monument where it is.
So the city council has been taken over by ISIS?
I have nothing against the Confederate statue. Just making a suggestion that would, guaranteed, piss off the racists and the Leftists. I love pissed off racists and leftists. Gives us so much to use against them.
When are they going to rename “Jackson Square “?
Andrew or Stonewall? How about both? The more Liberals you can pi$$ off, the better.
Are they on city property?
If so then yes they have the right to do this.
On the other hand, how many more enemies can they afford to make?
If it’s private property, it’s a harder argument to make.
And muzzies too.
That sounds like something Ben and Jerry would come up with.
