One of my daughters and her family are in D.C. today, I told her it was great my grandson could see the monuments before they are torn down.

Tar doused on Confederate statue on Monument Avenue in Richmond

RICHMOND, Va. — A large clear tarp now protects the base of one of the Confederate statues on Richmond’s iconic Monument Avenue that was vandalized at some point early Saturday morning.
Richmond police said someone used two cans of tar to deface the monument to Confederate general J.E.B. Stuart at Monument and N. Lombardy Street.
“There are a lot of inflamed passions right now and people are not necessarily thinking straight, which is not a good thing,” Barry Isenhour with the Virginia Flaggers said.
The damage was discovered by a member of the Virginia Flaggers group just before 7 a.m.

Or it means that a lot of them are concerned about telling how they really feel to a stranger on the phone. Democrats are hard on the folks who might try to leave the plantation.
