so, conspiracy minded peeps, did they remove REL now, because the statue was objectionable, or because the statue was in the way of a treasure hunt for rumored priceless bounty?

What did they find in it that they don’t want us to know about?

Don’t give the commie freaks more credit than they deserve. They’re not smart...just evil! I hope the ghosts of the real heroes of this country haunt them and their families to the grave!

Um: Time capsule, Solar storms in the news, unknown equation. This has the story line something like “Knowing”.

Should they put him back together, would they rename him
Humpty Dumpty, satisfying all the anti-truthers out there and keep the Old General for future Generations.

Dallas’ Robert E. Lee was put into storage. Will we ever have the opportunity to see his image at Lee Park once again?

Hopefully these will not be destroyed, but (rather) preserved in order to place them in their respective positions when sanity is restored to our insane civilization. No need to spend OPM twice. Once is enough!

absolutely preserved - the workmanship was something you don’t find today. Sacriligous to some, but why not just cut him out of the saddle and leave the horse? They cut him off anyway ‘to move under the freeway’. so?

I guess I just like statues. But it’s also that, we bent over backwards to idolize the conquered indian. Gave them tens of millions of acres of land. While we shut conquered generals in the museum basement and never did make the South whole -even kept southerners from going west for a time much less industrialize to compete with the north.

The statue is gone, the dead is done so all we can do is laugh and poke fun at their antics. But not too long, because ‘they’ are not satisfied with southern heros - now they want the Lincoln memorial

They wanted to find the old time capsule because it justified their new, "woke" one, which is full of gay pride stickers, kente cloth and flags and George Floyd stuff.

They’ll probably replace the Lee statue with Marx.

I think they may have kept the statue if they won the war. But do we really celebrate losers of wars? I don’t think we’ve seen it before.

NO ONE before said anything about as time capsule.

It’s there, but like toys on Christmas morning, only good little children can find it.

” the statue was in the way of a treasure hunt for rumored priceless bounty?”

I was just thinking the map to the Confederate Gold was in the time capsule

So at this point only two options exist:

1. Send in Geraldo Rivera

2, Send in the Oak Island guys.
