I have to believe that in most cases these statues are being destroyed, out of spontaneous zeal, as I would put it.

I wait in hope to be contradicted.

Destroying history/truth has always been easy for the leftists.

I’ll point out...as old DDR (East Germany) went south, and integrated into West Germany...then Germany itself...statues got pulled down.

No one took an accounting. I would take a humble guess that a minimum of three-hundred statues got pulled. Based on discussion....most all got taken to some remote city or state property, and dumped into the middle of nowhere.

Now, the most famous of these that got removed...was the Hitler-horse statue, or ‘Trabenes Pferd’. It was a bronze statue of a horse...no swords...no fancy words...no Roman character...just a horse.

There were two of these and they sat at the old Chancellor building in Berlin. They disappeared one day. Government folks simply put them into some military storage building. Then....oddly enough, they were stolen, and put onto the open market (getting caught by the police).

I think all of these Civil War statues will be removed to some dump or hidden city property....and will lay there until ‘recovery’.

That Durham statue, bent and broken...should be preserved as it is to show future generations what happens to a country that flirts with extremism.

My criticism of this article...this is great to know, but how can we deplorables out here help? Nothing stated who to contact, etc. if you link at their page, nothing is said about the statues.
