I wholeheartedly agree. This is wrong, wrong and wrong. The Monument removal thing must STOP! It is our common heritage.
I always thought erecting a statue was generally a waste of time. Not a political comment—just the fact that 50 years later no one remembers the person, and no one cares.
Generic monuments to war dead with names seem to be a better way for people to “remember.”
Statues that no one cared about, except the pigeons and the people that ate lunch there, are causing all this uproar. It’s just silly.
The only thing that bothers me is the pure art of the sculpted figure is being destroyed.
And...no one should just tear stuff down without the proper steps being taken. But replacing them? Not on my dime.
