So the Madison County Commission instead took steps to
break this law instead of doing something about the protesters. Never mind the fact that this Malone (a
Democrat) is a former police captain . . .

Some history on this statue....it wasn’t erected in the 20-year period after the war. This is true for probably 90 percent of the memorials and statues that exist today.
It was 1905, during a revival period over the entire state that the Democratic Party took advantage of local feelings (most of the participants were approaching mid-60s to mid-70s). Around the whole state, there’s probably over forty of these statues that are erected from 1900 to 1912.
Cost of the statue? Covered by the Daughters of the Confederacy.
So to the more curious piece of history. Around the mid-1960s...the statue was taken down as the new courthouse was being built. This was safely taken down, but put into a unsafe location at the site, and accidentally crushed/damaged by the construction company.
The DAR folks sued the company and forced them to pay for a new statue (so this is not the original one from 1905).

So, did they do this legally?
I hate removing everything, but much better its legal rather than just reckless vandalism.

The county will have to pay a fine to the state.

Does not look like it was done legally. Not that it matters to Democrats such as JesHenry Malone.

She got this ball rolling.
I knew when she did it, it wouldn’t stop.
And it won’t stop with just Confederate, either.

They removed a statue of songwriter Stephen Foster from Pittsburgh, which ticked me off, since he wrote about blacks, and there was one included on the statue. They are insane. Now, they are going after Lincoln, Washington, Jefferson, Feinstein (!). They will not stop. When or if they get complete power, it will be living people they “remove”.
