BALTIMORE - Contractors in Baltimore have removed several of the city's Confederate statues overnight.
The Robert E. Lee and “Stonewall” Jackson monument in Wyman Park Dell was removed early Wednesday morning.
The Confederate Women's Monument on West University Parkway was removed overnight as was the Roger Taney Monument from Mount Vernon Place. Taney was a Supreme Court justice who ruled African-Americans could not be considered citizens of the U.S.
It is unclear if and when the city’s remaining Confederate statue - the Confederate Soldiers and Sailors Monument on Mount Royal Avenue - is scheduled for removal.
A commission appointed by former Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake recommended removing two of four Confederate-era monuments in 2015. On Monday, Baltimore's City Council made the decision to remove them.
Current Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh said she wanted the statues to be placed in Confederate cemeteries elsewhere in Maryland.
In an effort to prevent the kind violence seen in Virginia on Saturday when white nationalists came to Charlottesville to protest the removal of a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee, Pugh did not announce when the statues would be removed.
On Tuesday, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan has called for the removal of a statue of Justice Roger B. Taney from the grounds of the State House.
Waiting for the commies to complain.
This forum isnt for 12 year old edge lords
"Grow up, dude?" "Edge lord?"
Don't get in a battle of wits with me, Cuck. You come unarmed.
Perhaps with the evil of slavery scrubbed from the past, there is no lesson from history to guide men against slavery. Then they can impose the evil of slavery in a totalitarian state where the individual is a slave to the state.
A lot of people like in the 1930’s couldn’t care less about Nazi’s burning books.
Agreed. Baltimore was a good town 40 years ago. And Haussner’s Restaurant was a landmark.
Smithfield ham and crab flakes! Mmmmmm!
Kind of an interesting phenomenon......I have noticed that some of the most miserable hateful black women wear wigs, (this nut, Maxine Waters, Michelle Obama, etc). I think they hate their color, if they were proud “women of color” they would not wear a “hat” to hide their heritage.
I want this and cannot find it on roku. Got a tip?
“it’s really not that hard to get people to do nothing.”
Right. We’ve become experts at burying our heads in the sand and doing nothing. Look at what the Patriots did in the 1700s with their limited assets and archaic methods of communication. In the 21st Century we have everything and can’t pull it together, get organized, and thwart the evil that is happening.
Thanks globalists. /sarc
I am thinking of the crucifix. The crucifix is a symbol of the Roman Empire’s savage treatment of innocent people. The creative minds of the Left will attack the crucifix the same way they attack the confederate flag.
Shutup.
Stop
Telling the truth about Dred Scott will only confuse them.
Actually it won’t because their closed and feeble minds are made up.
Oh look, a shiny red ball, let’s go chase it.
This is a classic move by the Left. Doing things in the middle of the night.
No input from the people.
Take a wild guess.
Malcolm X and Elijah Mohammed statues make perfect sense in Baltimore. A friend of mine was told by a Baltimore Public Schools administrator that they BEGIN history classes with the civil rights movement.
These statues are just old dead white guys, they couldn’t have been anyone important.
“I couldn’t care less about the Confederate statues being removed, but I agree that they need to get their priorities straight”
You don’t give a shit about the destruction of your country?
““In a stealth move aimed at avoiding demonstrations, the city of Baltimore quietly removed several Confederate monuments overnight.”
Just like the democrat wretch Daley did in destroying Meigs Field overnight.
No better than the taliban
They will have to come for the guns before bibles
“The suburbs and rural areas are solidly Christian and conservative, but weakening with the ever-increasing numbers of transplanted Yankees.”
Exactly what the South sought to prevent.
“They will have to come for the guns before bibles”
Goes without saying. It’s already in the works.
