Another day, yet another statue of a military hero is reportedly under fire. This figure astride a horse was vandalized with the spray-painted words "Tear It Down."
Who was this historical figure? General Lee? Stonewall Jackson? Nathan Bedford Forrest?
No, this was a figure who hails from the north.
Of France:
The phrase "Tear it Down" was hastily sprayed in black paint across the base of the golden Joan of Arc statue on Decatur Street in the French Quarter sometime earlier this week. It has since been removed, with only the vaguest traces of the paint remaining.Nah, I wouldn't be so sure.The "Tear it Down" tag would seem to relate to the debate surrounding the city's ongoing removal of four Confederate monuments. But the statue of Joan of Arc, a 15th-century military leader, martyr and Catholic saint, hasn't been mentioned in the controversy to this point.
Amy Kirk Duvoisin, the founder of the annual Joan of Arc parade that ceremonially pauses at the statue on the first day of Carnival season, says she's confused by the vandalism.
"Surely, people realize she's not related to American history," she said referring to the French icon.

Feed em fish heads, they don't deserve to live in this nation.
Maybe they thought the flag she was flying was a Confederate flag. This is what you get when people who do not know history try to remove history.
Secessionist had she lived in the south, who knows.
Joan of Arc?! Did she own slaves too?
Ninety-five per cent of these moonbats can’t even tell you who she was.
So much hate, so little time.
/s
because these ignorant taliban fools who want monuments down have no idea about history. They see a statue and think it fits the socialist narrative
... and they are racists who hate White folks as well ...
Excellent!
‘Joan of Arc, a 15th-century military leader, martyr and Catholic saint’
no doubt a good number of people on this website see no problem with this...
where was that?
I hate to say this but they make Charles Manson gibberish talk sound sane. I can’t believe this is happening.
Nope. Nowhere to be seen.
They got a quality public education in New Orleans, Joan of Arc and Confederate Generals are easily confused, they are separated by hundreds of years and thousands of miles.
Don't know who did this, but neither the Reich, nor the KKK, nor most communist governments much liked Catholics. Antifa being a violent successor communist group fits in. What potential protestors did I miss?
They don’t care. The confederacy stuff was just low hanging fruit. They’re coming for all whitey and their history. Goal is to end western culture and this country as we know it.
Did we give up when Joan of Arc led the Confederate Army!? No!
I still think the Statue of Liberty needs to come down and be sent back to France where the French Muzzies can adore it.
They are one in the same.
Mark my words.
PETA will attack Ronald
