For a second week, Saturday headlines are filled with news of growing protest rallies calling for the removal of Confederate Monuments from public spaces. Earlier today, a Free Speech rally in Boston hosted by Confederate supporters, ended abruptly as thousands of counter-protesters showed up for the event.
Tonight at 7 p.m. at Dallas City Hall the nation’s eyes will be on Dallas for the In Solidarity rally planned. Organized via Facebook, thousands are expected to attend the rally calling for the removal of Confederate Monuments on public property. .....
This afternoon, via his Facebook page Mayor Mike Rawlings called for respect for law after it was discovered a statue at Robert E. Lee Park was vandalized. The city has cleaned it up, however, now going forward the site will be monitored by police to prevent future vandalism.
It is time for us to get creative and take some action on this. Maybe patriots could drop flowers or other loving and historically accurate quotes anecdotes before these monuments
Should post snipers with an order to shoot vandals
Hate to say it but with each of these riots (and that’s what they are), changes are growing that gunfire will erupt. Of course, it’ll be those who want weapon confiscation who will carry out the deed.
Bubba is coming. Don’t mess with Bubba
That park in Dallas named after him has been known as gay hangout for many years.
Whenever there was a gay demonstration they always gathered around the General, for some odd reason.
Why would they be protesting when they could be home watching the Cowboys play the Colts?

Yep; at least since the 1950s, when I was in HS in Dallas.
The area where Lee Park is located is known as “The Oaklawn”, which is chock full of gays.
The four black guys on the city council were on local news Friday night. They said that Monday a special committee would be established to determine when and how the various statues would be moved, where they would be stored and who was going to pay for all that.
The south rises in Lee Park. That makes sense.
In the 60s they had the Lee Park Massacre. On Sundays the hips would gather there and a group of longhairs went skinny dipping in Turtle Creek just beneath Lee Park, and numerous squad cars pulled up there on the blvd to do something about it when some hippie threw a half gallon wine bottle and smashed the windshield of the squad car.
That set it off, the cops came from everywhere, smashing hippies with their nitesticks and flashlights.
You know they are going to stick us with the bill.
“the cops came from everywhere, smashing hippies with their nitesticks and flashlights”
I love a happy ending...have to be careful here, given the nature of the up-thread comments ;)
