In a bid to stop people from removing the tarps over Charlottesville’s Confederate statues, city officials placed plastic fencing around the monuments, forbidding anyone from crossing the barriers.

The black tarps covering the statues of Gens. Robert E. Lee and Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson have been ripped down from the statues six times since they were installed on Aug. 23. The coverings were put up in a gesture of mourning for Heather Heyer, who was killed in the car attack on Fourth Street on Aug. 12, the day of the Unite the Right rally.

Incredible! How can it be that today I learn for the first time that Heather Heyer died of a heart attack and was not hit by the car James Fields was driving? How can there be such a complete cover up of the truth in today’s Internet environment?

Next, flaming arrows perhaps. There will be other methods used if people can’t reach the tarps physically.
