On Wednesday, Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney ordered the immediate removal of all of the contentious statues in his jurisdiction after widespread protests.
Work crews began removing a statue of General Stonewall Jackson that afternoon, while flatbed trucks and other equipment were also spotted at several other Confederate monuments along Richmonds famed Monument Avenue.

Are the statues attacking people now? They are planning on forming their own autonomous district south of the Mason-Dixon Line. It will be the Chaz States of America.

I’m so proud of the Democratic Mayors and Governors in this Republic. I’ll bet if Mexico decided to invade the US they would all be standing in line to surrender.
To: Stravinsky
Article says statues had to be removed quickly, per the mayor, because protesters are already toppling statues and somebody could get hurt.
So this action is done to keep the anarchists from downing statues because the city has already done it for them.
Am I the only one who sees holes in the mayor’s reasoning abilities?
To: Stravinsky
Well, I guess you virtue signalling Yankees won. Enjoy.

How many more statues must we topple to achieve Utopia? Are we there yet?
To: bwest
Yes, it was.
Cruised it many times over many years.
This is so sad.

They’ve already done that, that is what sanctuary cities are all about, the colonization of parts of our country.
