They will not stop until every vestige of Western Civilization is destroyed or they are stopped (and preferably destroyed).

The city of Charlottesville, Virginia, officially removed its statues of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee and Gen. Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson on Saturday.
Viewing areas for the removal of the statues were erected so that bystanders could watch cranes lift the statues from their plinth blocks; the process was nearly complete just before 9 a.m.
Photos and videos posted to social media show a crowd gathered to watch the process on Saturday morning.
Charlottesville Mayor Nikuyah Walker spoke at Saturday's gathering, calling the removal "one small step forward" in an effort to dismantle White supremacy, according to VPM reporter Ben Paviour.
Initial plans to remove the Lee statue came about in 2016, prompting White supremacists and other extremist groups to use the monument as a focal point for events such as the 2017 "Unite the Right" rally.
The statues will be held on Charlottesville property until they are sold, according to a Thursday press release from the city.

Trying to erase history and the men who made it.
DemonicRATS continue to whitewash their racist history.
this is racism, against a group of people
who DO NOT DESERVE it.
The Western Taliban roll on unabated with their destruction of history that doesn’t conform to their ideological dogma.
Democrats = American Taliban
Even some people on the left are turning on this. I don’t think it’s going to go the way in which they think it will.
Yep. Taking the statues down will definitely change history...you twits!
How many Native Americans did Lee slaughter?
How about Jackson?
Same question: Sherman, Sheridan, Nathaniel Lyon?
Build Trump statues instead.
If they are going to remove these. This is the way to do it rather than having mobs tear them down.
Being the BDSholes the woke butches are, then the Holocaust Museums, since they offend the tender sensibilities of Fauxcastinian Tlaib, Brother F***er Omar and all their jihadi comrades in arms🤬
“...White supremacists and other extremist groups ..”
I believe the record will show there were a few “white supremacist” individuals and a larger number of citizens who didn’t want the stature desecrated or moved, there in the park with a permit to meet. Antifa was in the street waiting for them when the mayor canceled the permit and ordered police to move the statue supporters out of the park into the streets where the mob of extremists was waiting for them.
The media can really change the content of a story to suit their own fancy.
Exactly right. That is all I can think of while reading this. And it is going to happen real soon.
Nah, they just want to replace it with a different sort of history. I’m sure there will be calls to replace them with statues of Marx and Engels.
They will not stop until every vestige of Western Civilization is destroyed or they are stopped (and preferably destroyed).
like they’re any more upstanding in terms of character. Robert E Lee was a very special and conflicted man - but they couldn’t be bothered with such details.

He should resign simply for uttering such nonsense. My Dad and I have ancestors who fought for the Union, but I still suspect that he would be saddened by the removal of these statues, which represent the soldiers, not the slaver politicians.
Lee and Jackson???
Seriously?
That’s like anathema!
