Doubt it was the Religion of Peace this time. Probably gonna sell the bronze for drug money.

Confederates, both of them.

I guess we know what’s going up in New Orleans in place of Robert E. Lee.

Perhaps the thieves confused them for confederates

[Gman]

Nah. They’re going to be melted down to make Commemorative Tablets and Eyeglasses...

[BenLurkin]

Is $125,000 the melt value of the bronze?

[zek157]

I’d say it was worth $1600 at about $2.00 a lb.

Call mitch landrieu. He’s known for making statues disappear.

A rational person would have thought that the “Living Prophet” would have seen this coming!!

You folks know what Brigham Young once said? (And I can only assume it is STILL in force...)

"Now if any of you will deny the plurality of wives, and continue to do so, I promise that you will be damned;

and I will go still further and say, take this revelation, or any other revelation that the Lord has given,

and deny it in your feelings, and I promise that you will be damned.

  - JoD 3:266 (July 14, 1855)

Northgate Business Center?

1/2 block away, 300 W. turns into BECK Street!

[Parley Baer]

Not a very sophisticated operation here. They left the vehicle lights on all the time which would gain notice. Looks like two men and two women. I bet they will be caught shortly with the video. People will recognize the vehicle and probably the people. One girl had a limp.

Thank GODS they've been found!!!

The local Government prolly took them down in honor of the other history served and brain dead anti confederate states these idiot think if you remove history you remove memory

Question is when do they start feeling that they need to remove people who know history of the civil war as they are making noise more than a statue ?
