They sprung a sham vote this afternoon around 2:00 pm and had a crane onsite in LESS than two hours ($50,000.00 + expense).
They got slapped down at 4:30 p.m. when a district court judge granted a temporary restraining order to the Texas division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans.
Some of the SoCV members concerned are black.
I wonder if this will slow things down and bring back the sane to the insane on this msm overhyped crap.
Otherwise, all statues, monuments, streets, towns, etc., for Lincoln need to come down. Abraham Lincoln:
"My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that."

We need to see more of this. Did I see where Alabama passed a law making it illegal to remove historical monuments relating to the Civil War? If so, WHY aren’t we seeing more of this??
Actions of the past are found offensive and result in statues being removed, ignorance of people not learning from history is even more repulsive, and their actions are eternally offensive
Wow! They could have rented a crane, didn’t have to buy it!
Wow, talk about being ready to go. They must have been planing this month in advanced given it takes the city years to do anything.
The mayor of Dallas is a jackass. And that is not all he is. He is an ignorant, incompetent and anti-American piece of liberal trash.
Listening to local radio talking about lying Mayor Mike Rawlings’s part in this.
Cost is actually above $500,000.00, not 50k.
The crane was on-sight BEFORE the vote.
Rawlings did not let the “study commission” finish their work as the crane was not powerful enough to lift it and not big enough by six feet.
City council members emails indicate the statues were going to be removed BEFORE they cast the “vote”.
“Study Commission” member was quoted as stating “they were not finished” and had presented NO alternative scenarios.
50 speakers were scheduled for comments of one minute each before the vote.
Didn’t totally happen.
.
Nothing like proglib comrat mayors and city council members eh??
.
Here’s another perfect example of Orwellian revisionism of history as a quote from a Dallas County councilman,
“ ”These monuments represent a false telling of history.”
Really?
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered.
And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped.
Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right....George Orwell, “1984”
White Supremacists view Lee as a traitor, they would like nothing more
The restraining order has been dissolved. Removal of statue is underway.
