Maybe they can move this statue over a couple blocks to replace the recently removed statues.

I think it should look like hundreds of Antifa punks in orange jump-suits rebuilding at gunpoint every single last one of the original monuments, bigger and shinier.

That would look really nice.

Yeah, right. Like any input from the right will be allowed.

The state of Virginia is too close to that sinkhole named Washington, D.C.

One point of agreement was that it must be a communitywide conversation.

Like that is going to happen, or perhaps all of the white conservatives and traditionalists have already left town.

Put the statues back up. Get rid of the ISIS Stalinist Satanists in Richmond. Start with that racist pig dictator Wreck-It Ralph.
