No doubt they will; children often misbehave when faced with their own inadequacies.
It's always great for a laugh when some self righteous yankee attempts to make comments about the south, of which they have absolutley no knowledge.
In Richmond we have a statue of Arthur Ashe, which has never been vandalized to knowledge, even though it was erected after much controversy right at the start of a long line older early 20th century erected Confederate Generals, an Admiral, and Jefferson Davis.http://www.ci.richmond.va.us/visitor/monuments_memorials.aspThe powers that be insisted it be located there at a transparent attempt of race baiting, even though it is totally out of context in both subject matter, time, and surrounding architecture. The statue is such an artistic abomination and blatant effort to generate controversy, that Arthur Ashe's family refused to attend it's unveiling. There was a very appropiate and prominate location right in front of the tennis courts that was whites only when he was a kid, but wouldn't have stirred up any trouble and therefore useless to the City's rulers. (It woudn't have helped it's artistic merit though since it looks like he's trying to beat some kids in the head with his tennis racket).http://www.ci.richmond.va.us/visitor/arthurashe.asp.
The only vandalizm of anyone civil war related was a year or two ago they torched a large cloth mural with the image of Robert E. Lee on it which was hung on the flood wall for the opening of the new canal walk. They tried one with the General in civilian clothes, but that was torched too.
Contrary to popular belief, there are only around 50 or so rebels left in the city which are kept confined in a confederate ghetto called Oregon Hill, and no known Republicans. If Abe is erected, he will be the first Republican back since 1972 when the Reconstruction Judge Merhige legislated mandatory school busing in order to bring the only two halfway decent public high schools down to the substandard level of the other five or six, and the last of them left.
If anyone were found vandalizing a monument of good 'ol Abe, I'm sure he would find himself locked up in the custody of Sheriff Michelle Mitchell, a perfect example of the City's reconstructed leadership, who would promptly steal any cash which they may have when locked up and embezzele the three dollars a minute collect call for help out money generated.http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/810319/posts
Vandalizing a statue of Abe Lincoln inside the city limits of Richmond, Virginia, the Capital City of the ONLY STATE IN THE UNION TO EVER ELECT A BLACK GOVENOR, would be good for only an attempt at a sucessful suicide.
