Virginia’s Robert E. Lee Statue Coming Down

[Brian4Liberty]

So they are going to take a statue that one group finds offensive and turn it into a statue that another group finds offensive. That's some progress there.

Yep, it’s is progress, for one side. That would make the score 2-0.

I'm not "piling on" brother, you know that...

Yeah, I get it, we're good. I just try to look at all angles when evaluating the news. You and @phill4paul are probably right.

I'm not "piling on" brother, you know that, but I did take the time to go and look who was sitting on the C-ville town council.

Every single one is a leftist democrat, one of which, Payne, is an outright communist.

Every single one, excepting Walker, are transplants from away.

Every single one, also excepting Walker, are white, who are the very worst self loathing and doctrinaire of "anti racists".

It was an ideological decision, without a doubt.

You can almost identify their politics by their looks. Magill looks like a fat feminist. Payne is a faggy commie. Walker--well, she's black, so go with the percentages. Hill looks like a librarian. Snook looks like a milquetoast.

Local officials are usually very accessible. I think a lot of that is because they're bored with discussing all the boring rezoning at their meetings.

I'm not sure how much it helps to be in touch with them, but it can make a difference. Sometimes it helps just to let them know they have support for the 2A stance or similar issue.

People often focus on national politics, which is more out of their control. They also focus more on personality, which doesn't get anything done.

I suggest that you should at least email your local officials, like county commissioners. It would be better than complaining about it here.

Okay, that's my Mister Smith Goes to Washington post.

This footage represents who and what was honored.

These are the men the Marxist filth erased from history.

And we let them do it, without lifting a finger in opposition.

Their eyes look to mine, and damn me for it.

Time Capsule found beneath Robert E. Lee Statue pedestal.

Time Capsule found beneath Robert E. Lee Statue pedestal.

From a newz article on the subject:

"This monument and its time capsule reflected Virginia in 1890 -- and it’s time to remove both, so that our public spaces better reflect who we are as a people in 2021," Northam said in a September press release. "The past 18 months have seen historic change, from the pandemic to protests for racial justice that led to the removal of these monuments to a lost cause. It is fitting that we replace the old time capsule with a new one that tells that story."

The state has selected 39 individuals to add artifacts to the 2021 time capsule, which are expected to include nods to the 2020 racial justice protests, as well as items, including face masks and vaccination cards, related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

"TO A LOST CAUSE."

Ya see, separation from an overbearing Federal Government is a "Lost Cause." So don't you even try it, bub.

I can't believe there wasn't racist propaganda in that time capsule. I've been told that these statues were erected to keep black people down. That their erection was a "terror" tactic that sprang up all over the South in the same time period with a nefarious purpose. Not because it was in the time frame that the last of the Civil War veterans were passing away and these statues were erected in their honor so they could attend before passing.
We have lived centuries with these dedications. And the victors of the Civil War allowed it. And the truth of the situation is that unless you studied or cared about history it was just a pigeon $#@! covered piece of bronze. The victors of THIS war is not the North. It's the Marxist inculcators.

Meanwhile, what's become of Lee Park where the statue used to stand?

It's become a bum camp and open air drug den.

The past in the United States is a foreign country.

Don't you feel culturally enriched and progressive, comrade?


Former site of Robert E. Lee statue at center of new controversy

Market Street Park now contains a dozen tents where people have been living, and the neighbors don’t like it. They’ve reported disorderly conduct, drug use and fights – including one stabbing in the area. This month local police have enforced a curfew requiring people to leave after 11 pm, and on September 18th some residents showed up at city council to make what Police Chief Michael Kochis called disgusting and disturbing claims.

“One of the allegations that was made during the meeting was that our officers have been 'targeting Black, unhoused individuals with violence.'" he told reporters. "Another allegation was that a Charlottesville police officer assaulted an unhoused individual by 'kicking him like a football.'”

Bodycam video showed patient and professional officers explaining that the park was about to close and giving people time to pack up. One man – who sounded angry – refused to go and was arrested. The local commonwealth’s attorney, Joe Platania, found no evidence of inappropriate police conduct.

"Mr. Platania and his assistant reviewed the footage and immediately determined that the contact with the individual in question was incidental to the lawful discharge of the officer's duties, reasonable under the law, and did not rise to the level of battery."

And Kochis insists race was never a factor in asking campers to leave the park.

“These individuals were white, black and Latino. Officers approached each of them and made them aware of the park being closed and that they would need to be given some time to collect their belongings and leave the park.”

Kochis said officers would be given additional training on how to deal with people living in public places, but he claimed local police were already compassionate and frustrated by the situation.

“The officers spoke of the frustration of having to send people on their way with nowhere to go. Our officers are human beings, just like the folks in that park, and their frustration with the systems and programs that continue to fail these communities was palpable, and I share their frustration.”

He concluded his news conference with a plea of sorts to city council.

“I’m just going to be frank. I’m sorry, but I’ve worked in two other jurisdictions – the city of Alexandria and the town of Warrenton. Both had a 24-hour shelter with wraparound services, and I’ve never been in a jurisdiction that hasn’t had either.”

Charlottesville’s main shelter does not permit overnight stays, and a facility operated by the Salvation Army is often full.

For now, the city’s manager has lifted the curfew so campers can stay.

‘Governor, if I had foreseen the use these people desired to make of their victory, there would have been no surrender at Appomattox, no, sir, not by me. Had I foreseen these results of subjugation, I would have preferred to die at Appomattox with my brave men, my sword in this right hand.’ - Robert E. Lee to Governor Fletcher Stockdale of Texas, 30 August 1870 at White Sulfur Springs TX
