War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength.

I feel so bad for those poor Charlottesville's pigeons. They will no longer have a place to poop on.

this is why we don't have Benedict Arnold statues in public (only in busts in place, if i'm correct) or Statues of Hitler in Germany.

White Supremacy was the DEMOCRATIC PARTY of the SOUTH. Not it’s MILITARY LEADERS…Why dont you Libs rename and tear down every Robert C. Byrd (Sen. WVa.) building & statue. He was a KKK GrandMaster and was friends with every Dem politician in today’s Dem Party Hierarchy!

I’m offended by the statues of George Floyd on behalf of the pregnant woman he robbed at gunpoint, threatening her unborn baby…When can we have it removed?🤔

Good. He lost anyway. We don’t want statues of people who couldn’t even win a traitorous war.

“The removals were set in motion by a 2016 petition started by a local high school student.” Congratulations, and thank you, ZyahnaB.

Took them long enough

Maybe one day we will judge men based on the standards of the times they lived. Until then, we will continue the endless cycle of retribution and history revisionism, of imposing ideas b/c we fail to convince.

syrotter Lee was my 4x great uncle and I'm thrilled they are taking it down. Melt it. Monuments do not need to be made for traitors. As long as they are in the history book, it's enough.

It took them four years after Charlottesville to remove the statue?

The statue sparked the rally?!
