Most of these statues have been up for decades, but now everyone has a problem with them? Where were they years ago when they were erected?
Personally, IMHO the people looking to tear down the statues are left wing anarchists and Marxists that want to destroy the very fabric of this nation. The statues represent our history both good and bad. They are there to incite conversation, understanding and learning. This nation is far from perfect but has come a long way. If we forget or try to erase that history, we are doomed to repeat it.
Personally, I hope that the local politicians start enforcing the laws against these brain dead morons looking to destroy public property. They all need to be brought up on charges and tried in a court of law. If found guilty, throw the book at them.
