[NEWS] Confederate monuments are being torn down in the South

[LeisureSuit912]

No one is questioning the heavy police presence being used to remove these statues?

With snipers on rooftops?

Probably because of the death threats the workers taking down the statue received

Purpose being "let's remind people never to do the Holocaust again" vs. "we need to respect our heritage, it's about our Southern pride" I don't buy the comparison

What if i told you. It's posssible to understand the historical significance of the civil war and not take pride in it.

[Corderlain]

Revisionist history in full play. Hiding from history doomed us to repeat it. Also Democrats were the main players for the Confederates.

people threatened to attack the workers

People threatening to attack pro-Annoying Orange supporters at rallies, where is their protection?

That's not the reason they've kept them up for so long

is that why you created an imaginary family to not repeat being alone again?

all over the place. Those Annoying Orange rallies had police officers all over the place

Why yes I'd be happy to report you. Next time you'd like to refute an argument try attacking the argument not the speaker.

I mean while they still committed atrocities, people still died, and defacing/removing a memorial is still a stuffty thing to do.

For someone who has allegedly been on the forum so long, you know little.  This is not a reportable offense, and especially when you volunteer information that will result in ridicule against you, you should expect being hazed, even perpetually in the case that you really forget up.

TL;DR toughen up, snowflake.

Like the political parties haven't changed over 150 years, idiot

I don't know, I think that it was a great thing to happen. after all...

Agreed. The amount of effort that went into this is ludicrous.

Berkely police officers were told to stand down during that Milo event.

[Gytyyhgfffff]

i think that having public monuments dedicated to a rebellious government that wanted slavery and was against the united states is a little backwards. it's comparable to having public monuments for the axis powers or ussr. stuff like this should be put in museums however so that the history is preserved because keeping track of our history is important so we learn from humanity's previous failings

Notice how the police at this statue removal are also being told to stand down
