It's quite apparent now that there are two populations in NOLA and this board in particular.
1) The Delusional's: This small group of people / population that believe that New Orleans is some bastion of liberal prosperity and that by removing anything of real meaning will attract people to come back to the city and settle down. They don't mind circumventing rules or making decisions on behalf of the majority, even it's widely considered a terrible one. They also don't mind spending your money on frivolous things all while ignoring major issues because NIMBY right? They also don't understand what an ISD and why their schools consistently suck nationally. the top 1% of this bunch usually wind up Mayor or part of City Councils. You can typically find these individuals at Starbucks or Wal-Mart on the first of the month.
2) The Everyone Else Club: These folks realize that NOLA and area like NOLA are a lost cause and have either moved further out or even away from the state. These folks typically make the National Median Average in income if not more. They also have the largest swath of skill sets. Texas/TN/Georgia greatly appreciate these folks. Typically these folks hold some form of trade or college degree. This group also includes folks in SELA who seem to now be the minority and plan to move North or West.
Oh and CapperVin

Clearly this was before you read it by your spelling skills.

Pretty much nails it. Although the other side would change the names it would still be the reality.
We'll take stock in 4 years and see what the result is. It's their social experiment now, and they're gonna pay for it, not me anymore. I never called my representatives for anything against NOLA but now I am. And where I am if you support NOLA you'll be thrown out of office. A lot of voters are suddenly very motivated. They can't control Orleans Parish business, but the state Legislature can turn the screws. And NOLA will have no friends in Washington either for the next several years. The O gravy train has left the station.
The stuff on this board is worth 2 cents, but the reality is what it is.

still melting and melting hard. It feels awesome walking through the Quarter on such a beautiful day while drinking a bloody mary. I guess everyone decided to start their boycott tomorrow because it's packed out here. Locals, tourists, convention goers, and all people of every ethnicity are out enjoying what this great city has to offer. I hope you enjoy your day melting in your moms basement!

For the Delusionals, add leftist to your adjectives. Also, I think they want to drive out certain people from the city

I compare it to the NFL and the pussification of football. Everyone here loves football, but we don't care enough/ don't know how to stop the SJW's from making so many complaints that the things change. But, it is most probably that people can't stop to take time out of their daily lives to protest something that does not affect their immediate family. (Not that they don't care for the cause.)

3) the I don't give a shite -
These people could care less about the statues. Most didn't even realize there were so many until the last few weeks. Removing them will not change their opinion about nola in any way. They will still come for Mardi Gras and other events and spend money in the city. Most live out of the area and wonder why those dipshits elected Mitch so many times in the first place

Lol. These melts are as good as the ones from November 8 2016.

They will care when Mitch overreaches again going after Andrew Jackson.

sure everyone had to work. But weren't their protests on weekdays, weeknights, and on the weekend? You mean to tell me since this issue is so important to everyone they couldn't get more than 25 people out there to voice their opinion?

Most of the middle class heterosexual, everyday people, didn't much even know these structures were there. Didn't really care. Still don't. But it's us who are being called out like we were out there worshipping the damn things, just like we are accused of being the white racist in daily life. It's not ever going to end.
