NEW ORLEANS – After months of delays, one local group of activists is threatening to pull down the statue of Andrew Jackson in the French Quarter. Them ‘Em Down NOLA said unreasonable delays in removing four Confederate monuments is leading them to take matters into their own hands.
"We're going to go to Jackson Square. We're going to put ropes around Andrew Jackson and we're going to take him down off his pedestal," Take 'Em Down organizer and longtime civil rights activist Malcolm Suber said during a public forum the group held Thursday night, reported The New Orleans Advocate.
The protest, set for Sept. 24, comes a few days before the U.S. 5th circuit Court of Appeals is scheduled to hear arguments over whether to lift an order that halted the removal four other statues. The City Council voted for the removal of four monuments last year, including the statues of Gen. Robert E. Lee, Confederate President Jefferson Davis, Confederate Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard and a monument to a militia known as the White League.

Hell yeah, we've been flirting with this race war for too long. Enough fore-play, I want some goddamn penetration. Let's do this!!!

And they should promptly be arrested

This would be awesome! I hope they stream it live.
It took and M88 to rip down that Saddam statue. I'm pretty sure they're going to need more than will power to get Andy Jackson down.

Sounds like a bunch of losers that are likely unemployed and living on welfare and drug deals.
Upstanding citizens.

I saw that article and was going to post it but got too pissed after reading it. OP didn't quote a lot of the inflammatory rhetoric from these A holes and it is worth it to click the link. Some real insight into the mindset of these people.*
*And by "people" I mean the entitled mindset "protestors" and I don't care what color, sexual orientation, etc they self-identify as. frick them.

NOLA has the opportunity for the ultimate troll job here. As soon as these monuments come down, replace them with Trump statues. The outrage would be hilarious.

gonna be funny

People that are "upset" by inanimate objects just blows my mind.

Why do they want to take down Andrew Jackson? He was the defender of New Orleans in the war of 1812. They seem to be the type to scream because they have nothing else going on.
