Who can argue with such eloquent speech?

I suppose this will fix S-Port's recent violent crime spike?

How old is that monument? It's beautiful.

Well he sounds like a fricking moron.

That's the plan. 
This was discussed a few years ago, and I thought it came down to the fact that the little parcel it sits on is owned by the daughters of the confederacy, and it's not public property. They said it stays.

Put it on Cooper Rd next to the MLK statue.

I'm sure Bossier will take it off their hands. No charge.

Bossier already has one, and it's very nice

So are they trying to ban certain things within x amount of feet of a govt building or something?

still true. Epperson is just spitting in the wind. The committee did not vote to send this to full Commission, which is what Epperson wanted. So now this BS committee he hopes to pack

Bossier also has an entire neighborhood with streets named after Confederate Generals. And it's not just a few streets either. And there are some black middle-class families that live on them.
They are either ignorant of history or they simply don't give a shite. I prefer to think of it as the latter because I have not heard of one black person petition the city council about it.Posted on 6/10/16 at 11:44 am to Corch Urban Myers

I don't think it really matters, unless an admin told you to.

Yes. It tends to get old, but you also have north of the lake/south of the lake, north of I-10/ south of I-10, north of intracoastal/ south of intracoastal, north la/ south la, etc, etc...

Not a good idea on my part. Things tend to spread from here...
