If this goes far enough I'll be living in a city with a new name.

New Orleans will have 70% of its charm and history stripped by 2020.

I am going to look back when I said they would try to tear down the Jackson Square statue and some libs laughed and others said yeah right, I will fight. Maybe the time has come? I will look back into my post history and try to find it.

Nothing would surprise me at this point. We've reached a point that only bloodshed can stop it from growing bigger.

Shouldn't the British or maybe the Indians be in charge of this?

When do all the confederate forts come down.

When do the Indians demand all buildings and roads be torn down and everyone black, white, Chinese etc must leave and return the land to the Indians as it once was when the foreigners arrived?

Pretty sure that statue represents Andrew Jackson's leadership in the Battle of New Orleans.

I cannot wait until one of these groups tears down a statue only to find out it is a Nobel Prize Winner and they did not bother to read the inscription...

The Andrew Jackson statue isn't some little statue like the one in Durham that the protesters were able to tear down.

They won't be able to tear it down. It weighs more than 30,000 pounds.

You would be surprised what you can accomplish with some really big come-alongs, heavy duty chokers, and a good anchor point.

There's not a single statue in New Orleans that has much to do with the city's charm. You could take down every last statue in the city without lessening charm by even 5%

If NO is losing charm, it's because of AirBnB....

With the proper pre-planning, that statue could be down in about 90 minutes. Plan the work, work the plan. Just try telling a bunch of brain dead ironworkers they can't do something.

False.

Some people go for the historical locations.
