Surprised they didn't deface them and leave them in place.

The Museum of the Confederacy is literally about 400 ft from Lee Circle on Camp Street.

When this first came up, one of Landrieu's supporters was supposed to take ownership of the monuments & put them in a new museum that he would set up, along with other historical items. He would then charge admission. Point being, one of Landrieu's money men would end up making a profit of the monuments. Not sure where that stands now, but Landrieu is making zero comments as to where they will end up. Which is odd, as once they are down, they need to go somewhere, right?

They should sell them to people and allow them to display them on private property

I am not defending

Plus I live in New Jersey

Something tells me a 17ft Robert E Lee in my side yard would cause butt hurt.


Would the OT support a go fund me to make this happen?
