They had a big crane putting it onto a flatbed and hauling away, but I can’t find any story about it anywhere explaining why.

Who was this thing pissing off?

We're in the midst of the worst leadership our country has ever witnessed.

Bro, we just want to take down Confederate statues. Stop acting like this is going to lead to anything else being taken down.

I lose track, but isn't that cannon from the Battle of New Orleans against the British?

For years it's been a Washington Artillery monument, but they removed the cannon and it's going to be a monument to Oscar Dunn, Louisiana's black lieutenant governor, who was on office during Reconstruction.

It's a monument to US history. Of course it was removed. All such monuments will be removed until only monuments of The Struggle remain.

Then we can begin the Great Leap Forward in this country.

Last time New Orleans removed all its cannons, a naval force invaded the city and took over.

It would probably be an improvement.

Well since the hair pick didn't solve racism they are going to try a sculpture of a hair weave next.

I'm genuinely curious as to why she would be able to unilaterally make that decision.

Where are the checks and balances? This is bigger than one retard's term as mayor. There need to be protections in place to guard against the amount of damage they're allowed to do.
