I haven't put any thought to this premise; it's irrelevant. Regarding faux outrage, it is yours.
Thank you for admitting I was right and not a single person took issue with these statues before that event.

I don't care about the statues. I've lived in New Orleans for a decade and have NEVER taken a trip downtown to go admire the statues.
What I do passionately care about is a city that is so frickin broke that their solution to fixing potholes (potholes that can almost swallow cars) is to put a cone in the middle of it and leave it like that for years. When the cone gets smashed they drive out and instead of fixing the problem they put a new cone. Water will seep through the road for months and months before they will come out and "repair" the leaking drain lines. Our infrastructure needs every bit of money we can throw at it. To remove, transport, store, and reconstruct is going to cost $1MM+ dollars. Plus how about all the time that our politicians are spending on this (last time I checked we pay them a shite ton too). This money isn't coming from a donor I can promise you that.
If you don't have an issue with this city pissing money away on things that will have zero positive or negative effects on the city then I assume you don't live here. If you don't live here then your opinion is meaningless.
