the City does not possess clear title to the monuments or the ground underneath, so it is a violation of State property law to remove them
Yeah not sure about this.

and it is also a violation of the state and federal constitutions to commit a "takings" of this property without due process, which due process was clearly lacking in the show-trial City Council hearings conducted while the City had already started the removal process under the direction of a shadowy donor whom the City refuses to identify.
Ok, this is 1000% wrong, no way the City's action is a taking and the due process argument is silly. Not saying there are no valid arguments for overturning the Council, but its not takings and due process.

Also, if the monuments come down, they will be the first domino to fall in this process. Next up will be monuments in cities like Richmond, Birmingham, Memphis, etc. This attempted white-washing of American history will only spread
A little dramatic, New Orleans isn't the first and won't be the last.

I didn't even want to touch that post. It might be one of the dumbest things I've read on here in a while.
