Do I believe that people that are not residents of New Orleans are the loudest people crying foul on this whole statue ordeal? Yea I believe it and those who aren't from New Orleans never once came here solely to look at those statues, but now their feelings are hurt.
I can't speak for anyone else, but I have deep ties to New Orleans, and so does my family, going back to the early 1700's from France. To ignorantly claim that anyone complaining about the statues coming down doesn't live there or doesn't have any ties there is incredibly insulting.
Further, to act like this is a manufactured controversy on their part completely ignores the fact that they magically became controversial after 100+ years of sitting silently.
The only person that manufactured this controversy is Mitch Landrieu, to drum up political support for the fickle minority community, who can't seem to think for themselves.
From speaking with you, it seems like he was successful.

the liberty monument does not qualify as "sitting silently for 100 years"
I agree with the rest of your post though

Let me get this straight you support a group who fought for states rights, but have a problem with a city exercising its right to remove statues that the residents want removed?

Mitch is pandering to his friends who put the bug in his ear about the monuments.
