Yeah, just jam another strap on that hook there. I'm sure it'll hold.

His ego is so bad right now that I think he could be watching. He has sent multiple tweets out about this crap today. It's like it's all he can think about.

They did a temporary removal of the Lee statue in 1953.

Yup, that's how it's done. Let one strap take all of the weight and the other ones dangle

At least two knots in the slings.

It's like a bunch of teenagers trying to troubleshoot this thing.

I bet the crews that take him down again won't do nearly as good a job as those dudes.

I found a New Orleans Daily Democrat article from 1878 that said Lee would be 15 feet tall.

Edited for newspaper name.

Problem is now since they laid strap on the hook mid-strap when the weight hits it the slack couldn't move at all.

So, he fought in the war, and after the war adopted the values of the USA.....and he's coming down because he fought in the confederacy? WTF. I hadn't done much research about him until now and finding this just pisses me off.
And the Founding Fathers are next. shite, they already did it when they renamed a NO school that was named after Washington.

We're one leftist president away from it.

just love the fact that in a city that is majority black and liberal, Mitch is still too cowardly and chickenshit to actually face the voters and actually talk to people about his statue bullshite. The man is a pathetic opportunist chickenshit with no balls whatsoever.

Why not a vote?? It certainly would have passed. But no. He wouldn't risk his political opportunity even for that sure thing. He's a piece of shite.

So how much longer are they going to work at this before they give up and go back to the drawing board? 8am? 10am?

One of the guys had to run to his truck to look for a tow strap. They got this.

I'm no fricking genius but I'm in awe of what we are all witnessing. Day crew has no idea what they are missing.

I'm sure, if our tax dollars aren't paying for this, it will be covering their vacation day tomorrow.
