The city warehoused it until Duke won his suit. Now it's on "display" between the Aquarium and the flood wall, I believe. Not exactly a high traffic area.


Which is exactly what's going to happen to Lee if they pull it down. Out of sight, out of mind.

Remember the last scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark?

It's gonna be hilarious when they come after Jackson. Lee isn't a city icon, Jackson Square is. It's a huge tourism site. I can't wait to grab my popkern and watch the show when it happens.

No one will bid on the job

Mitch leaves office later this year

New Mayor will run on keeping the statues in place

Statues aren't going anywhere

Going after Jackson would push Mitch into a corner. What's he going to say? That Jackson's military victory outweighs his sins? The SJWs won't make that distinction.

It already has happened. About six months ago, the geniuses who organized Take Em Down NOLA announced that they'd be pulling Old Hickory off of his horse with ropes on whatever date. The cops locked the gates to Jackson Square. It was pretty comical.

That's my running joke about Stonewall. That's the dumb asses that think he's Stonewall.

They need to sell the Jeff Davis statue to Beauvoir.

Taking Lee down is dumb. You can't even see him up close and you don't know who it is unless someone tells you.

What is the logic of wanting Andrew Jacksons statue removed?

He wasn't part of the Confederacy.

When they interviewed the idiots protesting, they thought it was Stonewall. I shite you not.

And on the pedestal, in numbers about a foot high, is engraved the year of his death, 1845. Do you think any of the protesters interviewed were astute enough to figure out the man had been dead for almost 16 years before the war started? Nope.

They likely don't know the Civil War dates, so I doubt they even bothered to look into it. When I heard one of the interviews, I lost it laughing. "We gone take down Stonewall!"

I figured it was probably something ignorant like that.

I wish I could find some of the videos. It was comical, sad, and pathetic.

I hope you find him. Be sure to ask the gutter punks where he is.

Supposedly, it's because he was a slave owner

Real reason is they feel emboldened. Thanks again, Obama.

Why don't they auction them off to people who would actually like to own them and would appreciate the history behind it, and then use the money to pay for road improvements?

St Louis was a crusader. Cathedral should be converted to a mosque and renamed.
