A project in Charlottesville, Va. seeks to upend the narrative around the statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee that was the center of deadly white nationalist protests there in 2017.
The historical statue of General Robert E. Lee was melted down in a furnace by the Black History Museum in Charlottesville
The melted mush will be used as a new piece of public art.

So the “they belong in museums, not the public square” type arguments are out the window now I see.

Its not done out of altruism, its done to make the activists leave them the frick alone.
The mob usually wins.

I wish I was a billionaire, I’d buy some land in Charlottesville and put up a replica REL statue, then hire Blackwater to guard it 24/7.

What an inclusive, bridge-building, gesture.

The smoking melted mush looks a lot cooler than whatever comes next.

Looks like a terminator melting, reckon they could use it to make one of those in Roberts place.
