How about a group of aborted fetus with a plaque that reads: "We love you even though we never met you" ~Baby Landrieus

Just in case anyone was wondering what all of this was about... The bricks are there because they removed the name of the memorial with the metal statue.

This was always about making sure history is forgotten.

Like every other aspect of this local government and its supporters, it isn't their problem.

They took care of some random meaningless thing and then on to the next cause. Nothing has changed, no real issues were addressed, nothing is fixed, and everything is someone else's fault.

A homicide scene. That is what the city does best.

How about a Borg Cube and an inscription at the front where Gen. Beauregard's name had been,
something like...
The forces of PC are insane, relentless and legion. I'm sick of it all.

The current state of what remains of the statue is such a perfect microcosm of what a fricking train wreck this city is.

Let's waste a ton of money, time, and resources taking down a beautiful (it was a very attractive piece of art regardless of subject matter) 100 year old statue in a very prominent place, and in its place leave a destroyed hunk of granite and bricks.

Good plan Mitch, good plan.

Perhaps a rich OT baller will donate a replica of this guy and tell everyone it's a tribute to "an old friend".



They will never know the difference.

I mean, we have blocks of condemned projects and empty slabs right next to down town. They've been there since Katrina...almost 12 fricking years, and that's right next to downtown.

They idiots praising these ridiculous shenanigans are too fricking stupid to realize that Mitch's pandering plan has worked to a T.
