I overheard some people talking about it this afternoon as we were leaving the aquarium. Pointing and talking about the one that is by the parking lot next to the tracks.





So what I overheard Saturday was true. They took this one, The Liberty Monument, down this morning.
ETA: What a bunch of spineless pussies. Unless those are city workers, where is the contract and the permit?

Good grief. They are rated one star out of five. How do you even get a one star rating on blackownedbiz.com?!

Time to go leave a negative review under their profile on blackownezbizdotcom.

I have no connection to Louisiana, but I feel like this removal can have a far reaching effect throughout the south.

It isn't necessarily the act of monument removal that bothers me. What bothers me is that they're being removed essentially in secret with absolutely no unity/consensus from the city's residents. That is just dangerous.

The city has said the 600k was privately funded but won't say through who, I think it's correct to assume it's Cuzan considering its the exact number they bid

It is just so damn shameful. And these idiots taking them down are so damn ignorant they think they are scoring some kind of win. It's pathetic and sad as hell.

It won't matter. It's almost a guarantee they get all their business from gov't contracts.

Listening to Tommy Tucker on WWL...he's taken a hard line against pro-statue people calling them "terrorists" because the removers felt compelled to wear bullet-proof vests due to "threats" against them.

Hopefully this helps the city forget about the past. With no contract, no bids, and no statue remaining, it's almost like they want us to believe the obelisk never existed, and that the Battle for Liberty Place never happened.

It's bad enough most people have no idea what it was about, even though 8000+ people took part in it and 30+ people died on both sides.

Removing the memories of the dead should be absolutely taboo regardless of what side you're on.
