re: PGT Beauregard monument is being removed tonight

Please disregard the humongous knot in the main strap

The best part is that Mitch is probably at home with more security than what Trump has watching this shite like the rest of us on his computer.

Good.

I hope the prick is stamping his feet and throwing a tantrum like a 4 year old.

I 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.

I could have ordered them a latching hook and d-shackle on Amazon prime and had it delivered by now. Let's see if they learn from the first 350 mistakes.

I think it is. There is a guy sitting on Lee's shoulder, which makes it look like he's raising his arm.

I see it now

He won't have security when he's no longer mayor.

But, the problem with someone mercy killing the little shite is that they'd probably stick him up there where Lee is.

Oh God, they found the picture of that dog harness earlier in the thread and are trying to replicate that.

A change of heart, a forgotten man -- Beauregard fought hard to preserve the Old South, including the institution of slavery. But after the war his reputation as a hero of the Confederacy was forever damaged by his outspoken work for human rights. As part of a coalition of prominent white and black New Orleanians, he not only argued to give black people voting rights but also pushed for integrated schools, public places and transportation.

"I am persuaded that the natural relation between the white and colored people is that of friendship," Beauregard said in an address published in July 1873 in newspapers including The New Orleans Republican and The Daily Picayune. "I am persuaded that their interests are identical; that their destinies in this state, where the two races are equally divided, are linked together; and that there is no prosperity for Louisiana which must not be the result of their cooperation.

"I am equally convinced that the evils anticipated by some men from the practical enforcement of equal rights are mostly imaginary, and that the relation of the races in the exercise of these rights will speedily adjust themselves to the satisfaction of all."

The movement generated little public support and quickly collapsed.

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.

Mitch is a fricking idiot.
