seditionist scum the confederacy

3. They should have just done it in the middle of the night instead of making a huge spectacle

Of it and allowing crowds to gather. Do people worship this statue or something? Seems like way more importance is placed on this statue than necessary.

4. Disagree. This was a reward to activists who had fought to get it removed for years.

5. Again it is having the opposite effect. Most people in the normal world do not care. Having

all this attention on it is giving it more importance than should be. There was some place in Tennessee last year that got rid of its confederate memorials at night. Now no one knows or cares.

6. "Normal world"?

Now no one knows or cares.

I can assure you, people care whether confederate memorials are in the public square or in museums.
