    Want to be clear: I didn't criticize Charlottesville for moving the Lee statue. My criticism is for NC vigilantes taking law into own hands.

        Fair. In case you weren't aware we have an unjust law currently preventing cities from removing them. Not to endorse, just to add context.

        Actually, has everything to do with that. #AltRight apologists have eroded the trust that these issues will actually be dealt with legally.

        Oh & forgot to mention that our racially gerrymandered NCGA passed a law where cities can't touch monuments- basically suck it up black folk

        NC loves government overreach as long as it benefits the NC GOP. This is why I am denouncing Republican party I have been w/ over 20+ years

        You need to look up "vigilantes" on the Google. These ppl weren't acting as law enforcement. Vandals, at best, is the word you want.

        Yes. Law abiding. Pressure the government to remove. Peacefully demonstrate, attend meetings and ask for removal VOTE don't just act.
