        The monuments should not be removed, as it risks erasing our mistakes. You can't revise history because it offends some people in 2017.

        All of these statues of traitors and terrorists should be taken down and destroyed. No sane country celebrates insurrection against itself.

        Like the counter-protestors, the Taliban also wear shoes. Coincidence? I think not. Moron.

        Don't announce it. Just get the machinery there, say, Thursday. And get them down. Don't give them a "date". or a Date. Just do it.

        I hope they take those statues down soon, it's honestly shameful that we let monuments of hate be honored in our country for so long

        Sad part is leaving these statues in there place can be used for white nationalist and nazi groups in their recruitment plans
