        Really? The statues symbolize white supremacy and slavery. God forbid we don't think they deserve merit.

        Two major times civil war statues were erected were during Jim Crow laws & during the civil rights movement. They are there to be oppressive

        this is the way to handle these confederate statues: just rip them down no meetings, no waiting on city hall just go tear them down

        Seems perfectly fine to me as they were doing a public service to their community and country. Sometimes doing wrong is the right thing.

        This is a bad idea. This incites racist to try to target statues they don't like. This incites a bad idea. These protesters are stupid.

        Yes and one of theirs is in prison and rightfully so, but this was an illegal action.

        So was every slave escape. So was Rosa Parks refusing to give up her seat.

        Those situations were different. Human lives were at stake. A statue does no such thing.

        Charlottesville started as a "protest" against tearing down Confederate statues. They're willing to kill for it, but we won't stop.

        This is a bad idea, you incited racist to target statues they don't like. You put the national mall at risk.
