They belong in museums to represent a dark period in history; not in public and celebrated.

The cops just up and left like an hour ago. The mayor was out there trying to convince them to go.

They do not have the appropriate hardware and that is a lot of stone. This could turn out really bad.

It's a pretty big statue, or monolith or whatever it is.

At least this is some destruction everyone can get behind. I wouldn't do it though, just because with tools you know someone is going to get seriously hurt trying to do this.

They can be represented as dust in a museum once people are done blowing it up.

It seems like they are trying to rock hammer it down or some shit.
As someone who has done that type of thing, with rocks...I can tell you, this could take a while.

The IRA was much more effective with this shit.
I am just stating a historical, this is not an advocation.

This was in NYC, they melted the metal into bullets for the Revolution.
It was a statue of King George.

That's pretty cool, but did no one think of petitioning to take it down earlier? Or you know, bring a sledge hammer?

Theyve tried. The citys actually been sued over just covering the damn thing

http://abc3340.com/news/local/state-supreme-court-reverses-lower-court-ruling-on-confederate-statue-in-linn-park

that thing has been the center of controversy for a while now

Sign a petition to take down a racist fucking obelisk? How disrespectful is that shit. There should be no room for any dialogue. These people did the right thing.

I'm impressed. It was clear they were hell bent on taking it down, and they probably would have hurt someone doing so. Nice to see a compromise reached.
