The crowd just turned on all of the press there. Another news crew got rolled hard. All of their equipment stolen.

The crew that the link in the original topic we covering ran out of there when they started to turn. They ran all the way to an empty lot. Huffing and puffing, holy shit, did you hear them? They said grab the news cameras.

Now they seem to be off the air.

Oh well that's cool.
I actually got the info from a Friend who lives down there.
He/we are from NYS. He is fiercely not racist...so he's basically living in the mouth of madness.

the mayor has committed to tearing it down

What are the odds that the mayor is unsuccessful, the protests die down, and the statue stays up for a couple more years?

Considering the state Supreme Court nearly shit itself just because they covered the base of it... pretty high

I guess well have to wait and see. It wouldnt surprise me if they just went ahead and did it. Any lawsuits or other bullshit after the fact will certainly be less expensive than if the rioters decide to have a round two.
Hopefully there wont be a bunch of people showing up to protect it or something. That could get ugly. But most people in the city dont like it anyway.

Surprised he caved in. Must realize that costs that would happen if they were blocked rather than let it go in I guess.
His office might have ended up targetted as well. And since they had already tried to get it removed in the past, it makes sense for them to try again now that people are trying to destroy it.

Ahh ;)
We'll see how long it takes to remove it. But seeing how they gave him a deadline of tomorrow, and the article mentions donating it to a museum, if he wants something to donate he'll have to act fast.

I genuinely hope this suffices. This was not the citys fault. Theyve been trying to get rid of this thing for years and the mayor of Bham is genuinely a good dude

Traitors don't get memorialized, they get hung.

Tear it down, melt it, build a statue of Sherman.

Its getting torn down this very moment, but one of the guys who kickstarted this, Jermaine Funny Maine Johnson, local comedian, was put on notice by the mayor he could potentially face charges for inciting a riot during comments on the protests

It's 2020 and we still have statues and monuments glorifying Confederate soldiers and racist police chiefs littered across the land.

Tear all that shit down, pronto.
