The Calcasieu Parish Police Jury voted 10-4 Aug. 13 to let the South's Defenders Monument remain on the grounds of a courthouse in Lake Charles. A Calcasieu Parish official said they had received 945 written responses from the public during this period. "Of the total responses, 878 were against relocating the monument and 67 were for relocating the monument," Calcasieu Parish Administrator Bryan Beam said. Twitter posts Thursday morning showed images of the monument with the general in pieces on the ground. Dedicated in 1915, the monument honors Confederate soldiers from the area and other towns across the South. Parish officials had been taking public comments since late June about what to do with the statue amid calls around the country to remove Confederate monuments many see as symbols of racism. --- https://imgur.com/BBcZDLJ <cite>Tmaster148 posted [p:943889178] in Hurricane ...

Purple_Cheetah 08/27/20 1:36:36 PM #9:	They better have crews out there to restore it before power and water gets sorted. It'll be a sign to unite the peoples and give them hope. But in all honesty, hopefully part of it didn't become a projectile or something. <cite>Purple_Cheetah posted [p:943889470] in Hurricane ...

philsov 08/27/20 2:07:53 PM #10:	So now, do we spend local/state funds towards rebuilding it? If a private donor wished to recommission it, is that permissible?
