Meg Thompson 5 years ago These statutes have not inflicted bodily harm nor shot anyone in any way in any location where they have stood through decades, unlike the rioters and demonstrators who have no knowledge of the history they represent. These anarchists just want to destroy anything and everything in their path when left unchallenged by local authority! Many family members and others in the community worked for years to pay for the statues to honor their ancestors– they sold personal items, held bake sales, handmade and sold linens and quilts among other tedious and very time consuming projects. Destroying these statues will change nothing in our nation’s history! We should leave the statues in place, add a descriptive plaque perhaps, that will educate future generations and emphasize the sacrifice for those who gave their lives for a cause in which they believed. Is that not what these anarchists claim they are doing?
