We're the Only Ones Refusing Enough

 Blackwell, according to the lawsuit, refused the order after he determined the removal of the monuments was illegal at a time the order was given. Blackwell, according to the lawsuit, referenced Virginia Code 15.2-1812, which made "it unlawful for the authorities of [a] locality, or any other person or persons, to disturb or interfere with any monuments or memorials for any war or conflict."

Were there any other orders he would tell his officer not to obey because they were unlawful?

  1. "Even if the mayor had no authority, big if, to remove the monuments, he wasn't asking the Richmond Police Department to do it. Contracts were going to. He was simply asking the police to be there for crowd control to maintain public safety and that's their job!" Steve Benjamin, a legal expert, said."

    So, Steve, your opinion is that he should have shown up with his men, where he would then have had to arrest all the contractors?
    You idiot.
