Charlottesville’s Robert E. Lee statue will be melted down by city’s African American history museum. [More]
Is the stature "provoking" violence anything like a woman not in a burqa "provoking" rape?
And why should extortionists win?

When I read about this atrocity, I thought about Robert Patrick in Judgement Day.
This becomes Lee's Judgement Day.
Doing this to a man of high integrity and Honor is this is evil.
"The city had for months been searching for a new owner for the 1,100-pound monument... six proposals on what to do with it were submitted by arts groups, historical societies or individuals, some offering to pay the city as much as $50,000 for the bronze sculpture. But the Charlottesville City Council voted 4 to 0 to hand it over to the only local bidder: the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center, a Black-led museum [to melt it down]."
Six groups, offering to pay the city up to $50K to remove the statue. Instead, the city paid cultural vampires $980K (a suspiciously-structured sub-$1M figure) to remove and destroy it.
No, nothing political or corrupt about any of this. Just good stewardship of yur tax money.
