Thatā€™s a stupid, pandering, and irrelevant photo-op/hill to pick to die on. History will not be kind. BTW: THIS is what a book-burning looks like:

Interestingly, in the South before the Civil War, pro-abolition publications were banned and would have been burned if found and their owners thrown into jail. So, there is that.

ā€œThe Court finds that the plaintiffs will suffer immediate and irreparable harmā€

WTF? No they wonā€™t. They have no right to the monument remaining on public land after due process of the City council and mayor has resulted in a decision to take down the statue. What in fuckā€™s name did she come up with as their ā€œirreparable harmā€ that theyā€™d be suffering and how the fuck is it something they have a personal right to such that they have standing to even sue in the first place??? This is fucking absurdā€¦and is precisely what happens when you have ELECTED judges.

Guess they were all upset when US forces tore down the statue of Saddam. Iraqui heritage as much as decades later erected statues celebrating American seditionistsā€¦

Thatā€™s what the Taliban does, thatā€™s what ISIS does. We donā€™t do that in America.

Well, we tore down the statue of Saddam Hussein in Baghdad. I wonder if he thinks the Germans who removed the Nazi monuments were pandering?

Ninjaā€™d!

Monuments are for winners. Losers take their participation medals and go home.

We Louisvillians are about to have so much fun with this. We will meme, shame, harass, and clown these fucksticks into total humiliation. Jennifer Lawrence and Master P will weigh in, Sue Grafton will write D is for Dumb Mother Fucker. Iā€™m actually looking forward to this fight. Oh, and I canā€™t think of a better place to put Hunter S. Thompsonā€™s statue.

Good news.

Why yesā€¦because only in the good olā€™ US of A do we allow monuments to our vanquished enemies. Uh huh.

More akin to keeping the flag of the defeated enemy in plain view.

Do First Nations have flags? Because that should be flying above all the others if he wants to to play that game.
