You’ve no doubt seen the recent atrocity involving the destruction of historical statues in Syria and Iraq by agents of ISIS.
Well, the government of New Orleans has hired these same masked agents to come to that city and destroy historic statues there.
It’s unclear why anyone thinks this is okay.
The bronze equestrian statue of Confederate Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard at the entrance to City Park was removed shortly after 3 a.m. Wednesday.
Work began to remove it around 7 p.m. Tuesday, when police officers began moving people away from the monument in preparation for its removal.
According to Deputy Mayor Ryan Berni, the base of the statue will not be removed at this time. It is unclear when, or if, the base will be removed.
According to WWL-TV Reporter Duke Carter, police said Beauregard’s name would be removed from the base, however, the rest of the base would remain.
There were a handful of arrests throughout the night by NOPD. Three people were arrested before the monument was lifted from its base. According to The New Orleans Advocate, NOPD said the charges were likely to be public drunkenness and an arson charge for trying to set a flag on fire. A woman was also arrested shortly after the statue was lifted up when she came ashore from a kayak in Bayou St. John near the monument.
Shortly after 7 p.m. Tuesday evening, massive spotlights, large cranes and a big work crew showed up at the scene to repeat the drill done twice before, preparing a monument for removal.
There were strong views from those watching the removal on both sides of the debate.
“When I was a little girl the statue was something fun that I drove by on my way to school,” said Janet Rupert, a supporter of removing the monuments. “Learning more about the history of what it really represents, more than just it’s a work of art, it’s a statue, the reasons why it was put up in the first place, I think it’s time to take them down.”
The system has officially given up on us.
