It’s been well over 150 years since the the Civil War began, and long after the Confederates surrendered at the Appomattox Courthouse in Virginia, the war is still raging. As the government and various activist groups continue to bury all evidence that the severely misunderstood Confederacy ever existed, some citizens in New Orleans have decided that enough is enough and have taken the matter into their own hands.
The individual who owns the company that was contracted to remove the statues of Robert E. Lee, General P.G.T. Beauregard, the Jefferson Davis Monument and the Battle of Liberty Monument, discovered his $200,000 Lamborghini torched and destroyed.
Just days after accepting the city’s offer, David Mahler, the owner of H&O Investments of Baton Rouge started to receive death threats as did his employees. And it didn’t stop there. Mahler also started to lose contracts from other businesses. Clients called and said that if he took the job, they would cancel their business with him.

We have to remember that slavery was not the main issue of the Civil War..States Rights was the major issue! The South didn’t want the Federal government telling the States what to do. I think we have seen the mess that the Federal government can make in not knowing the local situation!! Lincoln freed the slaves when he did to keep France from coming into the war on the side of the Confederate, because he knew the North would then lose! He also in doing that, didn’t give the slaves time to be able to prepare themselves for freedom and taking care of themselves on their own! Many of them had to go back to the plantations because they couldn’t make it on their own. It wasn’t just about slavery!! It is a part of our history and shouldn’t be “erased”.
Good.
I totally agree

Oops.
And how many of the BLM people have been arrested and prosecuted for blocking a ambulance and ending up a person died because of it?? What about all the riots was anybody prosecuted for them?
1st two wrongs don’t make a right
2nd if you really want to know the answers to those questions look into court records I’m sure they’ll show many arrests in each incident.
So you worship a criminal with an anger problem?
