Baltimore Quietly Removed All 4 Of Its Confederate Statues Overnight


All four of Baltimore’s Confederate statues were removed overnight, just days after a white nationalist rally erupted into chaos and violence (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/charlottesville-was-inevitable-white-nationalist-rally_us_59907756e4b090964297ba58) in Charlottesville, Virginia.

The Baltimore City Council voted unanimously Monday night to immediately take down the monuments after more than a year of indecision.

City crews began the removal process at 11:30 p.m. Tuesday and finished around 5:30 a.m. Wednesday, according to The Baltimore Sun (http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/baltimore-city/bs-md-ci-monuments-removed-20170816-story.html). Hours earlier,President Donald Trump (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/topic/donald-trump) had defended the white nationalist demonstrators (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-charlottesville-statement_us_59935477e4b009141640ab00?ncid=inblnku shpmg00000009)who gathered in Virginia this weekend, ostensibly to protest the removal of a Confederate statue.

Bravo Baltimore. I think we'll see a lot more of this in the coming years.

Maryland was considered a southern state since it is south of the Mason-Dixon. Why do we have any of those statues?

Historical reasons I suppose.

More Americans died in the Civil War than any other war in history.

Many see confederate soldiers as veterans, so I guess to honor their service to their country? There are many statues of questionable people all over America and the world, not taking them down is now political suicide for certain politicians. My question is when will this nonsense stop, will one side or the other ever be satisfied?

A WTVR CBS 6 journalist was assaulted by a protester in Richmond Sunday night.

This was an Antifa fuck.

One attack was captured in a profanity-filled video later posted to YouTube. The bike lock flashes through the air and smashes into a man’s head with a thunk.

Another Antifa fuck, this man was rushed to the hospital after the attack.

Police say around 12:30 p.m., several anti-Trump protesters attacked a group of Trump supporters who were trying to enter a Center City bar. Three were arrested after they allegedly injured one of the Trump supporters and attacked a police officer.

Another Antifa attack.

Easy tiger. You're really making some assumptions there. You mention ANTIFA. You had not mentioned that in your post claiming the radical left uses intimidation and violence like ISIL. That is patently false. ANTIFA has not declared a caliphate, has not claimed a large swath of the middle east, does not have a religeous agenda and thats just the tip of the iceburg in comparing the two. We can go on about beheadings, rape, torture, burning people alive in cages and yeah. Your claim is stupid.

Also the KKK never owned any part of the Middle East so I guess according to your own logic this is a failed comparison. SAD!

I'm actually being more than generous with your comments.

I mentioned the radical left being like terrorists and said they were taking their queues from ISIS. You said it's an unfair comparison because the radical left hasn't taken over parts of the Middle East and a more fair comparison to ISIS is the KKK, because we all remember when the KKK controlled parts of the Middle East.

I then said the radical left engages in fear tactics and attacks to silence speech they don't like. You asked for examples. I provided plenty of examples. You ignored said examples and pivoted back to how horrible the KKK was back in their heyday, which was at least 60 years ago.

You then latch onto this distraction bullshit by saying I "mentioned" Antifa and then you began to focus on particular groups/organizations when all I said from the VERY FIRST POST was the radical left was engaging in some terrorist actions. You still for some reason ignore all of the examples I provided of Antifa being dangerous fucking animals.

Someone then mentions the targeting of Republicans at a baseball game. Your response? Not part of a group. Doesn't count.

Post-2001[edit]
As of June 2015, right-wing attacks since the September 11 attacks (9/11) had claimed more lives (48) than attacks committed by jihadists (26).[38] Thereafter, jihadist terrorist attacks (the 2015 San Bernardino attack and the 2016 Orlando nightclub shooting) raised the Islamic extremist death toll above that caused by right-wing extremists. As of July 2016, the New America Foundation placed the number killed in terrorist attacks in the U.S. (since 9/11) as follows: 94 killed in jihadist terrorist attacks, 50 killed in far-right attacks, and 5 killed in far-left attacks.[39]

New America's tally shows right-wing terrorist attacks causing 68 fatalities since September 11, 2001. These were:[39]

The 2017 murder by driving a car into counter-protestors there to protest against the alt-right in Charlottesville, Virginia (1 killed).

A radical leftist has attempted to murder Republican congresspeople because of politics.

A radical leftist has murdered a Republican committeeman because of politics.

A radical leftist (actually several) have called for white genocide.

Radical leftists have toppled a statue they don't like.

Radical leftists assault people with baseball bats and pepper sprays because of politics.

Radical leftists have taken over college campuses, shut down college campuses, and have banned white people from certain parts of college campuses.

How is this NOT like ISIS? Oh right, because they haven't literally taken over parts of the Middle East. I forgot about your stellar argument making.

I think the confusion comes from you lumping all of them into ANTIFA where none of them have been proven to, have claimed they are, or otherwise tied to them. ANTIFA's main goal is to fight racism according to reports about them.

Uh, this thread is about the Baltimore City Council removing Confederate statues. You're the one who decided that that equated to left wing radicals being like ISIS and that today's KKK seems to be full of stand up fellas who don't want to kill nobody no how.

Me pointing out that you're an idiot doesn't count as deflection. Unless you're talking about deflecting your deflection of the actual topic by going on a rant about the left wing, which seems to happen in every post you make regardless of the post or thread it's responding to.

Unless you hate the term "radical" and want me to just refer to them as "the left", but last time I did that I triggered a bunch of whiners telling me how dare I refer to the left that way.

Don't let a little thing like a complete lack of evidence stop you from making a counter argument to something that was never said.

It's kind of like going into a hate spiral about left wing terrorists in response to a right wing terrorist plowing his car into some people and causing statues to get taken down. He's another idiot making conservatives look bad. You should look him up. I'm sure you'd get along swimmingly.

The bottom line is, statues aren't the solution to any of this. They are just another thing in the target of people who keep racism alive, because its literally a part of their identity. Instead of moving on and realizing that this shit was hashed out a hundred years ago, they throw it back in everyone's face every chance that arrises. Imagine a married couple, one person slips up and makes a bad decision, for this instance lets use an affair as an example. Will the relationship ever be mended if the victim constantly throws the affair in the face of the accused? So you get rid of anything relating to that affair, apologize and do everything that you can to show your love for each other. This race card is very similar, there are people who would be out of a job and identity if it was not for race baiting.

Things being YOUR narrative do not make them narratives shared by everyone. I can see how you might think it is, having surrounded yourself by only viewpoints that support a frothing rage against the left, but normal people realize that the other side is also composed largely of normal people and are able to justify their responses with things like facts and evidence rather than only blind hatred and the aforementioned frothing rage.

Personally I think it's appalling that history is being destroyed because people want to politicize in 2017 something that happened in the 1860s. To this day, by people on both sides of the Mason Dixon line consider Robert E. Lee one of the greatest military leaders history has ever seen. Likewise, names like James Longstreet and Thomas Jackson are equally revered because of both their service in the civil war and their service with distinction prior.

Maryland showed a good deal of sympathy to the Confederacy because it was being held in the union by force due to its location. It stands to reason that statues were erected. The act of tearing them down by itself would not be as bad as it is based on two things:

1) The reason they're being torn down is stupid in this case and politically charged.

2) Support for tearing them down is done largely by people who want to pretend that history never happened, and have never been acquainted with the idea that history tends to repeat itself, especially when you plug your ears and go "lalalalalala" instead of remembering it.

How many people would flip the fuck out if tomorrow a story broke about a Vietnamese man being beaten brutally and in response we tore down the Vietnam War Memorial? That's another shameful event in this country's history, but we remember it and build monuments because it's important to remember.

Perhaps I chose my wording poorly. The people whom I have heard speak at length, tweet at 140, or post on Facebook about the Confederacy and why we should tear down statues and ban the Confederate flag, have done so in the absolutely uneducated way possible. And that's even worse than racism to me. In a few hundred years, historically speaking, the US and its politics will likely be gone, or at least unrecognizable. But deleting history out of ignorance or some other unrelated cause is a time honored tradition that needs to end.

Oh man, I just got it. The real reason you guys hate the left so much is they have the courage to actually act on their beliefs, and you guys are so scared you hide in your snowflake safe spaces online. It's not the red of your necks, it's the green in your eyes.This would come as quite a surprise to Mildred Loving, Oliver Brown, Bruce Boynton, and would really embarrass President Lyndon Johnson. He threw away his chance at being re-elected President when civil rights had already been hashed out fifty years earlier! Wow, his face would be so red.
Lyndon Johnson was a civil rights hero, but also a racist who frequently used the N word. The civil rights bill he passed, he called "The nigger bill". So funny how people can ignore such indecencies when it comes to the democratic party.

Wow. A bunch of you assholes are trying really hard to defend racism through one means or another, whether bad history or false equivalencies or something else.

Here's the bottom line: People ought to have equal rights and respect under the law, and those who want to keep that from being the case are assholes. Anyone *actually* want to argue with that statement?

For the most part people do have equal rights and respect under the law, no matter what facebook or MSNBC tries to tell anyone. The issues here are not statues, or confederate flags, or protestors. The issue is the media and democratic party who uses this issue to tally up votes.
Democratic playbook
Step one- identify something bad happening, and dont let it go to waste.
Step two- next election cycle, lie about how you can make it better and promise everyone butterfly's and roses

You know the saying about never letting a crisis go to waste, Politicians have been doing it since the beginning of our country. One quote comes to mind, another from Lyndon Johnson "I'll have niggers voting democrat for 200 years" thanks to the civil rights movement.

We don't have a two-party system, anyone is more than welcome to start a new political party. We have the green party, libertarians, communist party...

All political ideologies are simply a mix of Liberty and Tyranny. Government has an abysmal track record of "fixing" anything. If we are serious about "fixing" things the only way to do it is by fixing yourself, only then will others want to follow step. This whole idea that we can project our ideals is a fools folly, only through self reflection will others willfully follow an ideal.

Seems like you are advancing another argument that is different than what the OP said. On the one hand you advocate for equal rights and respect under the law...then on the other say people are assholes for not agreeing with your point of view. Part of what makes this country great is that you will have people with different opinions and they have the right to their point of view even if you disagree with it. It's like you are advocating for free speech but then want to shut up the people you don't agree with. It doesn't work that way, sorry.

My point to the OP was that if these idiots are going to topple statues then they better get ready to topple their own party because it has a huge history of racism and oppression to the very people it now is supposedly protecting.

ISIS was tearing down Roman shit too, Romans enslaved lots of people and was responsible for lots of deaths.

ISIS also blew up parts of the Tal Afar Citadel which was built by the Ottoman Empire. Slavery was rampant in the Ottoman Empire.

Isn't that where we're drawing the line with this shit? It's okay to take it upon yourself to destroy relics from the past when slavery was okay?

Protesters with a Memphis religious groups took a shovel to Confederate Lt. Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest’s grave and statue in a public park on Wednesday, in an act that many locals are calling vandalism.

“If he’s gone, some of this racism and race-hate might be gone,” Isaac Richmond, of the Commission on Religion and Racism, told a local CBS affiliate. “We got a fresh shovel full, and we hope that everybody else will follow suit and dig him up.”

But they aren't like terrorists! We can't call out their bad actions or we too are white supremacist Nazis!

Not sure you actually read the OP. Here it is:


Bravo Baltimore. I think we'll see a lot more of this in the coming years.

No mention there of party, just someone who thinks it's a good idea to tear down the statues glorifying the leaders of a rebellion that very nearly ended the USA. And pretty much all of these statues didn't even go up until 60+ years after the war, when some southerners were trying to institutionalize discrimination and cement it as normal. That is the history they represent: the history of discrimination in the United States. They represent a time when blacks couldn't use the same drinking fountain or restroom as whites, when they couldn't get a loan to buy a home because of the color of their skin, where they couldn't attend the same schools as whites, or enter many buildings at all, and when they were burned alive and/or lynched without trial. Those statues certainly don't belong in Baltimore.

Yet here we are today, where inexplicably you can't even Godwin a conversation anymore, because Nazis are marching for white supremacy, here, in the United States. A group of people espousing the ideals of Nazis, (whom tens of thousands of Americans fought and died to defeat), think they should just get a hall pass when they put on their swastikas and march in a small Virginia town because they think that what those statues represent is a good thing. I think taking down the statues sends an important message to white supremacists: go away, your ideals do not fit with the ideals of our country today.

Nazis have been marching in the US long before Trump was sworn in. It just didn't receive as much widespread news coverage nor were the counter protesters acting violent swept under the rug by the media either, because the media has a clear narrative they want to push.

Give me a break. The statue the vandals tore down the other day wasn't any particular figure and the engraving read "In memory of ‘the boys who wore the gray.'"

I know this might come as a shock to many people but not everyone in the south was a racist, that is literally impossible. Also upwards of 200,000 Confederate soldiers were drafted, they didn't join the military to kill them yanks.

Easy tiger. You're really making some assumptions there. You mention ANTIFA. You had not mentioned that in your post claiming the radical left uses intimidation and violence like ISIL. That is patently false. ANTIFA has not declared a caliphate, has not claimed a large swath of the middle east, does not have a religeous agenda and thats just the tip of the iceburg in comparing the two. We can go on about beheadings, rape, torture, burning people alive in cages and yeah. Your claim is stupid.

I honestly don't understand how it's possible for you to keep becoming more and more retarded every day. I always assumed there was a cap to this but you've shattered that glass ceiling and continue to do it again and again every day.

Stop being such a vagina.


Yes, Antifa's actions are terrorism. It fits all of the definitions. They even topple statues they don't like. You couldn't get a more perfect example of a domestic terror group if you tried.


Dude you have not provided any evidence of ANTIFA being dangerous fucking animals. The first thing I responded to was you saying radical left being like ISIS. I think we've covered all of that. The point being you making false equivalencies.

Don't let a little thing like a complete lack of evidence stop you from making a counter argument to something that was never said.

It's kind of like going into a hate spiral about left wing terrorists in response to a right wing terrorist plowing his car into some people and causing statues to get taken down. He's another idiot making conservatives look bad. You should look him up. I'm sure you'd get along swimmingly.

This has been the narrative of most black folks I've talked to about it. They almost to a person say fuck neo-Nazi's, fuck racism, who gives a fuck about some statues.

Virtue signaling white kids are the majority of the idiots "outraged" by most if not all of today's hot button racial issues when the races they're expressing outrage over for the most part don't even give a shit.

Like that article the other day with all these dumb white kids being outraged over "cultural appropriation" from some mom dressing her kid up as a geisha, then an actual Japanese person shows up and tells them how most Japanese people think it's pretty cool when Americans do shit like that, then proceeded to list all this Japanese stuff that they actually "culturally appropriated" from other countries and cultures. It's in a thread somewhere on here that I'm too lazy to search for.

Same with the whole Ghost In the Shell thing. White leftist kids were all outraged over Scarlet Johansson, while actual Asian people didn't give a shit and thought it was cool.

Most Natives don't give a fuck about the Redskins being called the Redskins either, that's mostly just dumb white kids also.

Come to think of it, I can't think of even one racial and/or minority issue where the group that's supposedly being oppressed has more people outraged over it than retarded white kids outraged over it.

Someone help me out here, there has to be at least 1.

Perhaps I chose my wording poorly. The people whom I have heard speak at length, tweet at 140, or post on Facebook about the Confederacy and why we should tear down statues and ban the Confederate flag, have done so in the absolutely uneducated way possible. And that's even worse than racism to me. In a few hundred years, historically speaking, the US and its politics will likely be gone, or at least unrecognizable. But deleting history out of ignorance or some other unrelated cause is a time honored tradition that needs to end. It didn't start at, but it first made the mainstream media upon the burning of the Library at Alexandria, and nobody has learned a goddamned thing from the mistake.

Antifa protesters marched on Piedmont Park in Atlanta, Georgia this week, bent on destroying the "Confederate monument" they said was encouraging racism in their community. But it was only after they'd vandalized and spray-painted the statue that they realized it was a "peace monument" designed to encourage national healing in the wake of the Civil War.

I actually agree that people ripping down statues without due process are vandals, but that doesn't mean they're the same as ISIS. The motivations are entirely different. You're trying to equate whole movements and ideologies on the base of one similarity, which is like saying that because a rock is round and the sun is round, the sun is a rock -- but of course it's not.

It does, though, on a side note, people totally misunderstand the freedom of speech guaranteed by the First Amendment, which is freedom from government oppression for speaking up, not a carte blanche to say whatever you want without other people getting upset. I pointed out that it's a smoke screen here, though, because the alt right is trying to make a civil rights issue into a freedom of speech issue. It's not a freedom of speech issue; it's a civil rights issue.

Just like the asshole who drove his car into a crowd of people was emulating actions taken by terrorists as well.

It does, though, on a side note, people totally misunderstand the freedom of speech guaranteed by the First Amendment, which is freedom from government oppression for speaking up, not a carte blanche to say whatever you want without other people getting upset. I pointed out that it's a smoke screen here, though, because the alt right is trying to make a civil rights issue into a freedom of speech issue. It's not a freedom of speech issue; it's a civil rights issue. If you're shouting about how whites are the best race, and I tell you that that's a civil-rights violation and shout back, and you yell that you can say whatever you want (misunderstanding the 1st Amendment and all), you're just trying to distract people from the real issue, which is that you're a racist fuck.

There's no law against just shouting racist things. There is however a law against committing acts of violence because someone hurt your feelings or said stuff you don't like or agree with.

Shouting that whites are the best isn't a civil rights violation either. It's a good way to identify oneself as a piece of shit, but that's about it. But I'd love to hear how mean words are a civil rights violation.

You're absolutely right, but the law is there to protect people's right to express their free speech as well. That means the local police should be there protecting people who are expressing their free speech on public property. Claiming the government should just turn a blind eye to people being physically attacked because "Well as long as it's not the government shutting down speech!" is absurd.

Also what you're referring to is our constitutional right to free speech, what I (and I imagine a lot of other people) are referring to is our concept of free speech. That is people being able to express their free speech without a third party shutting down their free speech or threatening them or physically attacking them.

It's why I'm such a big proponent of little moderation here on the PC, I don't want thought police telling us we are engaging in wrong think. Does this mean I think it's our constitutional right to post whatever we want here on the PC? Of course not. It's me recognizing that I believe strongly in the concept of free speech, even for little weasels like Stumplicker.

I don't care what their motives are, I still recognize their right to free speech on public land and their right to assemble. This means requiring the government to protect them when "counter protesters" show up with baseball bats and pepper spray.

Seattle Mayor Wants Confederate Statue AND Lenin Statue Removed (http://www.dailywire.com/news/19884/seattle-mayor-wants-confederate-statue-and-lenin-hank-berrien?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_content=062316-news&utm_campaign=benshapiro)


In the last few days, Seattleites have expressed concerns and frustration over symbols of hate, racism and violence that exist in our city. Not only do these kinds of symbols represent historic injustices, their existence causes pain among those who themselves or whose family members have been impacted by these atrocities. We should remove all these symbols, no matter what political affiliation may have been assigned to them in the decades since they were erected. This includes both confederate memorials and statues idolizing the founder of the authoritarian soviet regime. Both are on private property, but I believe the confederate memorial at Lake View Cemetery and the Lenin statue in Fremont should be removed. We should never forget our history, but we also should not idolize figures who have committed violent atrocities and sought to divide us based on who we are or where we came from.

I'll admit I'm shocked. Let's see which statue(s), if any, get ultimately get removed.

Statues of war figures are about veneration- not recollection. And these statues were, by and large, erected specifically for the purpose of veneration. It would be inaccurate to treat treat them as somehow neutral representations of the Confederacy. (If such a thing can be said to exist) They definitely were not erected as warnings against it.

The second you start playing "slippery slope" with a white nationalist, neo-nazi hate march, you've already fallen right down that slope.

There's no grey area here. These are horrendous people, and one of them tried to kill dozens of people during that march. You also had neo-nazis who were all standing across from a Jewish Synagogue holding guns and screaming "Sieg Heil" at them over and over again. They came marching with fire and guns chanting "Jews will not replace us", and you're sitting here trying to talk about it as though it's really just the right-wing equivalent of people who showed up to march against hate.

I don't consider it erasing history. I call it learning from history. Books aren't being erased. Put the statues in museums.

So THAT is what these fine, upstanding citizens are doing.... moving these statues to museums!

I can't wait to go!

Yes, during the Civil War, the Democrats were the party of slavery. However, the Democratic party of the 1860s is not the Democratic party of the 2010s, and it's bad history and worse disingenuity to make the connection you're trying to make.

America of the 1860s is not the America of the 2010s. So what's your point? Maybe I am traumatized by the past actions of the Democratic Party. Does that mean I get to topple donkey statues?

The destruction of property in this way is flat out wrong.

But then I'm talking to someone who wants equality but then calls the other side asshole.

The second you start playing "slippery slope" with a white nationalist, neo-nazi hate march, you've already fallen right down that slope.

There's no grey area here. These are horrendous people, and one of them tried to kill dozens of people during that march. You also had neo-nazis who were all standing across from a Jewish Synagogue holding guns and screaming "Sieg Heil" at them over and over again. They came marching with fire and guns chanting "Jews will not replace us", and you're sitting here trying to talk about it as though it's really just the right-wing equivalent of people who showed up to march against hate.

And you know how you can tell how incredibly wrong you are?

You're currently making the same arguments as Neveragain- one of PC's card-carrying white supremecists. That alone should be a serious reality check for you.

I love how the left characterizes neo-Nazi as on the right. Those fools have more in common with the progressive movement...they are part of the progressive movement. Same insane logic, that being a desire for a fundamental transformation of America.

Can't wait for the progressive movement to start destroying Christian statues.

I'm only half paying attention but what are you blathering on about now? People who wage war on the US can't have a statue? Very few people were responsible for "waging war" against the Union, most other people who fought for the Confederacy had no choice, the citizens in the south certainly had little to no choice.

Or do we just say they're all racist fucks so no statue!

What about in the UK, should they have statues of any US citizens or honor the US in any way?

What about India, should they have any statues honoring UK citizens in any way?

Go back far enough and someone fucked over another person's family in some way, so let's just do away with all statues and monuments, just to be on the safe side. This is the madness Democrats want to engage in. This is the madness Latrinsorm wants to engage in.

No, there shouldn't. I don't think that is statue worthy. It's certainly a tragedy, but it wasn't something heroic or world changing.

I never said Antifa and Baseball players were exactly the same, I said they were taking queues from them, so why do you disagree?

Baseball was inspired by Cricket, which has been around since 1725 or some shit, so it's really England that's responsible for Antifa and ISIS.

Statues of war figures are about veneration- not recollection. And these statues were, by and large, erected specifically for the purpose of veneration. It would be inaccurate to treat treat them as somehow neutral representations of the Confederacy. (If such a thing can be said to exist) They definitely were not erected as warnings against it.

Secondly- you say this has nothing to do with racism. So why have white supremecy, neo-nazi groups fixated so strongly on them?

What is it exactly about these monuments they're venerating?
