@ j. godwin. Very well said, sir. I find it ironic that whomever the thugs were that damaged this monument would think that by vandalizing it, they’ve done anything other than damage their own cause. They’re also not aware that the Northern States that had slaves in bondage kept some of them that way until nearly 1900.

I know many people in favor of removing the Confederate flag. None of them have ever expressed that the lives of the soldiers of the Confederacy don’t matter. I find it unlikely that anyone actually feels that. Even if they did, what would they gain by doing this? Right now all the momentum is on their side. All this act does is galvanize people who are in favor keeping the flag flying.
What are the chances that this was done by someone who is a flag supporter just trying to stir the pot? If I were a betting man that is where my money would go.

For those who like to destroy or damage Confederate monuments– you may wish to read U.S. public law 85-425. sec 410. Congress made this a crime a number of years ago. I know the Fed’s are not going to follow up and I question if the fools who did this will or can read this.

“Confed” because they can’t spell confederate.

The Ebenezer church in Atlanta was terrorized by 2 white men who placed a few confederate flags on the church grounds…they are pursuing that case as an “act of domestic terrorism.” Let’s pray for all those poor souls that have to deal with the repercussions of that awful event. Never forget 7/31/15. Lol

Take away them free government money cards and some on both sides of the issue will be too busy trying to earn a living to worry about such.

Glad I live out in the country. I am tired of all of this mess. I fly my flag with pride. Heritage not hate.

$1000? Gimme $500, I’ll get some paint thinner & have that fixed up for ya!

To the weak minds that did this, I’d say that destruction is easy, & if you don’t like the sentiments expressed by the memorial, why don’t you try creating some attraction that expresses your own opinion?

Because you take the easy way, & you always will.
