The Confederate symbols. Now this is American history. But the offended, wanted all symbols taken off state, owned property, Ok. Now they want to remove monuments, and now threat to destroy graves and any markers left. People who have the right to display these items on personal vehicles and property are now being attacked. So what is next, rewrite all the history books and deny what happened? All because some people where offended, See what happened? Now 2, Christian Symbols , There has always been a hate among, those who do not believe in God. So, It Offends them. Anwser, remove them all. So if we comply, what next? Well based on Intolerance, the same thing will happen. Erase it all. Why? Because they are offended. Well, there will always be things that offend, But one group does not have the right to determine what is offence or not!No, you see , this is what teaches tolerance. Maybe, we should, deal with our own feelings and not force it on the world. I am a southerner, But history does not bother me, it is what it is. I am a Christian, Your choice of what to believe is up to you. But the thin skinned aprouch to ( well I do not like it take it down) must stop. So, If a mere symbol offends you so deeply, How are you going to function in a world of real people??? And we do live in the real world. 2017.

How about those four and any others who don't like it, use your free will and DON"T LOOK AT IT!!!!!! Better yet leave Pensacola, I'm sure you won't be missed :-) All of this controversy because 4 (FOUR) people didn’t want to see it.

None of you offer legal arguments to support your cause. Those who support removing it cite the law. How about we have an informed opinion vs hurt feelings?

What on Earth does like have to with it? I think the cross is fine, I do not find it of endive in the least. But when I look about at the countries of the world where government and religion are one, failures the whole lot of them. Israel is the most successful, and they are building a wall around the whole country. We have done just fine allowing citizens place these elements in their own private lands. That is good for me.

Comparing the judiciary to people who actively killed Christians might be a bit of a stretch. Ask your judge buddies how they like your comparison. Crazy. Also, you're saying you wouldn't do anything to prohibit the display of a Swastika, Pentagram, inverted US Flag, or a Blood Drop Cross, because we are a better community when we tolerate the symbols of others. Sure. If it wasn't a cross that was going to be taken down we wouldn't have heard a peep out of you. Truth. Peace. Mr. Robinson,

To Michael: “He would have been leading the parade instead of appearing to jump on the band wagon just to get some free campaign advertising….. ” Campaign for what? He’s not running for commissioner again. Besides, I have known him for years and you are completely wrong about his beliefs and character.

A bit cynical?!
