Like thieves in the night, the city of Baltimore removed four Confederate statues
In the aftermath of the shitstorm created by Trumps tirade Tuesday blaming both sides, the city of Baltimore acted quickly by removing four Confederate statues in the middle of the night.
The Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson Monument was removed from Wyman Park Dell near Johns Hopkins University.
The Confederate Soldiers and Sailors Monument was removed from Mount Royal Avenue.
The Confederate Women’s Monument was removed from West University Parkway.
Also removed was the Roger B. Taney Monument on Mount Vernon Place. Taney was the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court who authored the 1857 Dred Scott ruling that affirmed slavery..
Baltimore’s mayor said she acted swiftly to avoid a repeat in her city of the Charlottesville violence.
I suspect that only a handful of Baltimore’s blacks knew who in the hell Roger Taney was or what in the hell the Dred Scott case was.
The Democratic governors of North Carolina and Virginia now want all Confederate monuments in their states removed.
Watch for the nation’s Confederate statues to fall like a stack of dominoes.

Good luck removing them in rural East Texas. One of the largest Confederate Monuments is still being built in Orange, Texas near I-10. It is huge and almost complete. Those good old boys would love to see someone try and remove it.
How come the Alt Right are carrying red flags with a hammer and sickle?
I hope all the monument destroying people will start burning their currency too. It's just not write to destroy a Lincoln Monument and then carry his picture in your wallet.
