It looks like someone called in when they saw how they were rigging it up and told them to stop

I see one of two things happening:

1)It comes down- in pieces
2)They give up after either breaking more equipment or an injury.

MidCity was a total shitshow this morning because of this. I'm sure it fricked up a lot of morning commutes.

SS's text is the most racist, race-bating, dumbest, dickskin-licking; did I say racist, oh yeah, I did; post I have ever had the misfortune of reading on Tiger Droppings.

How this dysentery-ridden turd hasn't been banned is beyond me.

What a colossal joke. You've got streets and businesses shut down over this stupidity. Their attempt to bring down Lee will probably kill someone.

He has alters, so it doesn't really matter.

I live on North Clark and it resembled, and may still resemble BR traffic after an LSU game. Shite sucked.

and if that happens... the Monument Task Force will run back to the courts saying the city didn't abide by the original ruling about taking care of the statues during the removal

Yeah. If they can't get this down, imagine PGT and Lee.

Honestly this operation is bordering on criminal negligence. If one of these workers gets seriously injured or worse in this already bungled job, then there should be serious civil if not criminal liability facing whoever let these guys move forward with a total lack of knowledge, skill, and proper equipment.

Just leave the base. Add a plaque explaining what happened. The evil man is gone. Only words left. Then everyone can read and maybe learn something. Everyone happy?

...and they're using people who don't have the experience in this trade. Fireman, etc.

If they are having trouble with this tiny arse base, how are they going to handle this monster on a horse?
