You know taking down statues is much more important that having a good economy, safe streets, good schools, etc


Did the schools, economy, and streets turn to shite because of the silly arse fight to remove some concrete and brass? Or have they been in need of an overhaul for a long time? Where was this "boycott" movement before?

It's crazy how a bunch of second place trophies could cause such a stir.

What's the delay?

OSHA?

Long lunch?

Hoping it starts to rain so they can delay this until Monday?

Mitch's presser at 2PM?

They did about 45mins worth of work this morning destroying the landscaping, burning out a crane, and taking a 10 min look at the statue.

The best idea I have heard would be for Krewe D'tat or some other krewe to purchase them and make fun of Mitch for eternity on a float.

Sometimes the cup finally overflows. The city turned to shite due to ignorant voters repeatedly voting in politicians who are dumb as shite.

White Flight caused all of this....at least the hipsters moving into black rent neighborhoods are trying to solve the problem.

To be fair, they also took a couple of knocks on Lee's boot with a hammer.

A majority of the residents here didn't care and still don't care about these inanimate objects. The issue has been and will always be the fascist Landrieu.


We have more pressing issues: depleted NOPD, crime, schools, streets, etc...

Our asshat mayor is pandering to a small group of people.

No hammer just his hand, Mitch is trying to keep costs down so no hammer was placed into the PO

I'm not sure if your arguing with me or just think I'm stupid.. I knew that already

And as far as pandering to us, it's not that.. it's not about pandering at all
