    Default Baltimore Removes All 4 Of Its Confederate Statues Overnight

    The city council voted unanimously to rid the city of the monuments.

    All four of Baltimore’s Confederate statues were removed overnight, just days after a white nationalist rally erupted into chaos and violence in Charlottesville, Virginia.

    The Baltimore City Council voted unanimously Monday night to immediately take down the monuments. City crews began the removal process at 11:30 p.m. Tuesday and finished around 5:30 a.m. Wednesday, according to The Baltimore Sun.*Hours earlier,*President Donald Trump had defended the white nationalist demonstrators who gathered in Virginia over the weekend.

    Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh said the city moved “as quickly as we could” to get rid of the monuments.

    “It’s done,” Pugh told the Sun. “They needed to come down. My concern is for the safety and security of our people.”

    Several cities are now reportedly*considering removing their own Confederate monuments following Saturday’s deadly clashes in Charlottesville, including Memphis, Tennessee; Lexington, Kentucky; Jacksonville, Florida; and Washington, D.C.

    The Hollywood Forever Cemetery, one of the oldest cemeteries in Los Angeles, announced Tuesday that it plans to remove a monument honoring Confederate veterans.

    You tell me that it's evolution
    Well you know
    We all want to change the world

    You're already in .. and you've chosen a side. Trump is your side.

    America's history of vile and disgusting evil isn't being purged, it's being put in it's proper context .. not as tributes.

    What will you do when it does, since your side gave up its guns?

    It's purging. It's erasing historical figures from the public view/thought.
    If I asked you about Civil war battles -would you have a clue? Doubtful

    Trump isn't a racist -in fact he's tried to out reach to the inner cities.

    Go have your war, don't drag me into a Cultural Revolution pogrom. I refuse .

    All the evil and its symbols and warriors will be remembered by history. We should never forget that horror. But evil has no place in public view. They are the American swastika .. which also finds no place in public view in Germany today.

    "Trump isn't a racist" is a monumentally MINDBOGGLINGLY stupid statement today.
