Why don't they just sandblast the inscription off and replace it with "We lost the war".

Is that inscription on all the markers or just that one? Why would they get rid of the markers? Or is it because they have a Confederate flag on them? When are they going to blow up the two Presidents heads on Mt. Rushmore who owned slaves? Damn---people are STUPID.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The right way is not to hide behind religion.

So it's more right to kill somebody for secular reasons?

Virginia is a mess right now. The guv was in black-face years ago, the 2nd in line has a woman saying she was assaulted by him and now a 3rd in line says he did black-face years ago too. These 3 are all Dems. The 4th in line is a Republican....Uh-Oh!!

Charlottesville Tiki Torcher Killed Himself Before Drug Smuggling Trial

Conger’s research identified Von Nukem as one of the men who attacked Deandre Harris in a parking garage. She also connected the dots to show how Von Nukem gloated about the attack in text messages to another white supremacist rally organizer, who was later prosecuted in a separate case.

Journalists, researchers, and anti-fascist activists spent months carefully examining photos and videos of the violence that day to identify white supremacists and hold them accountable. Von Nukem, who stood front and center during some of the most iconic moments of the hateful procession, was quickly outed by former classmates back in his home state. One former student told the local Springfield News-Leader that in school he was known as a “token goth kid” who had what the newspaper described as “an unsettling interest in Nazi Germany.”

At the time, Von Nukem told the newspaper he supported Donald Trump and had adopted the white supremacist worldview that whites are now “disadvantaged.”
