It says, “We Ready. We Comin’. Take ‘Em down”
Via Daily Caller:
A group that aligns itself with the Black Lives Matter movement used black spray paint to deface and threaten the City of New Orleans this past weekend.
“Take ‘Em Down Nola”, a group that calls for the removal of all monuments that are linked to the Confederacy, has been pressuring city officials to remove certain monuments for over a year.
The vandals targeted the city’s P.G.T. Beauregard monument, Jefferson Davis monument, and Lee Circle, a monument for Confederate General Robert E. Lee.
“These structures litter our city with visual reminders of the horrid legacy of slavery that terrorized so many of this city’s ancestors. They misrepresent our community”, the group’s Facebook page states. “We demand the freedom to live in a city where we are not forced to pay taxes for the maintenance of public symbols that demean us and psychologically terrorize us.”
