Terrorists
have struck again in Charlottesville, vandalizing the beautiful Lee and
Jackson monuments. In the weeks since a judge ruled that City Council
had indeed violated state law in their attempts to remove the
memorials, local agitators appear to have been given free reign in
their criminal attempts to destroy the monuments. The pedestals for
both statues have been vandalized multiple times, either with paint or
by the decorative granite being chipped away.
The
statue of Thomas “Stonewall" Jackson in JACKSON Park was also spray
painted with “This Is Racist” on both sides of its pedestal at some
point during the weekend.
Our
friends in the Gordonsville Grays have organized monument patrols and
citizens assisting in the endeavor even caught several locals in the
act, preventing even more damage, but the terrorists were released by
Charlottesville Police, who told our folks that nothing
could be done unless a police officer caught them in the act.
Numerous requests to place cameras, including offers to pay for them, have all been denied by the city.
Staff with the Departments of Parks and Recreation was FINALLY at LEE
Park this morning, working to scrub the paint off the pedestal of the
LEE monument.
