Confederate South's Defenders Monument toppled by Hurricane Laura

Dave Weigel Retweeted

Lake Charles and Calcasieu Parish has been filled with controversy and tension after our parish government by a vote of 10-5 refused to take down the Confederate South’s Defenders Monument.

Hurricane Laura had other plans and brought it down herself.



That's minimum 10 years for Miss Laura here Rolling on the floor laughingSmiling face with open mouth and cold sweat

the Republicans would have said that it was the hand of the Almighty. But since they think they’ve got God in their back pocket, they’ll go secular and claim that it was only the wind.

Personally, I think that Someone was trying to send a message.

Reading back through Trump speech, noticed something that zoomed by me before. The only concrete anti-crime measure (apart from not letting Democrats win) is executive order creating 10-year sentence for statue destruction, which he says ended the statue-toppling. (1/2)



"Though on the sign it is written
Do not pluck these blossoms,
It is useless against the wind
Which cannot read."
