Civil War II-- 551: Statues, Statues, Statues and Snooty

From Google Alerts for August 11, 2017, for Confederate.

**  Resident asks county to replace Confederate statue.  (Asheboro, N.C.)  (Loss)  One person, a former NAACP president, asked for its removal.  Sadly, today, all it takes is just one black person to be offended to accomplish the fact.

**  Easthampton police investigate theft of Confederate Flag   Makes you wonder why so many Confederate flag backers drive pick-up trucks?

**  Confederates for Snooty: Southern group backs manatee statue.  (Tampa, Fl.)  Ha Ha!

**  Competing protests at Travis Park Confederate monument expected to bring hundreds downtown.  (San Antonio)  This always scares me.  There are idiots on both sides and always the chance for bloodshed.

**  Landrieu:  Confederate monument removal didn't add to drainage problems in New Orleans.  Oh, really.  The city spent $2 million for the monument removal.  That could have gone to work on the city's water problem.  (Especially in light of Harvey's near miss.)

**  What to do with Confederate statues?

**  Citizens Advisory Committee votes down a recommendation to remove Confederate monument.  (Caddo Parish, Louisiana)  (Win)  A rare win, but for how long?
