This blog grew out of my "Down Da Road I Go Blog," which was originally to be about stuff I was interested in, music and what I was doing. There was so much history and Civil War entries, I spun two more off. Starting Jan. 1, 2012, I will be spinning a Naval blog off this one called "Running the Blockade."

The Shame of UNC- Chapel Hill: The Desecration of "Silent Sam"
What occurred last night on the campus of the University of North Carolina- Chapel Hill was nothing less than a hate crime, and, as at Durham and Duke University after Charlottesville, police stood by and did nothing to stop the desecration of a piece of history.
The statue of "Silent Sam", as he has been called for decades, had stood for over 100 years, dedicated in 1913 to the memory of UNC students who gave their lives for the Confederacy and all those who fought for it. That is school history.
Those students and non-student agitators should be expelled from the school for destruction of property and arrested and brought to trial for hate crimes. But, I am sure, like at Durham, nothing will be done. And, in these days of smart phones, I am sure there is plenty of evidence of those who are guilty of it.
Well, At Least the Left Will No Longer Be Able to "Vandalize" It Anymore. That "Vandalizing" Is Actually A Hate Crime." --Old Secesh
