A Richmond judge has issued a temporary injunction barring the state from taking down the Robert E. Lee statue on Monument Avenue for 10 days.
The injunction, issued Monday afternoon, came after a complaint was filed earlier in the day objecting to the monument’s removal. Gov. Ralph Northam announced last week that the state would take down the 130-year-old statue, which it owns and maintains, after a week of protests against police brutality and racism.
Earlier Monday, state workers inspected the monument before its planned removal. The Department of General Services said in a statement that a date for the statue’s removal had not been determined. Northam asked that it be taken down “as soon as possible.”

I’m surprised they haven’t found their way to Hollywood Cemetery .
The statues are on a street tho. Not a park.
Shhhhh!!
You should visit upon the destruction of the Confederate statues on Monument Avenue. One statue remains pristine on the avenue of The Confederates. That of tennis great, Arthur Ashe. I suggest changing the street name to “Say It Loud, I’m Black And I’m Proud Boulevard”. Who needs history anyway?
“Why is it right to turn against your family?”
Sorry, not biting.
Find someone else to bait.
Actually once you are detained they run your name and his history would have come up, so yes they knew about his history regardless of how the media will try and spin this
Another recall petition, ASAP.
But others may feel differently on this particular point.
Dear Richmond Virginia:
One tourist attraction of many is Monument Ave.
Besides the Capital grounds and Hollywood cemetery, what else do you idiots want to to erase from history? St. John’s Church in Church Hill?
I see, tourism isn’t your forte...
Learn history or you will be doomed to repeat it. Assholes.
