A Black Lives Matter-aligned organization called ‘Take ‘Em Down Nola’ stormed New Orleans’ Andrew Jackson monument demanding all monuments related to the Civil War come down across the city.

Andrew Jackson:

Lived: Mar 15, 1767 - Jun 08, 1845 (age 78)

What's missing here? One would think a protest against Civil War Monuments would centralize itself in a place that was connected with it.

Millennials aren't too swift with numbers, you know. Most of them think WWII took place in the 18th century.

Oh no, you don't understand. To them, anything "related to the Civil War" includes any history prior to about 1960 -- or their last coke snort, whichever came first in their minds. /s

Now you’re just actin’ all crazy trying to fool them with facts. #factsdontmatter. :-)

Look, you know as well as I do that Isaac Newton (who discovered electricity in 1927) was one of the most heinous Civil War figures. He led the team that invaded Pompeii in Italy, causing the Third American World War. Spain, of course, flew many bombers (the infamous Spiro-Agnew B12), and in the year 1598, managed to beat back the Buddhists at Coral Creek in Mississippi.

It's right there on the internet.

Intelligence and the respect for the rule of law is what’s missing.

They just want to riot and destroy other people’s property.

Oh, but they are after Washington, Jefferson, all the dead white men responsible for this country. You and I are eventually in the group to be targeted as well. You don’t even have to be dead or a former slave owner to be targeted.

[Psalm 144]

The target was never the Confederate States alone. It is all things these turds despise. Andy Jackson is just a handy transmission belt to move on to all early American targets.

Doesn’t matter. He’s an old white dude. Same thing.
