Well for one thing the USA did NOT honor Southern heroes with statues/memorials.

The CSA heroes statues & the memorials to the war dead were PRIVATELY PAID FOR by THE UNITED CONFEDERATE VETERANS, THE UNITED DAUGHTERS of the CONFEDERACY, THE SONS of CONFEDERATE VETERANS or THE CONFEDERATE MEMORIAL SOCIETY.
(Almost W/O exception the statues & the majority of the memorials to the dead were placed on PRIVATE PROPERTY. - For example, the statues on MONUMENT AVENUE were all on PRIVATE PROPERTY.)

FWIW, even in my little rural home county in TX, the CONFEDERATE MEMORIAL to the CSA’s UNKNOWN SOLDIER is on PRIVATE PROPERTY, even though the property is ON the central plaza in downtown. - A 30x30 foot plot was sold to the UDC in 1902 & the Daughters still own/maintain the memorial.

Expect to see a HUGE group of civil suits to be filed against Mayor Stoney, the City of Richmond & other groups/cities/counties for UNLAWFUL TAKING & DESTRUCTION OF PRIVATE PROPERTY.

This is even more infuriating. If these statues are on private property and were paid for by private citizens, then by what authority can the government take them down and confiscate them?

When this statue-removal nonsense started gaining steam, I was wondering if there were any organizations or groups of individuals in various states who would get together to purchase some private plots of empty land to which these historical statues could be relocated to keep them 'safe' from government removal.

If the government is removing statues that are already on private property, then it appears that there is no 'safe haven' for these works of art, and private property rules have been effectively eliminated.

I hope you are correct regarding the civil suits.

the riots do not see themselves as rioters, they are literally revolutionaries for a new country. They simply do not care.

The left wanted a great reset and they have the money and cannon fodder for the reset they want.

We can explain till the end of time and they will never listen that is not their game. If they erase everything then there is no explanation needed.
