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.

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.

We can all thank Nikki Haley for starting this BS.

The HATERS do what they do because they believe that NOBODY will stop their unlawful acts.
(An old Army buddy, who lives in Richmond, tells me that the Mayor KNEW that his acts were ILLEGAL & doesn’t care.)

For now, they may be correct
BUT
