It doesn’t matter who is buried, digging up the dead body of anyone laid to rest (besides forensic investigators cracking a cold case) is extremely disrespectful.
Richmond, Virginia Democrat Mayor LeVar Stoney ordered a grounds crew to dig up the decomposed body of Confederate General AP Hill.
The move by Stoney comes a day after General AP Hill’s statue was taken down and due to his statue being used as a tombstone, his body was removed the very next day.

Reparations have nothing to do with slavery (see how affirmative action benefits blacks regardless of origin); it is to gloss over the failure of assimilation for the 160 years since this country ended its 80 years of slavery. Every group that can’t keep up with the white/Asian workers is being set up with a grievance industry to transfer wealth from those groups to themselves.
Fill the hole with Stoney.
I don’t like your post. It is all true.
MORE DEMOCRAT SICKNESS!!
Meanwhile, from 11 months ago...
It’s only halftime.
LaVar.....hmmmmm....let me guess without looking!
I haven’t pledged allegiance to this rotten government for which this flag stands for over two years.
I refuse to disrespect our history.
Hard rain is going to fall.
The Leftists just do whatever they want to do ... including digging up graves, which shows the state of their depravity. As I said in my original comment, they’ve ruined the city. Personally, I will not set foot in it until the monuments are back where they belong, which is now impossible .... so, never going back and yes, I feel that strongly about it and I’m not alone.
A family representative was there to take possession of the General’s body. Some think his monument/gravestone should have been moved to Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond & he should have been reburied there ... that’s where at least 49 ‘notables’ are buried. Here’s a link to the cemetery (interesting, beautiful place):

The General was born in Culpeper VA, so I think that’s why the family will be reburying him there and he can finally rest in peace, away from the BLM mobs & Levar Stoney.
From who? The right doesn’t take up arms in protest for any reason except to protect themselves.
Gen Hill’s family took possession of his remains and they’ll be reinterred at the family plot.
Agree strongly that this is an extremely ill move on the city’s part. There will be resultant ill luck.
Grave robber!!
Govenor Younkin has just lost me! If he can’t back our history how can he lead our future. FH!
“Why didn’t the Governer step in and stop this sh!t?”
Same reason Gov. Nicki Haley ordered removal of Confederate flags. We’ve been infiltrated by the enemy.
Trump didn’t change Youngkin’s name to a Chinese spelling for nothing. His first concern is not with America.

Like almost all Democrat cities it was a dysfunctional hellhole, and now it is a dysfunctional hellhole with ruined monuments.
Just one less reason to go there -- and there were few (if any) to begin with.
That’s really sick. These woke people are so hateful and disrespectful. They can just go to hell.
Fly the Fort Mercer flag like I do. It shows you still love and respect your country, its history and the Constitutional Republic but the colors are reversed and I use it symbolize how 180 degrees screwed up things have become here. It is a historic American Flag from the Revolution.

No, this is R E Lee. It is true that jackson ,when he became delerious with fever from the pneumonia that actually killed him made a similar order. It is interesting as Jackson and Hill regularly locked horns in real life. Lee suffered a stroke and then also developed a fever from which he died. His wife and daughters were with him round the clock and recorded his delerious remarks as he fought his last battle.
