A judge ruled Tuesday that New Orleans can move forward with plans to take down its storied Confederate monuments, but the job is big, and won't be easy.
The City Council voted last month to take down public statues honoring Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis, P.G.T Beauregard and a white militia group, months after a racially-charged mass shooting in South Carolina touched off a national debate over Confederate symbols.
Historians and preservationists balked, saying the iconic monuments are part of the city's past, but a federal judge's denial of their bid for an injunction means the markers can come down.

I have asked for a curse on those who would remove them. Burning Lambos aside that should be the low end of the maladies they bring on themselves

DeleteSad thing though Brock I always loved New Orleans as a younger man Dixie Beer. Food. Beads. All that. I had to curse them. Seems like it's a city gone with the wind.
