Judge nixes effort to block Confederate statue's removal, Sessions should be outraged

[JohnnyApplesack]

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A last-ditch effort to block the removal of a monument to a Confederate general in New Orleans was rejected Wednesday by a Louisiana judge who turned away arguments that the city doesn't own the statue or the land on which it sits.

"This has gone on an inordinate amount of time," Judge Kern Reese said as he outlined reasons for his refusal to grant an injunction protecting the statue of Gen. P.G.T Beauregard. It was a reference to state and federal court battles that delayed removal of the Beauregard monument and three others for more than a year.

If there are any living slaves they could ask for it to come down, I'm 50 and to this day I've never met one.

Is there any evidence that this particular general was a slave owner or a slave dealer?

Good point. All I could find was evidence to the contrary:

>> He was active in the Reform Party, an association of conservative New Orleans businessmen, which spoke in favor of civil rights and voting for the recently freed slaves, hoping to form alliances between African-Americans and Democrats to vote out the Radical Republicans in the state legislature.[50] << (Wiki)

>> After the war he spoke in favor of civil and voting rights for the freed men, making him unpopular among his fellow Confederates. Yet, he proved effective helping develop a "New South" of business and industry. Beauregard was not at heart a supporter of slavery, nor did he really want to see the federal government destroyed. It was local loyalty to his home state Louisiana rather than to the federal government that swayed his decision to fight for the South. << --- New World Encyclopedia​

He wasn't either a slave owner or dealer. He was in the military his entire life.

Removing his statue seems counter productive.

seems DISGUSTING to me that people are blocked from mourning their dead.

Good for you for delving deeper than the MSM propaganda.

Because Democrat judges didn't like the man's French name, they crapped on an Italian early civil rights leader.

That's why we study history and can't forget it.

Nobody's "blocked" from mourning anything. They simply want to move a statue. That's it.

What the fuck are you yammering about now? What "Italian early civil rights leader"? What "Democrat judges"? Are you lost?

That's why we study history and can't forget it.

Then you're admitting your post 4 is bullshit.

I don't know (or care) what the MSM propaganda is; I'm interested in facts. As always.

Interesting guy. Was CEO of a local railroad that is now the historic St. Charles Streetcar line and invented a cable car system apparently still being used in San Francisco.
