Monuments Vandalized in New Orleans by BLM Protesters
During a protest at four different historical monuments in the city of New Orleans, statues and monuments were vandalized with KKK hoods and blood.

The group that led the “Action Jackson” protest is TakeEmDownNola which is calling for the removal of what they perceive as “symbols of white supremacy,” which includes nearly every historical monument in the city.



Protesters claimed that the city spends thousands of dollars on the upkeep of the monuments. However, that money spent by the city to keep up the monuments has only come after Mayor Mitch Landrieu called for the removal of four historical monuments.

The Monumental Task Force, a local non-profit organization, has been taking care and keeping up all monuments in New Orleans for over a decade with no expense to the taxpayer.

As reported previously by the Hayride, though, the city may have purposefully spent thousands of dollars on the upkeep of the monuments just this year, only to later claim that the statues are a burden to taxpayers.

Additionally, the vandalizing of monuments in the city is something that New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) Chief Michael Harrison has cited for a reason to remove historical monuments in the city.

Re: Monuments Vandalized in New Orleans by BLM Protesters
To all BLM protesters: You aren't interested in freedom. And you really don't care about history or justice since you don't seem to spend any time actually researching either. The only thing you are advocating for, as far as I can tell, is to be the favored slaves among the lot of us suffering under the tyranny of the current system. If you can't get over the injustices of the past enough to see that the tyranny of the present is affecting all lives, not just black lives, than we can actually accomplish something together. Don't let the minority of racists that are hyper-sensationalized by the media confuse the issue for you and misguide your perfectly natural flame for freedom. We all have that flame, and we are all having it extinguished a little more every day.

These statues serve much more as a reminder of what we came from and not at all representative of what we still are. The vast majority of Americans want peace. Your actions, and the inaction of your peers...well...that's what terrorism looks like. If it is so for the Muslims, it is so for everyone who acts in kind. So please think before you act, and show the respect you claim to want from everyone else by being respectable yourselves. And that isn't to blacks or anyone in particular, but everyone who thinks this is a movement worth having. We have bigger things to worry about than the fabricated hatred that is spawning real hatred where there needn't be any at all. PEACE!

PS also please explain to me how covering one alleged symbol of white supremacy with another symbol of white supremacy improves matters any?
