I can’t believe this is still an ongoing saga.

Nice, I didn't think we'd see the statue toppling season again. Unless it was statues of black Americans...

I'm proud of my state making progress, though.

Lmao, I misread the title as "Crows begin removing Confederate statues" and I was both confused and intrigued. The actual article is much less interesting.

Hopefully North Carolina can be the next purple state to turn blue

Surprising the fat man hasn't sent ice goons to block the removal somehow.

At this stage I was half expecting the article body to explain that they were being removed in order to be polished and gilded.

Just smash them to bits and leave the pieces there.

I don't care that they lost (I mean I'm happy about it, but you don't have to win something to be worth of being remembered). I care about then being traitors fighting for slavery.

There are a lot of statues because they weren't just random memorials, but rather a coordinated effort by white supremacists.

Dude same. And I was really excited to learn how someone trained crows to take down statues. I’m incredibly disappointed.

So they should take down the Boudica statue in London? She is a famous loser. Or no more William Wallace statues?

Sometimes people don’t win, yet deserve to be memorialized. On the other hand some fought to be able to own people

Well we don't just want crackheads, we want crackbodies and cracklimbs and kinda crack all the things. We want to smash the statues, cracks are just the start.

At this point, I'd half-expect them to add a few more with some shity MAGA excuse.

Wishing the best for the Carolina who disagreed with the other Carolina enough to leave.
