Baltimore considers Confederate monument removal ‘in the footsteps of New Orleans’: report

NOLA – by Chelsea Brasted

Baltimore could be the next city to remove Confederate monuments from public view, according to The Baltimore Sun.

Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh told the newspaper she’s looking into what it would take to remove the Confederate symbols, a move that was first considered by the city’s former mayor, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, who left office in 2016.   

“The city does want to remove these,” Pugh said. “We will take a closer look at how we go about following in the footsteps of New Orleans.”

It wasn’t exactly clear which of the city’s Confederate monuments would be up for removal, but a commission appointed by Rawlings-Blake reviewed five specific monuments, including a statue of Robert E. Lee.

In New Orleans, a statue of Lee was the last of four monuments removed in about a month’s span.

If and when Baltimore does remove its Confederate monuments, Pugh floated the idea of selling the statues as a way to help pay for the cost of their removal.

“You name it, we’ve tackled it. This is another one of those things that we will tackle as well,” Pugh said. “New Orleans has taken on this issue. It costs about $200,000 a statute to tear them down. … Maybe we can auction them?”

  1. Baltimore and new Orleans are both over run with communist blacks that were raised to believe that the war of northern aggression was about slavery….

  2. Alabama said they made it a law
    That this can’t be done without charges filed

    Maybe all these Sourhern Heritage monuments
    Should be accepted by people that respect them and will keep this history

    There’s going to come a day of put up or shut up
    And it will be Just

  3. They are working hard to get someone, ANYONE…to do something violent against this atrocity of removing our history in front of our eyes..

    just keep taking names and numbers folks, when it gets real, we will seek justice against all of those who participated in events such as this, firstly and foremostly the people will bring to justice those that issued the commands to do these things, then the individuals who physically removed these things will be brought to the peoples justice.

    Is is righteous, it is just…but if we can’t assemble in a critical of mass of people in the streets to stop this, and I’m assuming this is cause most folks know that it doesn’t matter anymore and are taking all efforts to prepare for what we know is coming… at least we can document all those involved in such things and other acts of overt provocation. ..

  4. “Just keep taking names and numbers folks” Yeah……that’ll show em! I’m sure the Communist JEWS and their Negro allies will be shaking in their boots! I’LL SHOUT STOP! STOP! OR I’LL SHOUT STOP AGAIN! The FAG “militia” LOL! You guys make me want to puke!

    1. You ARE puke. Please advise US, meaning United States as well as WE the People, should address this? Love to hear your answer and if you THINK anyone here is dumb enough to advertise an appropriate direct response to such a question, feel free. You’re a kike or a fed, which is BOTH.

      FAGGOT.

      Start your G’d race war and get this show on the road then, faggot, so REAL Americans can use your useless f’g corpse for something better than while it had oxygen in it.

      You’re white so you’re elite? I am too, but I am smart enough to know when I am being used as a tool for the filthy kikes. You’re a nigger to them. Plain and simple, and if you aren’t a kike, you’re a thing and ONLY a thing. Don’t give yourself too much credit.
