If Lexington’s City Council and the Kentucky Military Heritage Commission give their approval, the statues would be placed in a nearby park honoring veterans, Gray said.

So what, this is what white supremacists got their panties in a bunch over? Because some mayor wanted to move their shitty little hunk of bronze five fucking feet next to a nearby pond?

Where's the god damn face-palm smiley when you need it?!

It's actually kind of amusing the way the article suggests they just want to move it to where tourists can't see it, as if they're ashamed of it, just not enough to toss it out.

It'll be closer to five miles than five feet.

We can't just melt them down because the city doesn't actually own them, or something like that.

All fanatic protests are a waste of time.

It's not that the statue will simply be moved. It's that a symbol of white power is being demoted. That's why all the outrage.
