In the first 48 hours of public comment on three Confederate statues outside the North Carolina capitol, more than 2,000 people offered their opinions through a state website.
Gov. Roy Cooper proposed removing the memorials from the capitol grounds in Downtown Raleigh while State lawmakers have argued over the legality of moving the monuments. According to a law made in 2015, Confederate memorials can only be moved in cases involving public safety concerns. Cooper sought the insight of the North Carolina Historical Commission, which decided in the fall to postpone a decision until April. The plan was to accept public input, and at a meeting on January 22, the committee opted to launch a website on January 29 for online submissions.

We need to use this as an opportunity to politely remind the State of North Carolina that they do not have the legal ability to remove the statues. Jake Sullivan provided a statement on behalf of the NCSCV which said that the qualification of a monument for putting public safety at risk means the physical condition of the monument creates a danger to people nearby.
Public safety does not come into play when there is a threat of a mob, and the government should not give in to a mob.
So we "are asking our readers and the members of the general public to register their disgust with Governor Cooper and the Historical Commission via the public comment portal.
The Historical Commission has not set a deadline for people to complete their online submissions. There will be at least one public forum where people can voice their opinions in person, but the committee has not set a date.
All I saw when going to the site was suggestions on where to
ReplyDeleteremove the monuments to - that hasn't been decided if removal
is legal.
Cooper has the same faggot face as Graham. Go figure.
They postponed a decision to move or not and we are requested to mention that they do not have the legal authority to do so. Wouldn't hold my breath though.
DeleteYea, there's no law like no law. They better not give me a
ReplyDeletespeeding ticket because there is no law.

DeleteJerks!
ReplyDeleteRoy Cooper is a son-of-a-bitch that is "not my governor". There's evidence of voter fraud done during the election (see this video: Autopsy Of An Election: A Post-Mortem on the 2016 General Election Data in NC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQA2E3LXGvg . It looks like the communists behind this are the same ones messing with our memorials. They can stick their relocation proposals up their ass.
ReplyDeleteThanks and checking it out now.
DeleteOur supposed leaders in Maryland have permeated the MD Historic Trust with POLITICAL persons who disrespect history and the law. The Mayor of Baltimore believes she can circumvent the law to achieve the act of discrimination as she has verbally commanded that removing PROTECTED monuments be done. In some cases OWNERSHIP is in question. Baltimore at least, so far, has lost most of the injunctions that have been requested due to the discriminatory ignoring of laws that are in place. The NC, or Raleigh government must first ensure who owns the threatened statues. Why can't liberal haters pursue a monument honoring their Americans of the same period instead of dismantling a monument, probably in perpetuity, and continuing their cycle of hate? Thanks
