a decent chunk of twitter. trey, mir and to a lesser extent you are doing a half-hearted effort here.
If you took me saying that I think the statues are largely irrelevant as a defense of people taking them down, I'd have to question what the hell you're reading. I've never even addressed what I think about the act. Shall I propose people pulling down statues be hung?
For the record I think that individuals pulling down statues, whether they Nathan Bedford Forrest or Martin Luther King Jr, are guilty of a crime, and I wouldn't shed a tear if any of them got convicted. The governments and individual institutions who put them up should face the pressure of defending having them up. Pulling them down without accountability for those responsible for them continuing to have them up accomplishes nothing.
Thank you for asking though, sys, always appreciate speaking to you way up there on that high horse.
