Abrams calls for removal of Confederate faces off Stone Mountain

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams called for the removal of the giant carving that depicts three Confederate war leaders on the face of state-owned Stone Mountain, saying it “remains a blight on our state and should be removed.”
“We must never celebrate those who defended slavery and tried to destroy the union,” Abrams said in a series of tweets posted early Tuesday, a response to the deadly violence sparked by white supremacist groups in Charlottesville, Va.
Removing the faces of Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson would take a monster of a sandblaster and require a change in state law. The Georgia code has a clear mandate for the memorial, saying it should be “preserved and protected for all time as a tribute to the bravery and heroism of the citizens of this state who suffered and died in their cause.”
Lawmakers and civil rights groups have called for the removal of Confederate symbols at the memorial for years. After the 2015 shooting deaths of nine black worshipers by a white supremacist in Charleston, several legislators pushed for a boycott until Rebel flags at the site come down.

Georgia leaders have embraced recent changes to distance the state from its Rebel history.

At some point something is going to have to give, summer is winding down.

Or....they could LEARN from history and not repeat the same mistakes.

I know, I know. Crazy talk.

I don't know who that idiot Abrams is and he certainly wasn't a name from when I lived there; but Stone Mountain is the largest exposed piece of granite in the world and they better not fuck with the beautiful scene they put on that. What the fuck is wrong with people nowadays? Stone Mountain is so beautiful that often times Delta will flight path it so you can look out your right side windows and take pictures of it. It's every bit as important as Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, Mount Rushmore, etc. Man - these people nowadays are fucking fucked in the melon. There needs to be an armed protest before anyone was let near that with TNT.

The laser shows are epic. I lived about 45 minutes from SM from 1999 to 2011. That's one of the bright spots about Georgia. And the Aquarium is also a must-see. The owner of Home Depot supposedly sunk something like two hundred million bucks into helping make the aquarium.

Whats changed is that a minority are so offened by history that local governments are bowing to their desire.
If the government does not do what they are told, the minority will riot, kill police and take down the monuments themselves.
These SJWs are growing bolder by the day. They are realizing that if they threaten enough, their demands will be met.
I heard some pretty liberal people recently saying they thought this history erasing is horrifying.
The government does not fear the conservatives in this country. They know we will just go to work, raise our families and HOPE law and order will prevail.
My point is that the tension is growing and just may break the silence of the deplorables.
Just maybe enough will decide that the next monument removed will be over their dead bodies.
