I have no problem with removing the statues and monuments. They do celebrate the wrong side. However, it is wrong for mobs to destroy them as if it is a Nazi book burning Berlin 1938. They are no better from the mobs who marched with lit torches, as if it is a Nazi rally in Berlin 1938. Removing public property like the statute requires a vote, plebiscite referendum or voter initiative. Do the right thing, but do it the right way.
