Do you support mother nature's destruction of this statue?


If only one good thing came of Hurricane Laura was the destruction of a controversial statue of a CONFEDERATE STATUE that was DESTROYED by mother nature just 2 weeks after local officials voted to KEEP it displayed in the public!!

The South's Defenders Monument was shattered to pieces while the pedestal holding it stood empty on the lawn of Calcasieu Parish Courthouse in Louisiana

It had stood there since 1915 with no disruptions and was the subject of dismantling from Black Lives Matters groups

They voted 10-4 to keep it there despite calls calling it a symbol of racism that glorifies slavery

Hurricane Laura however had other plans for it and destroyed it in minutes from the Category 4 hurricane

Parish officials took heat from voting to keep it but said they received several comments supporting the statue to remain

Resident, Gordon Simmons said "This is political insanity and the scrubbing of our history has to stop" who came from a family of confederate soldiers

Resident Lois Malveaux however called for its removal stating "being a black woman, the pain is real in my soul"

Do you support mother nature's destruction of this statue?.
