I’ll be unhappy to see Johnny Reb go. Norfolk will be Norfolk a little less in my view.

I don’t have any strong feelings about that monument, or any other, but the timing argument is a sham, When the original law was passed, cities were not independent from counties.
What Herring and the Norfolk CA are doing is to simply tell the court they won’t enforce the law because it is not politically expedient to do so.
The Rule of Law is dying in Virginia.

Yep, that is exactly what is happening. The attorney general of the state not upholding the law or choosing which ones to enforce or not is beyond disgraceful and despicable. Makes you want to “accidentally” pee on his shoes.

The appropriate response to these mass produced concrete Confederate statutes and monuments would be to commission sculptures and statues depicting the sale or torture of slaves and the lynchings from the Jim Crow era of black Americans, and place them on private land as close to these Confederate abominations as is possible.
Of course, you would incur the reoccurring expense of repairs and surveillance.
