Please tell me there isn’t a skeleton in the man’s closet. EVERYBODY with a statute is a target.

I mean he spent some time in Angola so I think he's safer than most considering we kept it up.

Nothing is safe.. It's not about race. It's about erasing everything that is America.

I'm relatively certain he wasn't a slave owner.

True, but was integral in beating Ole Miss, notoriously Confederate school. So Halloween night might save him.

Pretty sure felons are cool in their book if they meet the other criteria

Well his last name was used to shoot soldiers. So lets say they shot union soldiers who were fighting solely for the freedom of the black family. Hows that?
