Erasing history for racial and political gain. Hitler was good at that.

If we removed everything that offends people, there would be nothing and no one left.

It's part of history. Removing it does not mean it didn't happen. Grow up people and stop trying to change the past, you can not do it.

True, who is leading this movement? Whoever it is thinks very differently about their ancestors and history. I can’t believe that people of government are allowing this kind of thing to happen. The answer to the problem is not in a statue.

The idea of removing a statue is stupid. The Confederacy is a part of our history, and if we erase a part of it, then we're more likely to repeat it. People get offended too easily and need to suck it up and not be offended by inanimate objects or what they stand for.

how about using the statue as a teaching moment? Trying to erase the visual reminders of our actual past changes nothing. I see this as another example of one group trying to control the narrative to silence people who don't see things the same way.

No its wrong to do so. Because it's part of our history how states evolved. If your gonna get rid of the statues then you need to rewrite the history books . Teachers teach it in schools are they gonna start not teaching bout slavery? If you remove the statues then you might as well remove all .

Whatever it takes. I'll support federal law enforcement efforts to clean up CoMo's crime problem as well.

Absolutely no reason for Military or ICE in MO or any state. Local law enforcement is present if needed.. Militant force against citizens in this country is unconstitutional. Another step to control citizens,further project 2025 and intimidate us and thwart 2025 and 2026 elections.

Inappropriate use of our talented national guard personnel. Local trouble is what we have local police for. Zaos, what if this was the zeitgeist when your ancestors arrived in this great land?

They are incompetent and don't need to stir the pot. They and ICE need to leave us alone. I'm tired of chaos and tired of us blaming the immigrants, when in reality, it's our fault for the slow process.

We should not be using military personnel on US soil unless ABSOLUTELY necessary (uncontrollable rioting, etc) This is about politics, not safety.

Do we really need the national guard to protect federal agents? This is a blatant abuse of American resources to support a xenophobic crackdown of our communities.
