Federal judge rules removal of a Confederate statue in Arlington Cemetery may proceed
The removal of the Confederate Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia may proceed, a federal judge ruled Tuesday, after finding groups who tried to halt it failed to prove that keeping the monument was in the public’s best interest.
US District Judge Ronnie D. Alston granted a temporary restraining order Monday, barring the memorial’s removal after a request for a preliminary injunction by the groups Defend Arlington and Save Southern Heritage Florida.
The groups claimed the Defense Department’s plan to remove the memorial violated the National Environmental Policy Act, and that the department had failed to take care of the grave sites surrounding the memorial site during the removal process.
But in an order filed Tuesday, Alston said the plaintiffs did “not establish that a preliminary injunction is in the public interest.”
“Plaintiffs’ complaints regarding the removal efforts being likely to damage the gravesites are misinformed or misleading,” the order said.
Melt it down and make it into toilets
Then install the toilets in the prisons where the Jam 6th insurrectionists are held so they're forced to piss and shit on their isola.
It's being moved to another Confederate memorial instead of being properly disposed of.
Thanks to confederate supporter Gov. Youngkin. smh. At least it'll be out of Arlington.
Maybe if those memorials can be legally classified as garbage dumps everyone will be satisfied.
Sewage disposal makes our entire modern world possible. Without it we would see a near total collapse of our urban areas.
I don't know if I want the traitorous statue to play such an integral role in upholding society.
I say just grind it into dust and dump it somewhere in the ocean so it can't ever be part of anything again.
