Can they sue the City? There's some speculation that this is on private property - Didn't keep up with this particular statue. Portsmouth, VA is a crime ridden shithole.
In August 2017, in the wake of the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville Virginia where many white supremacist groups protested the removal of Confederate monuments,[5] mayor of Portsmouth John Rowe called for the movement of the monument from its current location. Mayor Rowe's proposed new site for the monument is nearby Cedar Grove Cemetery where many Confederate soldiers are buried.[6] Shortly after the mayor's announcement, a Change.org petition amassing over 30,000 signatures went viral started by a local Virginia man named Nathan Coflin to have the current monument replaced by a statue of Portsmouth native rap artist and businesswoman, Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott.[7] This petition received national attention in many publications such as Newsweek,[8] CNN,[9] People[10] and Time Magazine.[11] On June 10, 2020 the Confederate soldier statues were beheaded by sledgehammer and one was toppled by Black Lives Matter protesters as the Police Department watched[12]. During the toppling of the statue, a man was seriously injured when the statue fell on him[13].
And this is what happens when there is no LAW AND ORDER.
Portsmouth, VA just can't get out of their own way!
That's a she.
