There is no comparison to the REMOVAL of a modern-age statue and the DESTRUCTION of two statues of architectural historic significance.

How people feel about heroes who stand for something they honor or a time they honor is not based in years. I wonder how some would feel about taking down honoring pictures of Ruth Bader Ginsberg. It is all how we each look at things. Some treasure the aura of the old south. We all love certain eras and places and people in the U.S.
