Seriously?? The hero of New Orleans and a President revered by the people of his time? The man who coined the phrase describing the White House as "The People's House"?. Certainly not "offensive" then and only "offensive" to some today due to ignorance of history or outright denial of it. One cannot apply today's culture to the culture of the 1800's.
Well said.

Just leave the da** statues alone. If it ain't your property, you have no right to damage it in any way. Apparently, some folks did not teach their children any respect for other folks property or beliefs. Get your noses out of everyone else's business and learn to make yourselves a better person. Either that or just plain mind your own business and keep it to yourself. Too bad everyone does not carry guns openly. Guarantee that folks would keep their business to themselves and learn some manners.

Eventually a Harriet Tubman statue will replace Jackson. You can bet twenty dollars on it.
