Backfire: Memphis City Council Finds Out TN Law Says Nathanel Bedford Forrest Can't Be Removed

[Steve_McGarrett]

According to Tennessee state law:

Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 46, Chapter 4, deals with the functions of disinterment, and requires not only justification for digging up long-buried bodies, but a judge’s approval as well.

According to the law, bodies may only be moved if a burial ground is found to have been abandoned, seriously neglected or somehow rendered “inconsistent with due and proper reverence or respect for the memory of the dead.”

In addition, Tennessee law protects all war memorials, regardless of war. “No statue, monument, memorial, nameplate, or plaque … located on public property, may be relocated, removed, altered, renamed, rededicated, or otherwise disturbed.”

“No statue, monument, memorial, nameplate, plaque, historic flag display, school, street, bridge, building, park, preserve, or reserve … erected for, or named or dedicated in honor of, any historical military figure, historical military event, military organization, or military unit, and is located on public property, may be renamed or rededicated.”


We now know that Forrest's remains and monument will be protected.

And why didnt anyone know this?

Because until 3 weeks ago...no one gave a fuck. No one even knew who this dead racist Democrat was.

Until....MSNBC told liberals they are now supposed to care.

Being the ghoul that you are, you absolutely know no boundaries of common decency.....

So now people who do not want to dig up historic war figures are racists?

I sure wish you fucks would learn the definitions and purposes of words.

i'll bet dollars to donuts the law was written to protect confederate memorials and enacted in the 60's.

The TN law can always be changed.

Why? Let the dead be dead, whereas a flag can be simply lowered.

I agree, why go to the trouble of changing laws just to move his remains...besides, if you leave him there then dogs will know where their pissing patch is.

Yeah....right.....

Why don't you go look up the history and debate that went with those laws and find out for sure; rather than make shit up?

I've been to 32, including Alaska and Hawaii, of the 50 states, and hope to someday see the rest.

Can't imagine why anyone that hasn't been to all 50, would want to go overseas.

(as well as 23 countries)
