Personally, I wouldn't object to him being moved to a Confederate Cemetery, and his statue towed out to sea on a leaky raft.

But, I don't live in Tennessee, so it's really none of my business.

is it any of yours?
 
racists gotta protect their heroes.
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.
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?
half right. it was passed in 2013 to protect confederates. so modern racists.


Not even close.

"It is effective as of April 1, 2013, and applies to any military item from the French and Indian War through the Mid-East wars, and all US wars in between, including the War Between the States."
it was introduced and passed by republicans when the memphis city council tried to change the name of parks honoring the confederacy, jefferson davis, and forrest.
that was the impetus. have to protect those heroes of the 'war between the states' as the law calls it.

they couldn't be too transparent in their efforts.
again, the law only exists because some republicans didn't want memphis to remove the names of traitors from city parks.
 
Yeah....right.....

They are protecting dead racist democrats.
 
i don't understand why republicans would support the law. it's big government, the state telling municipalities what they have to call their own property. isn't that better left to the people that live there?

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.


Oh it will be gone one way or another :badgrin:

Which is why, by the time it was passed, it covered ALL soldiers and monuments in history.

Go soak your head.
