Next up, the intolerant left digs up all Confederate graves and toss the bones into the street. These people are deplorables.


Protesters with a Memphis religious groups took a shovel to Confederate Lt. Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/nathan-bedford-forrest/)’s grave and statue in a public park on Wednesday, in an act that many locals are calling vandalism.

“If he’s gone, some of this racism and race-hate might be gone,” Isaac Richmond, of the Commission on Religion and Racism, told (http://wreg.com/2015/07/22/group-takes-a-shovel-to-confederate-generals-grave/) a local CBS (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/cbs/) affiliate. “We got a fresh shovel full, and we hope that everybody else will follow suit and dig him up.”


The City Council voted to move the statue and the remains from Health Sciences Park, but the move requires the Tennessee Historical Commission to sign off, and it will also have to go before the Chancery Court, CBS (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/cbs/) reported.


The group only took a “symbolic” shovel full of grass next to the deceased general’s grave on Wednesday, but made it clear that they would consider taking more drastic measures if the political process took too long.


“We are going to bring the back hoe, the tractors and the men with the equipment to raise Bedford Forrest (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/nathan-bedford-forrest/) from the soil of Memphis,” Mr. Richmond (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/isaac-richmond/) said.


On Thursday, Scott Hudson (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/scott-hudson/) of Lincoln County drove several hours to plant new grass

When the law becomes lawless the people must mete out punishment. Find the perps. Hurt them.

For this sort of crime- not really completed, I would fine them and break their lifestyle. Let them realize poverty. That may be enough to prevent a full scale digging up of Civil War vets. The violent mob can be managed.

According to the Tennessee criminal code, that action falls under "Desecration of a Venerated Object" and is a Class A misdemeanor.

Class A misdemeanors: Not more than 11 months, 29 days in prison and up to $2,500 fine.

Make him serve every minute and pay every penny.

They're desperately trying to provoke so that when there's a fight back they can scream nazi. All the media in unison immediately runs with it and Trump is then asked to condemn. It's obviously the new tactic after the collapse of the Russia crap.

Trump is working with the Russians AND the Nazis in order to bring down America, or so I've been told.

The offense should be a felony.
