No, but the statues will be sacrificed because a bunch of alt-right creeps used them as an excuse to march to "Unite the Right". It is well past time to reject these fools - THAT's how you unite the right.
Oh, don't be so passive. Our fate, our reputations, is in our hands. REJECT the alt-right, without equivocation. Yes, there are fascists on both sides - our job is to reject the fascists that infect ours.
No, the statues will be sacrificed because they have been made the victim of the fables taught about the War of Northern Aggression, which have converted the visages of men who suffered and often lost all fighting for their country against the invading Northern Armies into symbols of racism and hatred.
Suppose only a few Sons of the Confederacy and Daughters of Confederate Veterans had showed up. Do you really think that the actions of Antifa/BLM would have been any less egregious?
If the Media hadn't had those alt-right idiots showing up, they would have had to hire some or use stock footage from elsewhere just to prove the people protesting the removal of the statue were "racists".
You can't convince me that everyone in the crowd there to protest the removal of the statues was affiliated with the alt-right groups which got the news images and video time, either. I firmly believe there was some media distortion going on, whatever the motive for those optics may be--but something which I suspect they were going to try to tie to the President in their ongoing war against the duly elected POTUS.
One demented assh*le running down people in the streets doesn't help either.
