Joan of Arc statue in French Quarter tagged with 'Tear It Down' graffiti

OK, now they are just getting ridiculous.  She wasn't even a democrat.

Quote
The phrase "Tear it Down" was hastily sprayed in black paint across the base of the golden Joan of Arc statue on Decatur Street in the French Quarter sometime earlier this week. It has since been removed, with only the vaguest traces of the paint remaining......

    This further affirms why I left that city 28 years ago and moved back to Texas. Love Nawlins (what little I remember of my 3 year stay there, way to much time on Bourbon Street).

    Sure glad my Family left there 67 years ago (right before me).

She was a woman who stood up for her beliefs and excelled at a man's profession, which was likely part of the reason she paid so dearly for it. Rather than be held up as a Martyr (not just for The Almighty, but) for women's liberation, someone wants to pull her statue down, too.  If stupid really hurt, the screaming would be intolerable.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

She's in armor. On a horse. It's close enough for Antifa morons.
