Ohio town proclaims it will be a sanctuary city for statues removed from other locations
July 5, 2020 | Jon Dougherty

As cities around the country allow anarchists and Left-wing groups like Black Lives Matter to desecrate and destroy monuments to historical American figures, one town in Ohio is moving in a different direction.

On Saturday, Newton Falls City Manager David Lynch issued a “general amnesty” for historical figures, as well as declaring the town a “statuary sanctuary city.”

In addition, the July 4 proclamation notes that the town, located about 60 miles east of Cleveland, will accept all statues being taken down and removed, WKBN reported.

Lynch issued a general amnesty for George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, Ulysses S. Grant, Patrick Henry, Francis Scott Key, Theodore Roosevelt, and Christopher Columbus, “as represented by the statues of these great leaders.”

The document also states that the city is “volunteering to accept these statues that have been removed throughout the USA and place them in a location of honor in our community.”

Good move.

Now we need a southern town's declaration that it will be the new "sanctuary city" for former Confederate-associated statues...

I was thinking of offering our home as a statue sanctuary, but - sad to say - don't think we have enough space.

I was thinking that was what Trump had in mind when he set up that Hero's Garden thing... maybe not..

Hey, POTUS Donald Trump included MLK in his little garden, but not R.E. Lee.   Guess he prefers communist sympathizers.

3 Thumbs up.

One add.  This confederate park needs to have 24/7 armed security. 

And believe me, it would become a HUGE tourist attraction.  Enough pissed off Dixie loving folks would keep it continously busy, and proftiable.
