Crews could be seen working to remove three Confederate-linked statues from Virginia's Capitol Square on Friday morning after a state senator introduced legislation to remove them earlier this year.

    At this stage I was half expecting the article body to explain that they were being removed in order to be polished and gilded.

    Surprising the fat man hasn’t sent ice goons to block the removal somehow.

    I can’t believe this is still an ongoing saga.

      I’m proud of my state making progress, though.

    Lmao, I misread the title as “Crows begin removing Confederate statues” and I was both confused and intrigued. The actual article is much less interesting.

      I don’t care that they lost (I mean I’m happy about it, but you don’t have to win something to be worth of being remembered). I care about then being traitors fighting for slavery.

    Nice, I didn’t think we’d see the statue toppling season again. Unless it was statues of black Americans…
