I am asking
Would you be ok with these statues in a museum?
NOT in town square
No. Why?

So it's in town or nothing for you then?
Seems to me like its not really 'erasing history' that you care about.
seems like you want these statues out in the open, on government property and in peoples faces.
So no compromise then
got it

If the concern with the statues is the preservation of history, it seems that the ideal place for them would be in a museum dedicated to that history.
Right?
Just as long as you are the one who gets to decide that.
Right?

And your idea of "compromise" is destroying them or removing them where they can't been seen.
So it's either threatening to destroy property or hide them.
THAT'S your idea of compromise.
We either do it your way, or you destroy them.

You just want them out in the open cause it makes people uncomfortable because it is an everyday reminder of a terrible time for them.
I missed the part where the Civil War was a wonderful time for anyone.

That's not Granby's argument, clearly.

My argument is common sense.
So DC
What do you lose by putting them in a museum?
