Vandalism yesterday also included a NOOSE-rope left on the soldier's neck -- an apparent attempt to pull it DOWN!!!
I SUPPORT its removal, but it MUST be done LEGALLY by Act of City Council -- and vandals should ALWAYS be apprehended.
Episcopalian Sycophant, Betty (Price) Kenan of Durham, and Thomas S. Kenan III of Chapel Hill
The Confederate Mace, ONLY retired by the Episcopal Church USA in 2005, and ONLY because of "Political Correctness" is the SYMBOL of the Episcopal Church's Authority under God on Earth.
A few years after it was RETIRED several lawyer alumni of Sewanee/The University of the South living in Birmingham, AL contacted me after seeing this blog, to say that Rt. Rev. J. Neil Alexander, then Arch-Bishop of Atlanta and titular Head of Sewanee, was using the proceeds of Tennessee Williams's estate, renamed the Walter Dakin Fund, to COVER for the fact that so many alumni STOPPED DONATING because they were ENRAGED that the Episcopal Church had to STOP promoting the RESURRECTION OF THE CONFEDERACY!!!
And then just when Bishop Michael Curry, Bishop of North Carolina, was elected HEAD PRELATE of the Episcopal Church, USA, the Anglican Communion in England voted to BAR the Episcopal Church USA from voting with them for THREE YEARS -- because of the American Church's CRIMES -- and that is STILL IN FORCE!!!
Michael Curry at the moment of his election (WHERE does that leave Racists Tom and Betty Kenan???)
Confederate Statue removal was DISCUSSED by City Officials who claim a North Carolina Law FORBIDS any city to remove Confederate statues and memorials -- yet Gov. Cooper has now CALLED for them all to be removed. Perhaps it will take a PRONOUNCEMENT from the Governor -- or Act of the NC Legislature.
AMAZINGLY, the Port City Daily STOPPED blocking me from leaving comments on ANYTHING, and I successfully posted TWO this morning (and later added a NEW comment from a woman who REFUSES to properly identify herself -- COWARD!!! -- and my reaction to it)!!!:

Everyone defending the RACIST PAST of Wilmington and Christianity here should be put under electronic surveillance IMMEDIATELY as likely TRAITORS. My great-grandfather Murphy Kenan had his big toe shot off defending the South at Malvern Hill in Virginia -- but had bought and immediately FREED two slaves, as he never believed in slavery.
(These people) THANK GOD that my Kenan Family that put Trump into power (Tillerson a lifelong employee of my family, and Vladimir Putin a TOP Kenan Family Ally), to profit from Russia's Oil and to DESTROY the US Constitution and replace it with Swastikas and Klan Robes, like nearly ALL the people commenting on this thread SUPPORT for JESUS CHRIST THEIR DEVIL-LORD!!!
I AGREE that the law-breakers who did this should be apprehended and punished. Their REMOVAL needs to be done by act of City Council. Perhaps the Kenan Family will fund a nice park for these statues -- elsewhere.
Scott kenan, you speak as someone who is filled with anger and hatred at a past you can not physically erase. You can change your hair or your physical outward appearance, but you can not change history. You need mental health intervention so you can come to find peace with your inner devils that plague you. In the mean time, leave the rest of us out of it.

Helen Barnhill Chiverton: WHAT Devil do YOU worship??? I checked your profile and you have NO LOCATION, NO FACEBOOK FRIENDS, Age, etc. Fewer than HALF the people commenting on this thread are actually from Wilmingon -- the others have no actual RIGHT to discuss for consideration what Wilmingtonians decide about our statues.
Now, had you searched my Facebook Profile, like I have yours, you would know I work DIRECTLY with Congressman Joe Kennedy III of MA -- I having known most of JFK's family, Jackie Onassis even better, and Ronald and Nancy Reagan -- as well as with Senators Burr and Tillis.
D.A. Ben David, a LEADING WHITE SUPPREMACIST and NARCO-TRAFFICKER (and Elder at First Presbyterian, where THEN Elder William R. Kenan, SENIOR, LED the 1898 Wilmington Insurrection). You or anyone is ALLOWED TO LOVE murdering Jesus-and-God-Haters who are FAKE CHRISTIANS (God is Love, from John in his Gospel) -- but to YOU PEOPLE God is only hate and drug addiction, which INVARIABLY leads to prostitution and desparate addiction. Pity.

Please save our statues...
·
I agree with you Brenda. Please let them save all of the statues.
·
For every confederate statue that remains, there should be erected, right next to it, on PUBLIC land, and with PUBLIC dollars, a statue that memorializes the adolescent slave girls that were raped and impregnated by their owners, and one of a slave child being whipped and abused, and a statue of children being traded and SOLD away from their parents, and replicas of the barbaric slave ships, etc.
THAT would be far more representative of what the confederacy fought for.
If the people want to glorify and lay claim to this horrible "heritage", they must expose all of it. Anything else is dishonest.

Patricia Sanchez Webb That's quite a sick image you've thought up.
·
Patricia Sanchez Webb we all had people that came here on slave ships.We must preserve history at all costs for that is what makes a great city. Culture and history go hand in hand to make each city individual and appart from all the rest.You can not move on and have diversity if you leave part of the diversity out.You can not have peace and unity and at the same time divide and tear down one part. That time period was long ago we cannot change it and hiding it or lieing about it serves no one and neither does constantly stirring the pot

Christopher M. Nance What hateful FOOL thinks that Patricia Sanchez Webb's "sick image" is a figment of her imagination??? It was the reality that my Kenan Family that totally endowed First Presbyterian that is right by it -- and caused the 1898 Wilmington Insurrection, the most HATEFUL event in US History -- supported THEN, and supports NOW.
LOOK at the public record of my cousin Thomas S. Kenan III's Political Donations (including to Donald Trump), or call his office in Chapel Hill: (919) 967-0618 and follow the prompts, but I believe Ext. 1 is Tom and 2 is Steve Armstrong, his top assistant. Ask THEM what they think!!! Gov. Cooper has ALREADY called for the removal of Confederate Statues.
Can the stoplight cameras � pick up any info as to the perpetrators? I think I would install some cameras nearby and keep them rolling for 24:7. Then I would add motion detector lighting all around the statues! Stupid people do stupid $hi@!
I knew it was coming! Wilmington's tourism is based on It's beaches and its Historical greatness! This must STOP....
It may take a police presence to protect the history, or armed patriots!

Richard Chenoweth I think that's a great idea. If you have gun traning and say a NC CC permit maybe some real AMERICANS can stand guard and preserve our history ! Oh lock these people up,or what ever you want to call them.And give them about year in prison with NO free passes !
Those that want to pretend history can be erased by taking down monuments, think about this and educate yourselves before you call yourselves Patriots.
Confederate soldiers ,sailors, and Marines that fought in the Civil war were made U.S. Veterans by an act of Congress in in 1957, U.S. Public Law 85-425, Sec 410, Approved 23 May, 1958. This made all Confederate Army/ Navy/ Marine Veterans equal to U.S. Veterans. Additionally, under U.S. Public Law 810, Approved by the 17th Congress on 26 Feb 1929 the War Department was directed to erect headstones and recognize Confederate grave sites as U.S. War dead grave sites. Just for the record the last Confederate veteran died in 1958. So, in essence, when you remove a Confederate statue, monument or headstone, you are in fact, removing a statue, monument or head stone of a U.S. VETERAN.
This has been TOTALLY DEBUNKED as a CHRISTIAN/NAZI LIE -- many YEARS ago!!! ~ Scott See Jim Gallagher's link below:
·
Find and arrest them. They broke the law.
·
Maybe we should just put new plaques up. History is good when we learn from it, not just admire it. Some anti racist information...
·
Find these low ife types and lock them up ! Let's stand together to perserve our Southern heritage !
·
The one on Market is related to me, tearing these down will not change a thing, it will always be something until the white race is gone, and that's happening as we speak.
ENOUGH for now!!!
