The divisive Confederate monument, the focus of the deadly Unite the Right rally in 2017, was melted down in secret and will become a new piece of public art.

    Woopdie doo. Why did they have to cut it apart before dropping it in the crucible? Hope the new art project isn’t a literal piece of shit ala The Embrace.

      it needed to be broken down further to fit into the small furnace here.

      Also, why not take the opportunity to cut up a statue of a traitor.

        They couldn’t get a larger crucible? It really seems like it would take forever to melt down and entire god damn statue if the head didn’t even fit.

          You’ve made two comments here, of which neither is AMUSING, INTERESTING, OUTRAGEOUS, or PROFOUND, and both seem rather numbskully. This brings Rule 3 into play, and I bid you a pleasant adeau.

      I’m sorry, but … do you genuinely lack sufficient imagination to think of why they had to cut it apart, or are you just very clumsy with rhetoric?
