Confederate monument vandalized in Sylvania

[TexasTowelie]

An investigation into vandalism committed on a Confederate monument in the Screven Memorial Cemetery late Thursday in Sylvania continues as a reward has been offered.

The Sylvania Police Department, Screven County Sheriff’s Department and Georgia Bureau of Investigation are investigating the vandalism of a statue of a soldier that was found broken off from its base and located Friday morning broken into multiple pieces laying on the ground.

A local landscape company went to the Screven Memorial Cemetery on East Ogeechee Street on Friday for regular maintenance of the cemetery and discovered the Screven County Confederate Dead Monument virtually destroyed, according to a release from the City of Sylvania who oversees the cemetery.

The monument was intact when the same landscape company was at the cemetery on the Thursday evening, the release reads.

1. Because the Sylvania police have nothing better to do?

What a waste of time and effort.

Glad to see slave loving confederates everywhere are being challenged.

2. Anyone want to start a Gofundme for

it being replaced with one of General Sherman?


I didn't think so.

3. Desecration of monuments in a cemetery is

just wrong, regardless of the 'motivation' behind the desecration.

stuff for sale like this on their website so white wingers can display their hatred:
