D'oh ................... as long as it's the local government wanting to get rid of itThe park ranger spotted him kneeling in the bushes by the 112-year-old Confederate statue, explosives in hand.
Was he trying to harm the statue? she asked.
Yes, he said. He didn't like the guy.
The late-night confrontation at the statue of Confederate Lt. Dick Dowling — detailed in court records by a federal agent — led to the arrest of 25-year-old Andrew Schneck, setting off a two-day operation by law enforcement that forced the evacuation of the tony Rice University neighborhood where Schneck lives with his parents.

Oh, here's a few more 'Local Government actions'
1.) Columbus Monument Smashed in Baltimore, they even put out their own progaganda
2.) Durham Statue to the ‘Boys Who Wore Gray’ Toppled - again they got it on film
3.) Atlanta ‘Peace’ Monument Attacked
A mob in Atlanta attacked and damaged a monument constructed in 1911. The “Peace Monument” depicts a Confederate soldier laying down his arms. The memorial wasn’t devoted to the Confederacy. It was instead built to pay tribute to unity between North and South as the Civil War generation faded from memory.
4.) Lincoln Memorial Spray Painted - The Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., was defaced with spray paint.
The vandal, or vandals, painted the words “F— Law” on one of the stone columns that adorns the front of the structure.
5.) Abraham Lincoln Bust Vandalized in Chicago, Twice. A giant bust of Lincoln that had been sitting in a Chicago neighborhood for 100 years was burned and badly damaged.
6.) Father Junipero Serra Covered in Red Paint. A statue of Father Junipero Serra was plastered with red paint and the word “murder” in a Los Angeles park. Serra was a key figure in building a series of Spanish Catholic missions in California in the 1700s and was declared a saint by Pope Francis in 2015.
Let's cut the shit, these are not local governments. These are violent and intolerant people destroying things they are too stupid to understand.
