200 armed Kentuckians Protected the Confederate monument in Brandenberg from BLM

Via Survivormann99“ Until a couple of years ago, a monument to Confederate war dead stood in a large traffic island adjacent to the University of Louisville campus for 120 years.

My old fraternity house was located on the adjacent street known at that time as Confederate Place. Due to some complaints to the effete, limp wrist, Democratic (sorry, repeating myself) mayor, the statue was ordered removed.

The small town of Brandenburg, Kentucky, came to the rescue, so the monument didn’t sit abandoned in some city storage yard until it “got lost.”

The monument was moved there at Brandenburg’s expense and was re-erected on a spot on the Ohio River. Black Lives Matter remembered the statue.

Yesterday, it made it known that they were coming after the statue. What they found when they got to Brandenburg were approximately 200 armed Kentuckians lined up to protect the monument. BLM decided that attacking that monument wasn’t worth opening that particular can of whoop-ass, so it turned tail and left.”
