I remembered you saying they couldn't take it down

2017-12-22 21:32:16 UTC  

yeah because of state law

2017-12-22 21:32:51 UTC  

so they sold the whole park to a shell corporation set up a month ago and run by one of the County Commissioners, for $1000

2017-12-22 21:32:57 UTC  

in secret

2017-12-22 21:33:24 UTC  

Is that even legal?

2017-12-22 21:33:35 UTC  

You can't sell private property can you?

2017-12-22 21:33:41 UTC  

I mean public

2017-12-22 21:34:53 UTC  

no it isn't legal

2017-12-22 21:36:03 UTC  

They broke a bunch of laws, including sunshine laws requiring public meetings for selling property,no Environmental Impact study was done, and Conflict of Interest laws because they sold it below market value to a company owned by one of the commissioners who voted for it

2017-12-22 21:36:34 UTC  

The state government will file suit and the courts will smack Memphis down, probably fines and punitive damages

2017-12-22 21:36:59 UTC  

They may or may not be able to invalidate the sale and put the statue back, I'm not a lawyer

2017-12-22 21:38:43 UTC  

The question is even will they

2017-12-22 21:38:59 UTC  

The funny thing about laws is that they don't enforce themselves

2017-12-22 21:39:13 UTC  

Call it blackpilled, but my guess is that nothing will get done

2017-12-22 21:39:22 UTC  

I hope im wrong on that

2017-12-22 21:39:46 UTC  

The state government is the one that made that law specifically to stop Memphis from taking the statue down

2017-12-22 21:40:29 UTC  

Then let's hope they don't cuck

2017-12-22 21:40:32 UTC  

Morality of the statue aside, state governments don't like the precedent set when cities overrule them

2017-12-22 21:40:58 UTC  

It's bad optics

2017-12-22 21:41:09 UTC  

My thought is that these people knew the laws were in place, and wouldn't have gone through unless they were fairly certain there wouldn't be punishment

2017-12-22 21:41:36 UTC  

Or they're willing to accept the punishment for the good optics

2017-12-22 21:41:54 UTC  

They've been battling the state on it for 2 years

2017-12-22 21:42:37 UTC  

I saw multiple lawyers being consulted by news orgs. All of them said it was illegal

Lmao

2017-12-22 21:44:18 UTC  

Do we have any sculptors in the movement?

2017-12-22 21:45:35 UTC  

Let's put a Heimstroll statue in it's place

2017-12-22 21:46:10 UTC
