lol

its a nice song though

Wait wait was Loretta Lynn a coalburner

Say it aint so please

I haven't heard that

Good

That's exactly what I needed to see

I would hope not

Nothing like a burning temple to brighten up a boring day

Hard to believe it's a Friday

I've only been home for a week

Where is home?

Central Illinois

Cool

been away for long?

Its always nice to be back in your own bed, etc

Not long enough

I see

I was on vacation last weekend

Got to see that Nathan Bedford Forrest monument in Memphis just a few days before they took it down

That was unfortunate

I remembered you saying they couldn't take it down

yeah because of state law

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

in secret

Is that even legal?

You can't sell private property can you?

I mean public

no it isn't legal

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

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

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

The question is even will they

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

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

I hope im wrong on that

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

Then let's hope they don't cuck

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