With supporters like these, Confederate monuments don't need enemies

John Steiner of Meridian Mississippi made a threat to kill officials in New Orleans to stop the removal of Confederate monuments. He also had this to say according to the article:

Steiner reportedly stated that "the only thing that would stop all this nonsense is that all coons had to die," according to arrest records. Steiner claimed that he would be coming to stand in front of the monuments with his guns and would shoot anyone who would stop him, according to arrest records.

I can't but think that John Steiner's statements will be an incentive to remove other statues. There will be those who would love to get racists to make fools of themselves and land themselves in jail.

Another story on John Steiner.
