LOUISVILLE, Ky. – A judge in Louisville has given the city the go-ahead to remove an 1895 Confederate monument by dismissing a lawsuit that sought to keep it at its original site. In a written ruling, Jefferson Circuit Judge Judith McDonald-Burkman said the city had the right to remove the stone obelisk near the University of Louisville that was built as a tribute to dead Confederate soldiers. Mayor Greg Fischer has pledged to have the monument cleaned and moved to a new location, though that site has not been chosen. Burkman's ruling Thursday echoed her orders after a May 25 hearing over her restraining order that temporarily halted the statue's removal. The judge noted the historical significance of the century-old monument but wrote that it's also a divisive symbol in Louisville. "The monument is a public object that is respected by many in the community. It is also reviled by many," Burkman wrote. Calls and an email to attorney Thomas McAdam, who represents the Sons of Confederate Veterans, were not returned Monday. Burkman heard several hours of testimony during the May hearing from the monument's supporters, who argued that the city does not own it and that it could be damaged or crumble if it is removed. After the hearing, Burkman lifted the temporary restraining order that barred the city from removing the monument. Mayor Fischer and University of Louisville President James Ramsey have pledged to move the monument to "an appropriate historical venue in the near future." Until then, it would be put in storage. The statue was given to the city by the Kentucky Woman's Monument Association in 1895. It includes three bronze statues of Confederate soldiers and an inscription that says it is a "tribute to the rank and file of the armies of the South."
In storage. Bet it will never again see the light of day

Got that right. Eventually, someone will want to donate a site to put it back up and they will ask the city for it, and the city will refuse to release it saying the new location isn't good enough because people will still be able to see it.
They should just go ahead and pulverize the historical monument into oblivion, replete with the significance of book burning as in Nazi Germany.
LOL, I would bet that is the reality. There is no end to this BS !

Those that revile dead confederate soldiers don't really understand what they were fighting for.. The average confederate soldier was not fighting for slavery, -- they fought for the mistaken idea that the north was trying to ruin their economy/way of life. I had relatives on both sides of the civil war, and by wars end, I'd bet ALL of them would have agreed, ENDING SLAVERY WASN'T WORTH IT. -- Slavery would have died very rapidly in any case, due to the industrial revolution. Let the dead have their memorials. Let it lay.
include yourself in that congrats. you were right in the middle of it and funny as hell I still crack up at the "rescue mission to LP" talk about a serious butt kicking, they got
