RICHMOND — The Charlottesville City Council voted unanimously Monday night to remove statues of Confederate generals Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson from public parks, starting the clock ticking on the demise of monuments at the heart of the deadly "Unite the Right" rally in 2017.
...
“It’s past time for those things to come down,” community leader Don Gathers said. Like many other speakers, he urged the city to move quickly and not to send the statues to another community.

Many mentioned that when neighboring Albemarle County removed a statue of a Confederate soldier from its courthouse last summer, the figure was relocated to a Civil War battlefield in the Shenandoah Valley.

“If my trash ends up in a neighbor’s yard, it’s still trash,” Gathers said. “Those things are like the Bat-Signal for white supremacists.”

This is what I have been saying. Merely relocating them makes no sense. Behead them all.
