Must See video at story link!! Lot's of chimping and shenanigans!!

SELMA, AL (WSFA) - Renewed protests over a controversial monument. And this time, protestors say they're ready to go to jail.

The protestors are opposed to a bust going up in a Selma cemetery.

It's a bust of Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest, who they say was also a violent racist responsible for killing people.

This is the second time supporters have wanted to put up the bust.

The first time, it was stolen.

"I'm ready to march right now. I'm ready to march right now. Ain't nothing wrong with going to jail because we're marching for freedom!" says Charles Steele, Jr. with the Southern Christian Leadership Conference

For months now, this statue inside Live Oak cemetery has caused quite the stir among those who support it and those who don't.

"We will complete this monument," says Patricia Godwin, President of the United Daughters of the Confederacy.

"The Jews would not tolerate a monument to a Nazi. And neither should we. We're not gonna tolerate it," adds Steele.

Many protesters say General Nathan Bedford Forrest was a domestic terrorist--claiming his Ku Klux Klan involvement makes him responsible for the deaths of many African Americans following the Civil War.

"This individual is the equivalent of Osama Bin Laden," says one protester.

But not everyone agrees the reconstruction of this monument should even be debated.

"It's an enhancement project. And this has been going on since 1868--enhancing Confederate Memorial Circle," adds Godwin.

She says her group--the United Daughters of the Confederacy own the land where the statue stands.

She and fellow members are simply trying to restore the statue after they say someone stole the bust a while ago.

"We had no other recourse but to start plans to secure the replacement bust that we're going to replace the stolen bust with."

"We are going to stop it. We're gonna use every legal means to stop it. We're gonna use direct action," says Tavis Grant, a protester.

Protesters asked the City of Selma to get involved and halt the construction. But because Confederate Circle is privately owned, city officials opted to stay out of the situation.


Poster Comment:

Niggers steal a bust of General Forrest out of a privately-owned cemetary and protest when land-owners want to replace it. Sometimes it's hard to believe that Lincoln fought the Civil War to free the human farm implements ;-)

"This individual is the equivalent of Osama Bin Laden," says one protester.

This moron is correct in spite of himself.

Both wanted fedgov out of their States.

Beyond that, the similarities peter-out rapidly.

Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest

He was a crazed psychotic lunatic.

He was no Robert E. Lee.

I sense a disturbance in the farce. Much gnashing will ensue.

Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest, born in a bed in Tennessee, died in a bed in Tennessee, buried in Tennessee, is getting a bust in Selma primarily because he is considered a founder of the KKK. I am not surprised that so many people think it's a bad thing.

Property rights trump the butt hurt feelings of Africoons. They can go back to Afreaka! if they don't like it, they have no legal or moral recourse to stop people from putting up the bust in the General's likeness.

Imagine the chimping if White people demanded that MLK be removed from street signs across America because he was a plagiarizing, philandering, woman-beater??

“With the exception of Whites, the rule among the peoples of the world, whether residing in their homelands or settled in Western democracies, is ethnocentrism and moral particularism: they stick together and good means what is good for their ethnic group."

Why's that?
