Yeah, I am the drama queen...I never use idiotic terms like "tacitly support such treatment of prisoners", "lord it over younger individuals..." , "with virtual impunity". Comical at best....but hey, if it makes you feel better to keep taking the personal jabs; you go right ahead there scooter. Brow beaten....that is funny....did you get dictionary toilet paper for a present recently??? lol

I will add this too....it is unfortunate that Camp Morton could not be preserved in some way for the remains of those soldiers. It is also sad that the soldiers' remains were removed from Greenlawn Cemetery. If that marker stood in either of those spots; I am fine with that. There is but one connection to the marker and Garfield Park where is currently sets.

I agree we should not forget either. I also stated that I am fine with the memorial at Camp Douglas. I even added, there is significance to standing on the spot where those atrocities took place.

Huh???? lol So it IS a federal responsibility to control those police forces???

Get over yourself; you are such a drama queen...lol I never used the word celebrated. And, it's "no matter" lol Yes, by all means you can assume I tacitly support such treatment of POW's.....Geeeeeezuz; so dramatic. Unbelievable. He has not, but I would be fine with that. There is however a marker in Crown Hill Cemetery where the remains are buried; which is also fine, and in my mind appropriate.

As far as non confederacy monuments; it's a different discussion. They are not dedicated to those who committed treason. As with SOOOOO many discussions people have, or try to have with you on here; you just go round and round and round and round and round.....so boring. I have stated my points....don't like them? I don't care. Don't agree with them, fine. Move along.

If the content is the overreaching factor, then you are saying there is no need for the monument itself? You mean content like what can be found in a museum or in books??? As far as the riddle, why would it make a difference if it were union soldiers???? As far as Garfield Park, you are right, and I correct myself; it is not some random place. It was chosen by them because it was a highly visible place. That said, this spot is not related in any way to the monument placed there. If the monument were in the spot where Camp Morton was, fine; no issue with it being there. I do think there is significance to standing in the place where such events actually occurred.

Memorial to those who died at Camp Douglas.....placed where those soldiers were buried. And from Andersonville, GA, a National Historic Site; now part of the memorial dedicated to all American prisoners of war. https://www.nps.gov/ande/learn/index.htm The key is that both these monuments are in the place where they should be; not just some random place, especially a place chosen by the KKK. These are appropriate ways to remember what had happened. As stated, there is a marker to identify where the soldiers from Camp Morton are buried.

Let it go dude.....you made assumptions about what I posted and you were wrong in those assumptions, move on.

Hmmmm, I figured the opposite would be true. I have not seen a 9-11 conspiracy theorist say those things. That is just one example that comes to mind.

You left off two important pieces from that.......You even put those key points in bold print. I included the lines, "Not sure if it's true..." AND "I have yet to verify...". All I stated was that someone from there posted a comment; You took it to a whole new level. "understood"....that is funny.

Seriously; let it go dude. You assumed I quoted the article from NC that it was militia doing the destruction. You were wrong in that assumption. In fact you were so far from the truth; it would take days for you to reach the truth.....as you prove with your continual posts on the matter. The funny part is you keep putting in bold that I qualified my statement. Why is it so difficult to grasp the concept of "Not sure if it's true"? Or even "I have not verified..."?

Just cannot give over the fact that you were wrong here, huh? lol....funny you always retreat to stating what you think a moderator should be doing. My comment was not connected to the IMPD story in any way shape or form. Muda was posting about the abuses of power by the police; I posted a similar story from North Carolina. The comment I added was based on what someone had added from NC; nothing more, nothing less. You are the ONLY one to come to the conclusion you did.

I said NOTHING about the incident that Muda posted......Also, because you apparently DO have issues with reading comprehension, the first words you highlighted are critical to my entire statement. "Not sure if this is true...." Then I also added "I have not verified that..." You are the one who made the stretch that I somehow stated it was in the article, or somehow assumed I meant it was in the article.

This is hilarious....and sad. I did not state anything even close to that....wow. The article I posted showed police busting water bottles at an aid station. I then added that someone that lives in that area stated that there are militia dressed as police.

Here is an article explaining what antifa's role in the protests have been. It does include info about far right groups as well. https://www.trtworld.com/americas/what-s-antifa-and-its-role-in-black-lives-matter-protests-36922 Interesting quote from the article: " Twitter said it suspended two fake Antifa accounts, one of which was run by people with ties to a white supremacist group. There's also a growing presence of Boogalo Bois, a gun-toting, Hawaiian shirt-wearing anti-government group, often misrepresented as a straightforward white supremacist group, at the Black Lives Matter protests. They have been accused of fomenting some of the violence blamed on Antifa by the Trump administration. Boogalo Bois, or their other iterations, openly called for people to join them in raising militias against the Minneapolis police after the black man's death, Bellingcat reported." Good God man, can you not read???? I simply stated that someone from that area....maybe a facebook comment; maybe a friend that lives there stated it. Did not think it needed explaining that it was not part of the article. Geez, you are hilarious some times.

So, reading comprehension is not your strong suit, huh? lol Noticed I said that someone from that area stated it. I did not state it as a fact, just raised the point to ponder. Good to see you doing some research though.

For someone so adept at finding videos to state your opinions, I would think you could easily find this. This took 5 seconds. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/31/us/george-floyd-protests-white-supremacists-antifa.html This was just a couple links down from the previous one. https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2020-06-02/george-floyd-protest-violence-blame What was it you were saying about your opinions being right? And mine and others being wrong? lol

Oh, so you just have not been paying attention???? There is evidence out there; plenty of it, actually. But you took the time to blame the left only so often for the violence.

So you admit there is no evidence to the claims you make here? lol

Stay focused here...so, you just proved my point....that you have pointed the finger in one direction. You have not posted a thing that would show that you blame right wing extremists. I on the other hand, have stated multiple times there are extremists on each end of the spectrum that are stirring things up. I figure you keep posting with blame on the left, so I balance that. I never chimed in as far as the details of the Mueller investigation. The only thing I have challenged you on is that it is your belief that the only indictments should pertain to the investigation itself, and that the other crimes that warranted indictments, plea deals, and guilty verdicts should have been ignored. My challenge has been that in any investigation, if other criminal activity is discovered, charges are almost always filed for those additional crimes; even though they did not pertain to possible crimes being investigated.......and I get accused of lumping all people of a certain ilk into one category....lol I have been a skeptic of the Hydroxychloroquine use. BUT, there was a point where I did state, I really do hope it works. But at the time you started posted, the evidence was not conclusive. I have not seen anything that shows the drug is overwhelmingly effective. But go ahead and keep patting yourself on the back

You are going to use videos showing a few democrats blaming Russia to counter my point of you pointing the finger at just the left???? Maybe I am missing something. You are saying that you are pointing the finger at the right wing extremists as well for the violence during the protests?

Muda and his reading comprehension skills. lol

Great explanation fox....did you live in Virginia too? 😄

Then why refer to living in Virginia if you were not using it to add some level of credibility to what you posted? But you did claim in one sentence to know what the monuments were not meant to be, but the previous sentence you stated you had no idea what the intent was. lol......did the cider go hard on you? lol Never did I even attempt to paint all Southerners with one broad stroke. I was referring to those that get their panties in a wad over the removal of the statues, especially the ones that show up at the rallies with their confederate flags and nazi flags. I got a kick too out of the large font. You can backtrack all you want to, but your statement was I was way off on my claim. I just countered it. You sure don’t like being called out do you? Toppling statues equates to burning books.....yeah ok. That may be your funniest line yet. Nice stretch though. I think even Muda would be impressed with that reach. That comment actually leads to a point I made. There are museums dedicated to what has happened. There are thousands of books written about the events of that war. But oh my God, we cannot tear down the statues that glorify those individuals. I get the intent behind the monument in Indy. There actually is a monument where they are buried now, which is fine. They are not nor ever were buried in Garfield Park. The reason it is there is because of the klan......enough said. Again....plenty of details are written about them and what happened to them. Removal of the monument does not and will not erase that.
