| New Orleans' Joan of Arc Statue Vandalized With 'Take It Down' |
| 2017-08-19 |
| h/t Instapundit Another day, yet another statue of a military hero is reportedly under fire. This figure astride a horse was vandalized with the spray-painted words "Tear It Down." Who was this historical figure? General Lee? Stonewall Jackson? Nathan Bedford Forrest? No, this was a figure who hails from the north. Of France: The phrase "Tear it Down" was hastily sprayed in black paint across the base of the golden Joan of Arc statue on Decatur Street in the French Quarter sometime earlier this week. It has since been removed, with only the vaguest traces of the paint remaining. |

| #4 I believe this occurred a few months ago, maybe when New Orleans was removing its Confederate statues. I'm suspicious this vandalism was actually trolling, and not ignorance about the statue. |
