Sooo … that decision to remove those Confederate monuments in New Orleans that was decided last month? Yeah … its not going over well. Not at all.
H&O Investments, the company that was hired to remove the monuments says it wants no part of the deal anymore; they’ve been receiving death threats.
Roy Maughan, a lawyer for the company, sent a letter earlier this week to the City of New Orleans saying they could not work on the project because they have received death threats and other nasty messages via phone and thru social media. Maughan also says that some local businesses have also threatened to stop doing business with them if they go through with the project.
A court hearing in a lawsuit to stop the removal is scheduled for next week.
My, my. Such nastiness.
