Next, someone should steal that horrid statue of Nathaniel Bedford Forrest and sell it for scrap metal. Make a profit and do a public service at the same time.
Bart did it, on a dare.
I hope all scrap dealers have been notified.

Amen WickedTribe Amen! that statue is much more than an eyesore it is offensive to most who see it.
Lol...LMAO!!! They "STOLE" this statue? How big was it? And it weighed howmuch? If people are STUPID enough to "NOT" see somebody STEELING this 6 foot statue that wieghs HUNDREDS of pounds, then the culprits won't have any problems hiding it right under police noses. All they have to do is blend it in with all the OTHER statues they have...they'll never notice!!! LMAO!!
Shall I post the picture on my facebook page so people will see what a 6 (six) foot statue looks like so "IF" they see it, they can laugh about it too?
