Security cameras now watching confederate memorial at UNC (NC)

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (WTVD) -- The Silent Sam statue on UNC Chapel Hill campus was blindfolded once again as security cameras installed by the university looked on.

The statue is Confederate memorial to the UNC students who fought in the Civil War. A Confederate flag bandana was removed from the statue's eyes Tuesday morning. It was blindfolded in the same manner just last week ...

Young said the campus police don't have video of when the statue was spray painted for the second time due to a network interruption. There is video of the blindfolding incidents, but he said they are not investigating those acts as they're not considered vandalism ...

instead, take that ugly-ass statue and just melt it down.

Put up a memorial to remember the UNC students who died in ALL WARS, instead.

How hard is it to be inclusive?
