Should the TSBD be demolished?

[Vincent Baxter]

I think it's just such a ridiculous concept that people aren't even bothering to entertain the idea.

You're suggesting demolishing a huge 8 floor building in Dallas which takes up approximately 80,000 feet of floor area and replacing it with a single statue of a man who was murdered 1000 miles away. I just don't see the link or the argument behind it. What are you hoping this will achieve?

I don't get the logic of destroying something so strongly linked with the assassination of JFK in order to replace it with a memorial of the George Floyd murder that happened well over half a decade century later. What's the link between the two? Just because JFK campaigned for civil rights?

Abraham Lincoln called for the abolishment of slavery so would you also suggest demolishing Ford Theatre and replacing that with a statue of George Floyd too?

Ridiculous concept. Erect a statue of George Floyd if you feel the need by all means, but to destroy such a significant part of American history to do so when there are millions of other locations to put it is just absurd.

George Floyd died a half a decade after JFK?

George Floyd died a half a decade after JFK?

Hah! Was meant to put Century (though "Well over half a decade" is technically still true as well as it was indeed "well over" 5 years but you know what I meant). But other than that obvious typo, the rest of post still stands

George Floyd died a half a decade after JFK?

FFS: He means half a century.

The first George Floyd statue is already here:

You missed out an important word in your reply to Rick's post, Richard.

"And you take issue with me criticising JFK while you defended  Owald  who "ALLEGEDLY"  murdered him."


Just to remind you, Oswald  was never tried for the crime,  no matter what you say.

Conspiracy believers - there are thousands of posts by them here and at the other conspiracy sites across the internet - regularly state that "LBJ killed Kennedy" or "Marina lied to the WC" or "Ruth Paine killed Oswald for the CIA" and on and on. Thousands and thousands of claims all of sorts of crimes by people who allegedly framed Oswald. For more than half a century.

Do you take exception to those claims even though they were never proven in court?

Besides, people make statements about historic figures committing crimes - Booth killed JFK Lincoln - that weren't proven in court. Everyone recognizes what is meant. The 9/11 hijackers were never convicted in court. Does that mean someone shouldn't say "Atta flew one of the planes into the tower"? Nixon was never convicted of a crime either. Nobody says Nixon didn't obstruct justice because he was never convicted of it. I won't use the silly Hitler example either.

Why you people have this bizarre need to protect Oswald's name while accusing others of worst crimes is one of the mysteries surrounding this event.
