A group of Paris, Tennessee residents said they had reason to believe that members of ANTIFA or Black Lives Matter wanted to tear down a statue of a Confederate soldier perched at their local courthouse square.
According to the U.S. Census numbers, Paris has slightly more than 10,000 people.
Local residents said a woman who grew up there, Rachel Allison, who now resides in Los Angeles, encourages people to remove the statue from a distance of 2,000 miles away.

ReplyDeleteRachel Allison, MYOFB.
ReplyDeleteShe's a busybody who will fit in perfectly in L.A.
DeleteWhatever happened to the concept of 'Live and Let Live'?
It's apparent the locals don't want or need Rachel Allison's "intervention." They obviously, collectively feel they can manage on their own.
ReplyDeleteRachel, if you want to do something productive, try fixing the problems of you new home state. There's plenty there to keep you busy.
yes, we can manage these idiots on our own thank you very much. There should be plenty to keep her busy in cali....she needs to keep her nose and such out of our business back here!
DeleteWe had something like that happen here in Tullahoma. Some young woman (I think she may be a doctor) who went to school here but lives elsewhere wants the name of Robert E. Lee Elementary School changed, because RACISM. Only problem is the school wasn't named after the general, but a former school administrator. I think she even went to this school and didn't know this. (I knew it back in the 60's when I went there). Anyway, there was much ridicule and derision among various citizens and someone finally educated her on the true origin of the name. As far as I know no effort has been made to change the name. Another incident occurred several years back when a black city councilman wanted the Confederate flags removed by the city from the local Confederate cemetery. The local SCVA chapter informed him that the was privately owned property, the city had no say in what flags were flown, and the flags would stay where they were. The matter was dropped.
