A statue of a Confederate general in Richmond, Virginia, was torn down late Saturday by protesters, just days after Gov. Ralph Northam (D-VA) announced he would remove a different Confederate statue in the state capital.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch reported that most protesters had left the area by the time the statue was toppled, but a few “using ropes pulled down a statue honoring Confederate Gen. Williams Carter Wickham, which has stood in the park since 1891.” After the statue was brought down, one protester reportedly urinated on it before running away.
