   The statue of Robert E. Lee that sparked the deadly Unite the Right rally four   
   years ago in Charlottesville, Va., will be removed Saturday, the city council   
   announced Friday.   
      
   Along with it, another statue of Confederate Gen. Stonewall Jackson that sits   
   nearby will also be removed, though the stone bases of both statues will remain   
   for now. Fencing around both monuments was set up Friday afternoon.   
      
   What will happen to the statues after they are removed, though, is still   
   unknown.   
      
   "City Council has the sole authority to determine the ultimate, final   
   disposition of the statues," the city said in a statement. "The City Manager is   
   not authorized to destroy the statues or to sell them without further action by   
   City Council."   
      
   The two statues will be stored in a secure location on city property until the   
   council makes a final decision, it said.

   Truly excellent.   
      
   As far as disposing of them, they should be barged 100 miles out into the   
   Atlantic and dumped.
