Since when do we have Civil War reenacments at the state house? Does Nikki know?

I mean I guess they could reenact the "siege" that put all those cannonball holes in the building, who knows.

Is this new? I don't remember this being a thing when I was a student. That's not me trying to dismiss this as a one time thing... I love the statehouse grounds and while it's kind of nerdy I used to like walking around there between classes just admiring shite...used to do it like once a week...but the stuff on the grounds doesn't paint the most endearing picture of the State. Of the pieces that I can remember there's one monument to African Americans, one to Law Enforcement, one to the Military and then like three or four to Confederate/Segregation figures.

Oh and Nikki is a tater, she don't know shite.
