text: Charlamagne killed those that refused to become Christian and probably killed his brother. There is statues all over Europe built 1000 years after his death. Let's get those removed and destroyed also! 
  Meanwhile, in Denver I cannot remodel my 90 year old house because of historic district. Uggg. 
  History is ugly, revolting, and unfair. 
  Those that do not know their history are doomed to repeat it. Let's try not to be so sensitive and learn from the tragedies that our country has endured, keep the statues. Use the monuments as a teaching tool for our children as to the folly of man. Or, just tell your kids it's a guy on a horse? Most statues are of somebody that killed a lot of people...
