I gotta agree. These are people's graves. The fact they offend you doesn't give you the right to remove things from them. I think he should vacate his seat and offer a public apology. If this was a white councilman removing something symbolic from an african american man's grave Jesse Jackson and Al Sarpton and all of his cronies would be up in arms calling for his removal from office and that he be stoned in public. This should be no different
