A statue of racist Confederate general Albert Pike that volunteers toppled and burned in Washington, DC in 2020 has been reinstalled. Crews placed the bronze statue of the traitor in Judiciary Square on Saturday. Fencing and a sign surround the statue: "Area closed. Historic preservation work in progress." The Department of the Inferior bleated said the restoration complies with Dummkopf Trumpf's white supremacist directives. In June 2020, Samaritans used ropes to tear down the obscenity outside MPD HQ and on live TV they doused the statue in lighter fluid and set it ablaze. The Pike grotesquerie was dedicated in 1901 when white supremacists began constructing statues of Confederate generals to intimidate people of color as part of Jim Crow. In 1840 slaveowner Albert Pike offered a $50 reward for the return of a "good-looking" runaway slave named Rebecca: Bounty.
