NOLA.com reports that yesterday's more-than-three-hours-long public hearing on what to do about New Orleans' confederate monuments included "shouting, jeers and even a few threats."

(By the way, according to the poll we took yesterday, most of you think that the Confederate monuments should stay. If you disagree, duke it out in the comments.)
