Stolen Confederate Monument Ensnared in Toilet Ransom Threat
On March 20, a frantic Facebook post began circulating on Selma, Alabama Facebook pages.
“Have you seen this chair??” the post asked. “STOLEN between 12 noon and 5 pm Friday 3/19 in Broad Daylight from Confederate Circle in Selma’s Live Oak Cemetery. Would require 3-4 men to load.”
Over several days, the post was updated to offer ever-greater rewards for the chair’s return. Finally, after offering a $5,000 reward on Monday, the post was updated again.
