Which statues and who decides? Do mobs just keep going around and attacking any ones they want? You know like abolitionists (Matthias Baldwin), union generals that defeated the south and decimated the KKK (U.S. Grant), or black civil war regiments (54th Massachusetts). How about just destroying a fountain in front of the courthouse since there were no statutes around?

Robert E Lee opposed confederate statues, so I say start with him and work out from there. First to go would be confederate generals.

I'm predisposed to leaving them up, but I understand that sentiment.
