More than 50,000 people have signed a petition to replace Richmond, Virginia\u2019s statue of Robert E. Lee with a memorial to the late frontman of heavy metal band GWAR.<\/p>\n

\u201cRobert E. Lee is a failed war general<\/a> that supported a racist cause. For too long, the city of Richmond has been displaying statues of him and other loser civil war veterans,\u201d reads the Change.org petition, which had 50,247 signatures as of Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe the scumdogs of the universe call on the city of Richmond to erect a statue of great local leader Oderus Urungus in its place,\u201d it adds.<\/p>\n

Oderus Urungus, an intergalactic barbarian and the lead singer of GWAR, was portrayed by Richmond musician Dave Brockie, who started the band in 1984. He died in 2014 of a heroin overdose.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile Oderus comes from the planet Scumdogia, he called Richmond his home, working with the local art community and employing local artists and ladies of the night,\u201d the petition states.<\/p>\n

The band app<\/a>ears to support the petition, releasing a video of drummer Jizmak Da Gusha admiring the statue of the Confederate general \u2014 which was covered in graffiti during the last three weeks of Black Lives Matter protests.<\/p>\n

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam ordered the statue to be removed, but a lawsuit filed last week has put a wrench in the plans.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
