San Jose statue to be removed

The controversial Thomas Fallon statue, which stood in downtown San Jose for about 30 years, is finally coming down. On Tuesday, the city council unanimously approved to decommission the bronze structure that sat at the intersection of West Julian and West St. James streets. The statue depicts Captain Thomas Fallon holding the U.S. flag in his right hand in San Jose in 1846 -- on what was then Mexican land.
