The site of the first fighting in The Civil War.
South Carolinians have tried to deface that fort before, if I recall.
String him up!
Yeah but it was the New Ironsides that demolished it.
LOL!..............That was a long time ago..............
Too bad the New Orleans City Council didn't vote to approve this man's actions.

“Destroying any part of Fort Sumter brick is like literally erasing a page from the history of the United States.”
Gee, he should probably tell that to the NO people.
New Orleans is at present ripping down historical statues. So this guy tried destroying Sumter without Council Approval.
I made nearly the same point in my post, lol.
Good. What is it with people these days?

Guy sounds like an idiot. What was his motive?
He’s 21.....Was probably 20 then................
Punishment should fit the crime— This is outrageous. 12 years in prison and >$250k in fines is more than most murderers get, and these days who even knows if there was criminal intent. Was he actually trying to tear down the wall, or just doing something stupid like climbing on it, or doing a pull up, or just goofing off like 20 year olds do.
“?” is right. I thought what I was referencing was pretty obvious.
Probably a souvenir..............
He could be running a multi-million dollar NGO "Foundation" now, instead of looking at a decade or more in the pokey... 😀
I was curious to get more information, and looked him up to see if I could find any more facts.
I think his dad? is Mike Sigalas, some sort of Civil War historian who did a scholarly piece on Vicksburg.
Young Nick contributed some pictures to the Vicksburg piece.
Think there's more here than meets the eye...
