Maybe the county seized the moment, the opportunity to get rid of it.
“It’s dangerous! Tear it down now!” (before anybody tries to stop us)
And being a relatively rural area of GA, the orange fencing and all that just didn’t happen. Redneck OSHA rules apply. :)

Sounds good, very good. Maybe even someone knew who done it....
Saw a TV interview with a town official who was most proud to claim that the local stone quarries provided a major percentage of the granite grave markers used nationally. Plus, apparently the granite used to construct the "Marker" itself.
If all that's true I'd pose an idle thought that local talent (perhaps someone right down the street) would have access to explosives/whatever as well as vast experience in using those means to take the thing down.
That also makes that rapid demolition merely a clean-up operation.
...finally, it could be instructive to find out the place where all that busted granite finally went. My bet is a nearby quarry and that most of the "Marker" has already been repurposed for grave stones.
