Contractor Hired To Remove Louisiana Confederate Monuments Finds His Lambo Burned To The Ground
Jalopnik ^ | 01/19/2016 | Jason Torchinsky

Just a few days ago, David Mahler had his contracting company quit the agreements with the state of Louisiana to remove Confederate monuments, citing death threats and threatening calls to his home. It seems like quitting wasn’t enough for some disturbed people, as his Lamborghini was found burned to the ground this morning.

TV station WDSU reports there’s almost nothing left of the $200,000 Lamborghini Huracan, just four, tire-less wheels surrounding a pile of ash and some surprisingly durable seat frames.

Someone who saw the streamers-in-the-wind liveried Huracan at a Baton Rouge Cars and Coffee recently posted this before-and-after image:

Yikes.

While there are no suspects just yet, the circumstances surrounding the burned car have led to the incident being described as “extremely suspicious.”

The car was parked at the lot of Mahler’s contracting company, H&O Investments, which has been receiving threats and calls on social media for other companies to stop doing business with them as a result of H&O taking the contract to remove four Confederate monuments in Baton Rouge.

Look, the Confederacy lost. It’s not going to “rise again,” especially if the supporters of the losing side of the Civil War can’t understand this all-important, fundamental law of civilized humankind:

You don’t **** with a man’s ride.

Hopefully, the investigation will find the carsonists, and justice will be served, giving them some time to think about how to be less touchy about a war that’s been lost and over for well over a century and a half.

Heh.
Or an act of God.
Deo Vindice.

A second glass of wine is talking here, but I looked up that phrase and totally agree with it.

Like many others here, I've had ENOUGH of this PC crap and while I normally don't condone this kind of vandalism (if it is vandalism - see post 11), I do NOT feel bad about this event.

Somehow I make the 'lie down with dogs" connection in that you associate yourself with this PC theatre, you deserve what happens.

Now if it were a Tesla, I’d be a lot more careful before calling it suspicious.

Judging by what is left, the car body was not metal. A very expensive model kit.

I believe those kind of cars are carbon fiber now. Yup. they'll burn like anything.

Like it or not, Confederate soldiers are considered American veterans by an act of congress and deserve the same protections/respect as any other.

This is despicable.

What next?

Some peacenik hippy bulldozes the Tomb Of the Unknowns?

I live in the Freak State, where a monument to Lee is *not* allowed on the Antietam Battlefield, because of “PC”.

Sick of it!

Of all the remarkably stupid things the liberals have tried to outlaw, *this* stuff will be the thing that backlashes, worst.

It already has.

There are more battle flags up in my area than ever before, some, in places I would *never* have imagined them flying.

Bad move, this time.

We still have White's Ferry on the Potomac, John Singleton Mosby's area of operations. And with the name of the ferry barge itself, that sets their heads spinning.

Almost became a Josey Wales Potomac boat ride when the cable snapped a few months back.

About 30 years ago, my ex and I went down to apply for the ferry tenders job but he got hired on at the local prison, instead.

Lousy luck, that.

LOL at Josey Wales reference.

;D

Several times a summer, I ride down Mosby HWY...just because.

“Perhaps if he wanted to get paid for destroying historical monuments he should work for the Wahibis.”

He does. The homegrown, PC version.

Karma is a meteor dropping from the sky on it, or an earthquake swallowing it up. This is arson.
