Contractor Hired To Remove Louisiana Confederate Monuments Finds His Lambo Burned To The Ground

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.

Maybe they should learn a lesson.
You don’t **** with a man’s history.
Folks are fed up with revisionism.

Well that’s not right. Taking down the monuments isn’t either.

I knew there was a reason I don’t own any of them.

Well, that, and no money to speak of.

Dang.... I’m a pretty militant southern heritage defender, but these guys make me look meek.

[DoughtyOne]

Hate it when that happens...

He came to town to burn things down, so I guess turn about...

Perfect cover for a little insurance bilking.

[Lockbox]

that’s my thought also............

[DoughtyOne]

Hmmm keyed or matched?

I guess I’d go for keyed.

Perhaps the people who want the memorials destroyed did his car because he wouldn't do the job.

Hard to tell from the info in the story.

The car burned after the contractor backed out of the project, so it's a fair speculation. After all, only one side of this issue has shown a propensity for vandalism.

Of course, if a security video shows a bunch of BLM types putting a match to the Lambo, it will not be seen on the evening news.

“You don’t **** with a man’s ride.”

You don’t **** with a man’s heritage. He’s lucky he’s still breathing.

[SaveFerris]

Facts - they’re such pesky things!

“A Lamborghini? Removing statues must pay pretty well.”

Government statues anyways. Private ones not so much.

[onyx]

I concur.

First thought that came into my suspicious mind.

[HandyDandy]

“Jason Torchinsky”?

[stratboy]

But costs as much as a house

[SeaHawkFan]

body of a car like that is made of carbon fiber material. Very light weight and very strong. Also burns up pretty well.

Like it or not, the South existed and fought just the same as Northerners...and they bled like Northerners....and the south is entitled to grieve and preserve and protect their history.

This is no different than what the Muzzies are doing.
