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.

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

Wonder what kind of insurance he had on that car and if he still had payments on it? Most of these events turn out to be fake.

This lefty trend of rewriting history has got to stop,

No matter how one feels about the War Between the States, it is a part of our history. Erasing all traces of it and scrubbing it from our books is not what freedom is all about, but what tyrannies do to maintain control over their subjects.

I bet he did it himself. Probably burned out the clutch for the 100th time, was facing another $20K bill, and decided to play hate crime.

Just a hunch.

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

That someone burned this jerkoff’s Lambo is considered a crime here on earth, it is a Sin for eternity...

Must have been a short in the electrical system.

Even if they find the guy, good luck getting a conviction.

I'm all of a sudden supposed to side with the contractor because? Why?

Don't mess with a man's ride?

Then why all those YouTube videos of comical and sometimes horrendous things being done to cars parked poorly/illegally or cars driving recklessly?
