It is not yet known why Anthony Weimer tore down the statue. He now faces a felony charge of criminal mischief.
KALISPELL, Montana, July 1, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) Police have arrested 30-year-old Anthony Weimer for pulling down a statue of the Ten Commandments outside Flathead County Courthouse in northeastern Montana.
The Kalispell Police Department said calls came in on Saturday that a male was on the Flathead County Courthouse grounds, and appeared to be wrapping a chain around the Ten Commandments monument, reported the local NBC station. Officials say those callers saw the man attach the chain to a pickup truck, and then pull the monument into the street. Police say the man reportedly removed the chain, then got into the truck and left the scene.
The officers were later able to find the truck used to tear down the statue, and then arrested the subject, who now faces a felony charge of criminal mischief.
It is not yet known why Weimer tore down the statue. According to local newspaper Flathead Beacon, Kalispell Chief of Police Doug Overman said his office has no evidence that Weimers action is connected to any protest movement.
Even in remote Flathead County, with less than 20 inhabitants per square mile, a number of heavily armed people surrounded the Veterans Memorial in Kalispells Deport Park to protect it from vandals who never arrived, and a small group of Black Lives Matter protesters had previously gathered outside the old Flathead County Courthouse, where the statue pulled down on Saturday was located.

#16. Some of us Jews are armed and waiting. Nice to have a son who is a combat veteran of Iraq and an Irish Catholic great son-in-law who is a veteran of Kosovo and Kuwait.
Me, just a journalist in SVN and Cambodia, on our side. Now armed. Wasn’t then.
As Rabbi Meir Kahane, Al Qaeda’s first American murder victim, said, “NEVER AGAIN”!
Lock him up for a decade or face rioters, arson, and looters even in Kalispell. It’s an easy call - justice for this violent thug.
Agree. ‘Never Again’.
Commiespell sucks. Anytime I see a MT plate that starts with the number 7 I avoid the occupants. Same with 4 (Bozeman)

I’m really thankful that I had the opportunity when I was a young guy to travel and hang out in those areas before they were invaded by leftist trash that has been moving into the area over the past decade.
I have no reason why they do this but they do....

I would have to do a little research to confirm this, but I believe most Jews today are actually agnostics and/or atheists, sometimes referred to as “secular” Jews. Modernism, beginning in the late seventeenth century in Europe influenced the rise of Jewish communities that rejected the religious norms and disciplines espoused by rabbinical leadership. Consequently their identities as “Jews” became increasingly secular, and therefore at odds with the beliefs and practices based on the Torah and the commandments.
