A man yelled "Freedom!" as he crashed his vehicle into Arkansas' new Ten Commandments monument early Wednesday, nearly three years after he was arrested in the destruction of Oklahoma's monument at its state Capitol, authorities said.
The privately funded Arkansas monument had been in place outside the state Capitol in Little Rock for less than 24 hours before it was knocked from its plinth and smashed to pieces.
Michael Tate Reed, 32, of Van Buren, Arkansas, was booked in the Pulaski County jail shortly after 7:30 a.m. on preliminary charges of defacing objects of public interest, criminal trespass and first-degree criminal mischief. An arrest report lists his occupation as "unemployed/disabled."

Love that movie, been a LONG time since I saw it...
Not only a hate crime(although all crimes are a form of “hate”) but an act of terrorism. (an attempt to silence Christian voices and Ideology through violence.)
Also I heard on radio 11:00 news that he had crashed a car into an other Ten Commandments display. (that part not repeated at noon or 1:00)
You might be a redneck if...
"Thinks" like him, too.
Satan’s little helper should be charged with the serial commission of hate crimes. First Oklahoma, now Arkansas?
He’s gross.
Closer to Robin Williams.
He’s an under medicated former mental patient with schizophrenia who has done this before in Oklahoma.
Ohhhh, now I see. Trump called Putin and told Putin he needed a distraction to get rid of all this Russia talk. So Putin had a KGB mole pay off this nut job in Arkansas to do this and get everyone talking about it.
It’s clear now.
Just heard on local (Oklahoma City) radio that the vandal is the same guy that leveled the monument in Oklahoma.
Perhaps Arkansas can deal with him more sternly.

Michael Tate Reed’s letter on his Oklahoma smashing..
Eventually, the state of Arkansas will be ready to replace this statue. This time, I hope they learn by experience to put it in more protective setting. Either put it on top of a building, or behind a few heavy slabs of rock and fencing.
Or create a moat around it. A rather unlikely solution.
Too many wing nuts now react like a dog to certain sights.
This also happens with the Confederate Flag. People think they are within their rights to tear that flag off of your truck and burn it in front of you. Thanks, Obama and Holder.
Your progressive hysteria persists even today.
I don’t understand why we, after all of the legal wrangling and frivolous lawfare fails and the monument is erected, allow these psycho sons of bitches to destroy it in less than 24 hours, without taking the fight to their doorstep.
Considering Neil DeGrasse Tyson has speculated that the universe might be a simulation created by some alien, this dude may not be too far off from having a PBS show on the origins of mankind.
Omigosh, that is absolutely HILARIOUS!
You beat the sh*t out of this guy for being a moron.
Hate crime - make him do the time!
If he doesn’t repent, he WILL have his wish: freedom from God FOREVER.
He doesn’t know what he’s asking for.
