Man destroys new Ten Commandments statue at Arkansas Capitol

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."

I’ll take ‘bat $hit nuts’. I don’t think people who do these things are ever really devoted to any idea - it’s just something to hang their nuttiness on.

I’m not Jewish, Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, muslime, or even atheist. However, I’m getting sick of the sickos that keep destroying history, and that includes anything of the Confederacy during the Civil War. Leave history alone, you pricks.

First Night of Hanukkah...

While my very orthodox grandmother was still alive (20+ years ago), I thought I was doing a mitzvah by baking her from scratch a delicious and high-braid Challah bread.

Only, it was passover.

The demons may dance for a day, but they will have to go into the abyss when the Master commands them to do so.

If this was a Ramadan display, it would be a Hate Crime. So it’s a Hate Crime

This guy really doesn’t like the ten commandments.

I agree with you. On the books it is a hate crime.
My point is that crime by it’s nature is rooted in hate.
It is unfortunate that we now live in a time where this is no longer recognized.
I would still investigate this as terrorism as he is a repeat offender; specifically as he has previously destroyed another Ten Commandments monument.

American ISIS, of the violent left. Shades of 1917, where they will treat Trump like they treated the Romanovs.

The man has pushed God out of his heart and the demons of hate have entered. Hell on Earth is only a start.

I truly think if socialism/communism is explained in truth as being slavery it might open some eyes.
