David Mahler - the man whose company was tasked with removing four Confederate monuments in New Orleans - had his 2014 Lamborghini Huracan razed to the ground on Tuesday. After the company - H&O Investments - took on the job Orleans, Mahler received death threats, and as the fire seems to be the work of arsonists, it’s suspected that the blaze is linked.

Last month New Orleans city council voted 6-1 in favour of taking the monuments down, partially in response to the racially-motivated Charleston church shootings, which left nine people dead last June.

Due to fears for the safety of himself, his family and employees, Mahler has now cancelled his contract with the city.

For crying out loud, take it on the person not on the car. The car hasn’t done you anything wrong the guy did.

As someone who lives in the US, I can understand someone feeling uncomfortable looking at the Confederate flags. However, to others the confederate flag represents heritage and who they lost on the confederate side in their family. I don’t think it should be related to the 1930’s-1940’s Flag in Germany. The old German Flag had a definitive hate symbol in it. The Confederate Flag doesn’t posses a hate symbol. I don’t think the flag should be on government grounds except historical sites. I think people should be able to carry a flag around though. This Lamborghini did not deserve this.

It is more than the flag, it is the historical significance in its role in the civil war, that is making people so upset about the monuments, but not worthy of this

What’s the definitive hate symbol on the german swastika flag? Oh, the hindu symbol for auspiciousness. Irony…

It’s history stuff, and they’re trying to destroy something that showed what happened over 150 years ago.

Yuep, the General Lee is also doomed.
