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.

A Lambo costs more than most houses.

“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.”

Then stop fighting the war that’s been over for a century and a half.

The South has peacefully relented for some 150 years. Just let them keep their memories and monuments. Raze those, and it will start right back up again because the “winners” just couldn’t let it be generations later.

Yes, the arson is a taste of what will happen if the destruction of Southern history progresses.

Especially if he hadn’t started removing the monuments.

What’s with all this “period” stuff? You have your opinion and I have mine. “Period” has nothing to do with either. Why bother communicating here if you think you have the only argument?

Guess the boys in Louisiana don’t want anyone messing with their confederate monuments, do they?

It’s possible it’s an insurance scam. I admit that wasn’t my first thought. I was hoping (and still believe) that the South has risen!

Honestly ... Let see for how much he had insured it, and if he's upside down on his bills. No one, and I mean no one, burns a Lamborghini out of spite. They might wheel it out of the garage and then burn the garage down. But the car would be left untouched.

“Magnum PI variety”
———Notorious crapbox the 308. The replacement 328s were better.

Lambos have long had issues with catching fire. They had a big recall awhile back on the Gallardo.

Yeah, I was wondering how this car could be consumed by fire and not be discovered until the next morning. Something smells fishy.

And I wonder if he can produce proof of the alleged threats.

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.

Oh, no! Do you suppose anyone is trying to do that to us?

As a native Marylander who now lives in Kent County, MD, I am proud of a town in another county, Easton, Maryland, which is in Talbot County. There is a memorial in the town dedicated to Confederate soldiers from the area. Even after a lot of pressure, the town council voted not to remove it.
