David Mahler, the owner of H&O Investments, said death threats, bad press, and fear of losing other business caused him to pull out of his contract with the city of New Orleans to remove Confederate monuments. The still did not stop Confederate extremist who burned his 2014 Lamborghini, worth and estimated $200,000, to the ground.

According to a Facebook post from his wife Tessa Mahler,

I normally do not put personal situations on Facebook but something is compelling me to not stay silent on this. We received this call at 1am this morning. I’m sure most of you can tell that these are the remnants of my husbands prized car. This is just a possession and can always be replaced but someone has something to say to us. Any of you that know my husband, knows that he would not only give you the shirt off his back but buy you your own wardrobe. I don’t know if this has anything to do with a job he was recently CONTRACTED to do and decided not to take or if there is another reason but it makes me sad that someone would go this far. The hate in this would is too thick so I’ll be the bigger person and only spread love back. This has to stop!! God bless who ever decided to do this.

Is it really that serious people? If this is really a country that is growing and learning from it’s mistakes then the progressive thing to do is remove monuments that promote discrimination and exclusion.

What do you think of this situation? Let us know in the comments!
