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.

Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Suspected, as if I just burnt itself out

To be fair, Lamborghinis do have a track record of burning themselves out…

Somebody burn the cars that driven by those idiots that burned David’s car!

ashes to ashes
dust to dust
the lambo has had it
and got blown away at dusk

Just light the guy on fire, the Lambo didn’t do anything.

He selling the wheels? They look fine

Sorry, i lent that guy my mixtape….

Did you really…?

“the unofficial or unauthorized use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims.”

That is the definition of Terrorism. Sending death threats, burning his car to a cinder, the mad people that did this should be locked up.

Beyond disgusted with people who behave like this.

Not that their actions were justified, but I still find it ridiculous that some people still think that things asssociated with the Confederacy is about racism. I would say that they shouldn’t have even tried to take down the statues.
