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.

The confederate monuments are honoring important people who fought on the side of the confederate states of America in the American Civil war. A lot of people in the south still hold them in high regard. Arsonists are people that go around setting things on fire, usually as a scare tactic.

Really why, I just don’t get it first of all that’s not how you make a statement and why go after the contractor not the people who hired them
