These guys are like the Taliban blowing up antiquities in Afghanistan. "It offends them".
A monument finished in the 1960s and 70s as a protest against Civil Rights, funded and enabled largely by the KKK which held its second founding there, is hardly an "antiquity."

Stone Mountain is not a cultural antiquity. It was privately carved and owned as a tourist attraction in the early 20th century. It was purchased by my State in 1958 and serves as a sort of amusement park (with fake snow play area in the winter). I would not compare it to a national park in any sense at all.
Forgive me, but isn't this exactly what ISIS does to ancient monuments and holy places?
Is this guy on crack?
Will he want to blow the heads of Washington and Jefferson from Mount Rushmore because they were slave owners?

It doesn't matter, people are becoming zealots! This is becoming seriously dangerous.
A few pounds of the right explosives and the faces of those scumbag Confederates would be erased from Stone Mountain forever. The carving at Stone Mountain was designed and funded by the KKK.
Greenpeace will NEVER allow it.............
