It appears David Mahler may have run afoul of people on both sides of the controversy over Confederate monuments in New Orleans. His company, H&O Investments, contracted to remove the controversial monuments. They backed out of the contract after receiving death threats, according to  a report from WAFB. Mahler was  awakened by a 1 am phone call on Tuesday. The caller said Mahler's $200,000 Lamborghini had been set ablaze. The vehicle was a total loss. This begs the question, was this done because he took the job, or because he backed out?
