Early morning explosion damages controversial Georgia monument

This article didn't state it but ultimately it was unstable so they knocked the rest of it down.

I had heard of the monument before- I know republicans didn't like it (it was Satanic!) and my husband said something about it being tied to eugenics (?).  It doesn't bother me either way that it's gone, but I was surprised 1. at how little attention this story got, because it seems like the use of explosives should be a bigger deal? and 2. that there was so little security. One camera at one angle? (I understand it wasn't a government sponsored monument- the upkeep was a granite company- but still.)

I looked at the Wikipedia page for this monument and wow. Takes all kinds.

Anyway, the use of explosives is troubling as is a kooky granite structure catching the ire of conspiracy theorists.

John Oliver has a web special on this (pre dates the explosion) which is hilarious. I don't have a link, but it's worth taking the time to Google.

I'm hoping he puts out ab update now that they've been destroyed.

I don’t think I’d heard of them before I watched that. And was left 😳😳😳
