Hoodie-wearing arsonists try to burn down Confederate museum on election night

AM: Police believe arsonists attempted to burn down the Confederate Memorial Hall Museum near New Orleans’ Lee Circle early Wednesday morning as election results made it clear Donald Trump is the next president of the United States.

Two men hopped the gate in front of the museum shortly before 2 a.m., one with a tire in hand, and they set it ablaze on the front steps of the building before fleeing the scene, Richard Angelico, member of the museum’s board, told The Advocate.

Firefighters responded around 2:15 p.m. when the fire set off the heat sensors near the door, which was damaged by the incident. The granite steps also cracked as a result, a fire department spokesman said.  MORE

  1. I’d be seriously pissed off if these Leftist fascists burn down that museum. Last I heard, it contains one of the uniforms of my distant great-great-great uncle Confederate states of America Maj General Mansfield Lovell, loser of the Defense of New Orleans during the War Of Northern Aggression.
