Troubling, and somewhat sad. The Georgia Guidestones were most likely built during the Cold War by a group of people who wanted to try to leave something to future generations after a nuclear war. It also became a tourist attraction for Elbert County, Georgia. But groups of fundamentalist Christians and conspiracy theorists became convinced they were "satanic" or part of a "new world order".
I hope this is investigated as a domestic terrorist incident. It's a worrying sign of the times we live in, I suppose. Perhaps the stones were merely the latest victim in the fallout from the growth in right wing extremism and conspiracy theories.
