US Attorney Jeanine Pirro discusses the felony indictment of a man accused of vandalising a national monument and the broader crackdown on attacks against public monuments. “This is not the way of a civilised society; it is anarchy,” Ms Pirro said. “In the past, individuals have made a decision to destroy and to damage national monuments, not taking into account the fact that the rest of the nation considers these monuments important and necessary to our history. “This unchecked vandalism and civil disorder turn into criminal behaviour … we will not allow our sacred monument to be roped off, or defaced, or diminished, or in any way impacted. “Those who decide that they want to do harm will be held accountable. “Today, a grand jury has returned a felony indictment against a defendant, David Hearn, for felony destruction of property, for which he faces ten years in prison.”
