OPINION: So now we know.
That strange monolith at Atascadero in California in the United States that created a worldwide stir?
He was brutally ripped off by four young Southern California punks, dressed in camouflage and racist mouths, who claimed to be doing God’s work. They tore down the metal sculpture and left a wooden cross in its place.
The last monolith was discovered on the top of a hill in Atascadero. It didn’t last long.
“Christ is king in this country, we are going to tear down this b …..” they said in a live broadcast video that has since been removed.

“We do not want illegal aliens from Mexico or from outer space,” was another of his pronouncements.
Here’s our question: How desperate must you be to get noticed to drive five hours in the middle of a pandemic, breaking curfew, by the way, to deliberately destroy something that brought some lightness to a world that’s been going through? for hell?
The answer: quite desperate. And unpleasant.
As Atascadero Mayor Heather Moreno described, “The monolith was unique and fun in an otherwise stressful time.”
It was also the third in a series of monoliths that appeared in remote locations, the first in Utah and the second in Romania, and then they disappeared, fueling speculation about aliens, artists, and public relations stunts.
It is not clear what happened to the one in Romania.
A pair of eco-hooligans allegedly destroyed the original monolith in the Utah desert because they were upset that onlookers were ripping apart the fragile environment.
We don’t agree with their tactics but, well, at least they had a just cause.
But tear down a metal sculpture because it is “a monument to Satan”?
That’s crazy.
In a press release, the city of Atascadero said it is investigating the incident and would like anyone with information to contact the Police Department.
Please do it.
Don’t let these jerks get away with infiltrating under cover of the night, outrageously destroying a playful work of art that obviously took effort and ingenuity to create and launch, and then brag about it on social media.
We are not looking to release the book to you, but there should be some kind of appropriate penalty.
Maybe broadcast a public apology live, followed by loads of hours of public service in the parks of Atascadero?
Finally, to the person or persons who created the Atascadero monolith, thank you and we are sorry that it ended this way.
If you’re ever in the mood for an encore, there are plenty of other cool hills in SLO County.
