Having said that, I really do hope that the Justice Department shows some backbone and drops the hammer on these guys. They need to know that there is a real price for their arrogance.

I’m no tree-hugger, yet I do consider the big-time real estate developer to be one of the great evils facing our cultural heritage. IMO, they believe that nothing should stand in the way of their chase for the almighty dollar, ESPECIALLY something as intangible as “history.”

I hope these SOB’s get what they deserve… but I doubt they will. I like David’s idea… 🙂

Simply shoot the developer and workers. No deals, no further hassle. Great deterrent to future idiots.

However, I’m sure the developers are politically connected (such as the developer Michael alludes to who bulldozed trenches in the Wilderness) and they’ll get away with it.

Oct. 10, Ft. Trenholm Damaged
Fort Trenholm, an 1864 Earthwork on the Johns Island side of the Stono River was damaged when a bulldozer operated by the Charleston County Aviation authority leveled parts of the fort. This happened one day after a press release describing efforts to prevent damage to the site was distributed to the media. All local preservation groups were assured the fort would be left alone. Authority officials attributed the damage to “miscommunication.” An archeologist employed by the authority described the damage as minor.
