Man arrested after allegedly defacing 'America's Stonehenge' with suspected Q-Anon-related graffiti

A New Jersey man was arrested Monday after defacing an ancient rock formation in 2019 with suspected QAnon-related graffiti, according to police in Salem, New Hampshire.

Mark Russo, 50, was charged with one count of felony criminal mischief after carving phrases into a rock tablet with a power tool at "America's Stonehenge" site in New Hampshire, according to a release from Salem Police. He was taken into custody in New Jersey and was later extradited to New Hampshire.

The landmark's website says the arrangement of rocks is approximately 4,000 years old.

Police said that on September 29, 2019, officers responded to the scene following a report of criminal mischief, and they found a rock tablet that was damaged by a power tool.

I've never been quite able to get my head around it either. Book burners, and destruction of religious (and cultural) sites and accoutrements -- as ugly as their motivations are -- at least have some ideal or agenda. These types -- appear to just be haters. No message -- just a vicious intent to hurt.

"Smith told CNN that Salem Police did not originally understand the phrase to be related to QAnon, but through the assistance of the FBI, authorities were able to track the phrase to related social media and other vandalism sites"


Fire them all for incompetence.
