A group of anarchist vandals claiming allegiance with New Orleans mayor Mitch Landrieu spray-painted Confederate monuments this week and left a note imploring residents to use tools left behind to deface the historic structures.

The vandals hit two Confederate monuments in the city – a statue of General Albert Pike and plaque honoring Abram J. Ryan, a Confederate poet and priest – on Tuesday. The culprits used red spray paint to leave derogatory messages with Pike and scrawled anarchist signs on Ryan’s memorial, WDSU reports.

The incident occurred just days after the city completed the removal of four Confederate monuments over the last several weeks, an issue dragged out for two years and caused deep divisions within the community.

The vandalism this week also included chisels and hammers left at the scene, as well as numerous copies of a peculiar flyer that blew through the park and neighborhood Wednesday.

“Concerning the imminent removal of the stella honoring the so called ‘poet laureate of the Confederacy,’ Abram Joseph Ryan.

“Tired of the smoke and mirrors of the city’s earlier removals, Mitch contracted us to arrange a more participatory spectacle for the removal of the remainder of the city’s more odious monuments,” the handwritten letter read.

“Ergo, we have provided hammers and chisels for your pleasure, brought to you with just an eency bit of embezzled tax dollars. So come one, come all! Take a few whacks! Care your name! Chisel a penis! Mind the wet paint and have fun.”

The seemingly mocking missive is supposedly the work of “The Real Meow Meow Liberation Front – Professional Party Planning Committee.”

“P.S. Mitch also asked that we dedicate this carnival of iconoclasm to Turtle Island’s newest revolutionary formation: the Revolutionary Abolitionist Movement. So let’s burn down the American Plantation together!” the flyer read.

WGNO reports the same note was posted anonymously to the website “It’s Going Down,” which is a “digital community center from anarchist, anti-fascist, autonomous anti-capitalist and anti-colonial movements.”

Landrieu’s people denied any connection to the Real Meow Meow Liberation Front.

WDSU reporter Casey Ferrand posted to Twitter that “one resident says one of the flyers flew into his front lawn.” The man did not want to be identified, but told Ferrand “he fears for the safety of his family,” she posted.

Others said they would love to see the monuments destroyed, but didn’t plan to do it themselves.

“I’m on the side take it down, so I say take your chisel and chisel it down,” Ericka Rubio, who lives near the Ryan plaque, told WDSU.

“I personally wouldn’t go up and do that, but that doesn’t mean I disagree.”

Regardless, Charles Washmon and his fellow volunteers at the Monument Task Committee were left to clean up after the vandals on Wednesday.

“We have spent the last 30 years taking care of every monument in this city,” Washmon said. “I just took pictures to document it and get MTC out here to clean this monument, to take the hammer and chisel away and propaganda away and clean it up.”
