Regardless of how people feel about the Georgia Guidestones, “they are a historical landmark, and this destructive act was an assault upon our community,” the prosecutor said. A Georgia prosecutor described the apparent targeting of a mysterious monument with an explosive device as an “act of domestic terrorism,” saying Thursday that the alleged crime was aimed at the county agencies that own the site. “The destruction of a public building by explosive is inherently intended to influence the actions of the governing authority that owns the structure,” Parks White, the Northern Judicial Circuit district attorney, said in an email about the explosion of the Georgia Guidestones on Wednesday. “The use of violence to sway or alter the behavior of any government agency is terrorism,” said White, whose office would handle a potential prosecution.
