Yeah, and that’s better than we generally get these days.
Reading the headline I’m thinking “someone painted Vote Trump on a church, and someone else got triggered when he saw those words and set fire to it.”
What a dumbass.

A sane judge.
10 years us about right, just don’t let him out early.
Ahhh… the Mastermind... Jussie.
That or “the man who set fire to the church was painted with vote Trump”
now I wanna know what he was doing inside the church that he had to burn it down to cover up. Or maybe we don’t wanna know.
I thought he burned down the church because he couldn’t spell “Trump” correctly. /sarc
Ten years at Parchman Farm is no joke
Only one county east of Greenville
Smack in the middle of the Delta
Another white supremacist? /s.
This was reported in 2016. Many believe it was another hoax. Where McClinton is a member of the church and he had prior convictions. Washington country is a Democrat strong hold in Mississippi.
"Man sentenced in burning of church painted with 'Vote Trump'"
We know it was shown to be a hoax.But the headline doesn't communicate it.
The real America just won’t cooperate with their perverted vision of America, so they gotta make it up, all the time.
