Authorities charged A 35-year-old black St. Louis man with arson for two of the seven church fires in a predominantly African-American part of the St. Louis region, and federal investigators said there is no evidence of a hate crime.
David Lopez Jackson was charged Friday in St. Louis Circuit Court with two counts of second-degree arson in the fires at Ebenezer Lutheran Church and New Life Missionary Baptist Church, both in the city. St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson said investigations continue into the other fires — three in St. Louis, two in nearby Jennings — and Jackson is a suspect in all of them.
The fires were set between Oct. 8 and Oct. 22. Five of the congregations are predominantly black, one is racially mixed and one is mostly white.
The fires spurred a hate-crime investigation to determine if the attacks were motivated by race or religion. But the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives downplayed that possibility in a statement on Friday.
"There appears to be no indication of a hate crime or sign ... any one particular Christian denomination or ethnic group was being targeted," the federal agency said.

Yes. Hate crimes against him. He could not deal with the stress of all that white privilege and micro-aggression arrayed against him.
Was his name Clayton Bigsby?
"White Power!!!"
This gang thug punk should be tried, found guilty and then executed!!! Not a hate crime? Only in Obama’s world!
".....wasn't gonna mention it,...but either his head is lopsided or he got his last haircut on the side of a hill"
What is with the crown tatoo in between the eyes???
Black arsonist setting churches on fire = no hate crimes
White arsonist setting chrches on fire = white supremist and racist committing hate crimes
looks more like Mooch’s son.
Probably just a plot against him because he is black. He is really just changing his life around and going to college to be a fire inspector.
Black Arsonist lives matter.
***...no indication of a hate crime***
Last night ABC news reported they had a suspect. No name. No description. They said the arsons were NOT a hate crime and I knew in an instant the suspect was not white.
The ruling elite, even though most, if not all, are White cannot wait to eliminate the White [Caucasian] race. And they have a very large following. The question is why. The Blacks do not wish to eliminate their race. I have yet to read of a Black saying [writing], “I am ashamed that I am Black”. The same goes for the Asians. Only Whites and Jews self hate. Why do they is the question.
As I have been saying, hate crime laws were created to criminalize anything a White does or says, or doesn’t say or doesn’t do, and to set free non-Whites who physically attack whites.
Obama’s son??? At the age Obama would have been to have this man as his son, he wasn’t having sex (with women).
I’m amazed the St Louis Post Dispatch would tell the truth... must of slipped by some liberal elite staff liar...

He be the king; he’s got the crown to prove it.
Is that crown a tattoo or did he get that smacking his forehead on the dashboard of his car?
Pegged it on day one but got blasted for saying so.
