On Thursday, a woman emptied what looked to be a large red can of gasoline all over the front porch of the house where Martin Luther King Jr. was born in Atlanta. She was seemingly intent on burning the historic home down.
But two visitors from Utah who had come to see the historic site were watching the woman — and they acted quickly to save it, standing in her way when she tried to bring a lighter onto the porch. When the woman tried to leave the scene, two other visitors stopped her and held her until police arrived.
"Their quick action saved the jewel of our city, something very important to Atlanta," Atlanta Police Chief Darin Schierbaum told local TV stations at the scene. Praising the bystanders who intervened, he added, "That action saved an important part of American history tonight."
Police arrived at the home around 5:45 p.m., after getting a 911 call about vandalism at the home just east of downtown Atlanta.
The officers found "two what we believe to be off-duty NYPD officers who'd been visiting the center that had the individual detained," Schierbaum said, adding that the officers had chased the woman down as she attempted to flee.
In an update, Atlanta Police identified the woman as Laneisha Shantrice Henderson, 26. She has now been charged with arson and interfering with government property.

The left is very good at removing historical monuments.
Memory hole...
But if she hadn’t been caught in the act, guess how it would be reported.
Another “ white supremacist “ narrative down the tubes.
Don’t you feel sorry for the criminal media?
And had she been successful, we KNOW what our slimy, deserving execution media would have done with the story. Interesting, is it not, that the vast, vast majority of the “racist” acts have been perped by...wait for it...you know whos.
“The gas can was red—a dog whistle to MAGA supporters! Reeeeee!”
Still is too.
Little princess must have been in the mood for some rioting to get rolling.
Yep, she still is and always will be, but she wasn’t white for those who may had thought that she was. 🤣
“Two visitors from Utah who had come to see the historic site were watching the woman — and they acted quickly to save it, standing in her way when she tried to bring a lighter onto the porch.”
Two white people? More reason to memory hole this crime.
That will be challenging however as their act calls for recognition by the city and the country. I look forward to hearing about these two who risked their lives to save a historic building. It sounds very much like a white people thing.
Probably wanted to get the Walmart Christmas Shopping for Looters started. Christmas is comin’ on fast and she has got any Christmas looting done.
“I have a nightmare “
No doubt...we know this because it isn’t all over the news. If it’d been a white the country would be on fire by now.
“Memory hole...”
Pretty much. At least the “Third Day Hole”.
The media blurred out pictures and didn’t report a name until the story was buried. And there’s no interest in finding a motive for a black person to burn down MLK’s home.
