Windows were broken out on the second and third floors, while debris was piled on the sidewalk beneath a first floor window holding an Obama '08 poster."

Irony, both that Cummings was one of those defending those defending Baltimore rioters as a "few bad apples" and that it could happen anywhere (anywhere apparently was through his ground floor window), and in front of a poster for the Savior that was to change race relations for the better.

Congressmam Elijah Cummings Baltimore home catches fire.

"Windows were broken out on the second and third floors, while debris was piled on the sidewalk beneath a first floor window holding an Obama '08 poster."

Irony, both that Cummings was one of those defending those defending Baltimore rioters as a "few bad apples" and that it could happen anywhere (anywhere apparently was through his ground floor window), and in front of a poster for the Savior that was to change race relations for the better.

The home of Congressman Elijah Cummings of Baltimore caught fire this morning. Cummings was in Washington at the time of the fire.

"I was in a Transportation Committee hearing when I learned about the fire at my house in Baltimore," Cummings reportedly told the press in a statement. "The fire started on the third floor of the house and the Fire Department is investigating the cause. Thankfully, no one was home at the time of the fire and there were no injuries. I am grateful to all of those who have expressed their concern."

"When things like this happen I do not ask the question, 'why did it happen to me?' I ask the question, 'Why did it happen for me,'" Cummings said. "There's something to be gained from this. I don't know what it is yet.

He was renting out the third floor where the fire started. Sounds like the Will of Allah though.

Kind of a scrambled account. Did it look like Amish vandals bent on arson (and why would they attack him, of all people) or was the window smashing what the fire crew did.

Now THERE'S a positive way to look at life.

Why don't you espouse that philosophy to the yoots and looters (yooters?) in Baltimore.

And, while you're at it, try persuading Preezy Urkel, former Turd General Eric Holder and, well, hell, how about trying to persuade EVERY black 'RAT politician in America to embrace that mindset?

Pricing dropping like rocks, his catches fire, insurance calls it a total loss, he gets his money, everyone feels sorry for him and it was really just an escape plan ?

Next thing we’ll hear is that it was started by a burning cross on his front lawn.

...I ask the question, 'Why did it happen for me,'" Cummings said. "There's something to be gained from this. I don't know what it is yet.

Does this statement mean he has not yet found a way to blame racist white people for the fire?

In any event, I am glad no one was hurt in the fire.

Yes, likely.

It would be just like a leftist to try to avoid the consequences of their policies through theft and deception.
