“”No one curious about what state this is in?””

I would have been curious any other time - that drives me nuts - and would have looked for it but I have a niece in Ocala so I just ASSUMED FL.. Was worried about the “church” part until I saw Catholic - she’s Baptist!

Here is a picture of the Antifa scumbag that told police he intentionally set it on fire, and enjoyed watching it burn with parishioners inside.  I guess he was hoping to kill as many as possibe? 

 

This scumbag is either incredibly stupid or he knows the charges will be dropped like in Portland.  Although he is about to learn Ocala, Florida does not play around. 

 

 

Steven Anthony Shields, 24, allegedly crashed his vehicle through the front doors of the Queen of Peace Catholic Church in Ocala and then set a fire in the building's foyer area, according to the sheriff's office.
