Portland arson suspect charged for historic church fire leaving 1905 house of worship marked for demolition
Fox news ^ | January 5, 2023 | Danielle Wallace

The suspect, assigned male at birth, indicated a preferred name traditional for females, though Portland officials could not immediately confirm whether the individual identifies as transgender.

The fire first reported around 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Old Portland Korean Church -- a three-story wooden, 3,000-square foot church, completed in 1905 – quickly escalated to three-alarm status and sparked concerns of a major structural collapse if the steeple were to fall onto elevated lines for the street car or a nearby house as crews poured water onto the blaze overnight.

“Constructed in 1905 for $18,000, the ornate church with a 35-foot steeple initially housed Portland’s First Evangelical Church, which had German-speaking membership, according to the caption of a 1978 file photo by The Oregonian/OregonLive.”

I suppose they emphasized the Korean angle to get everyone to think “hate crime”. Of course, we know it can’t be a “hate crime” because the perp is a trans woman.

It’s depressing to see how quickly the media has surrendered to the vocabulary of the mentally disturbed.

No one is assigned anything at birth. No one is transgender.

It’s a damn shame that Fox News has bowed down to their new masters, the trans fascists, and is using the government-approved language of trans.

“Due to House Bill 3273, the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office will no longer be posting booking photos to our public website’s jail information section, the person’s name and charges will remain. “

It was empty since 2016 and was deemed unsafe to enter. It was beautiful in its day but was slated for demo. Not that it justifies arson. Just a few facts.

Probably first said about Sulu. Then cut from the scene and the Bones McCoy one became the classic. Just kidding.

The George Takei wedding with his alleged "husband" was a big story in People Magazine. Barf bags weren't sent with the mailed issues.

Guy may be a genius. Switch sex every week and keep them buried in paperwork.

I agree, but you’ll have to tell them. They banned me a long time ago. Never known why.

“Assigned male at birth.” Does that mean the Good Lord put a stem on that apple? Where did sanity go? What if it really WAS fluoride in the water? :)

The media haven't "surrendered" to anything. They are the ones primarily responsible for disseminating the LGBT propaganda and pushing all of the perversion.
