A woman was arrested on Thursday after dousing Martin Luther King Jr.'s birth home in Atlanta, Georgia, with gasoline during an attempt to set the home on fire.

The 26-year-old woman, whose name has not been released, is charged with criminal attempt to commit arson and criminal attempt to damage government property. She could also face federal charges in connection with the incident.

Atlanta police officers responded to Martin Luther King Jr.'s birth home shortly after 5:45 p.m. on Thursday following reports of vandalism. Atlanta Police Chief Darin Schierbaum told reporters that two tourists from Utah told officers they observed the woman dousing plants, the porch and the front door of the home with what smelled like gasoline before they intervened upon seeing her attempting to ignite a lighter.

A FB frenemy that lives in Atlanta was touting the low gas prices as a sign that Biden was doing a good job. Since then, a Pali-swine protester has self-immolated, and now this. Gas must be really cheap. Let’s go, Brandon!

Maybe she’s one of MLK’s grandchildren via one of his mistresses, and has an ax to grind.

If Shaniqua had done it last night, I think it would be dominating today’s news, and whitey would be blamed.

I remember when I was younger and learning how intelligent readers of Правда would glean most of their information by what was not printed, rather than what was. Thing is, I never thought I would be living under such a system.

You were living under such a system back then. You just didn't know it.

Three motives come to mind:

1) Trying to fake a racist hate crime

2) She genuinely hated MLK whose colorblind emphasis on character is now deemed racist by the left

3) Crazy

Looks like a False Flag was stopped by off duty police.

So who sent her?

No picture, no name, the headline doesn’t scream “White woman tries to burn MLK’s home” so the conclusion is obvious.

I absolutely expect Democrats in 2024 to reference this incident as proof that KKK-style white supremacy is a major problem today.

I don't have the slightest doubt you're right.

She was restrained by the people who caught her and who called the police. While being held on the ground passersby seemed to be more concerned about her welfare. “Are you OK, young lady, can you breathe?”

Good timing...another 5 mins, she would have been on Tik Tok filming the inferno saying she saw two white dudes in MAGA hats running away.

Martin Luther King Jr. wasn’t born, Michael King Jr. was.

Martin Luther King was made.
