HUNTSVILLE, Texas (KTRK) -- A man who alleged a hate crime at his property in 2023 has been detained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Agents with the FBI and the Texas Department of Public Safety arrested Mario Roberson Thursday morning.

Roberson is facing twelve charges linked to a June 2023 deadly arson at his rental property in Huntsville, and could possibly spend his life in prison.

ABC13 first reported on Roberson in May 2023 after he claimed racist graffiti had been spray-painted on the home. He implied alleged racism in the neighborhood's HOA was to blame for the incident, which he went on to speak about in a press conference.

An unsealed federal indictment alleges Roberson orchestrated both the graffiti and deadly arson in a bungled attempt to collect insurance money. The document states Roberson allegedly hired a relative to carry out the arson, who enlisted two other men to assist.

Was there a noose hanging on the tree in his yard? How could he miss that if he was staging a hate crime?

It’s good to know that actual racism is so rare down South that Leftists have to fabricate it.

Setting aside whatever stats people want to throw to try and justify that statement, ill stick to my personal observations and experience. Of the dozens of black people I have taken the time to get to know and spend time with, I can only count one that was sentenced to jail and that was for extensive fraud when she was pocketing money while CEO of a state-run non-profit.

In fact, one guy that I call a close friend, I would trust alone with my daughter. As a matter of principle I won’t do that for anyone, but saying that to make the point. I challenge you to get to know some people before making those judgements.

I am sure the media whores who breathlessly reported this as a “hate crime” will be retracting their conclusions and apologizing to white people.
