I don’t know Boston, is that an affluent neighborhood or a slum? (Northampton)

Seems upscale according to homes.com and the listings. This may be an insurance
job by burning many to cover the few.

Western party of the state, near Springfield, not Boston. It’s famous as a tolerant location for lesbians. Quite Liberal, even for MA.

four at homes and four in cars - and at least 10 small fires were set within a few square miles.

From the sounds of it, its either kids or a nutcase on a rampage. Could be some more of this homegrown terror we are beginning to see now, don't read like someone trying to cover up an insurance claim.

It’s West, out in the Berkshires. A Lesbian Mecca, a Provincetown for women.

Maybe it’s some one who doesn’t like queers, dykes in particular. Or maybe their homes are about to go into foreclosure and they decided to burn them and make it look like homophobic terrorism and collect the insurance.

I would suspect one of the 18 victims. A desperate person running an insurance scam, trying to disappear in a crowd of victims.

“”Anyone blaming rightwing radicals yet seeing that is moonbat capital or could it be terrorists or some lunatic. “”

Or some know each other - say, two “couples”, and eacj decided to burn their own and one other unknown in order to cover it up for the insurance because they’re upside down in their properties or about to default.

I’m surprised there aren’t more arson these days for these reasons.

I don't think homophobia has anything to do with it. Northampton is a pretty polite place, and so are most of the people. Someone who hated Gays would target PTown, because they are nasty and in-your-face there.

LOL, that’s not what I said.

I’m saying some dykes may have burned their own property and other properties to cover up the burning of their own and make it look like some homophobe did it, meaning a hoax burning, likes blacks burning churches and trying to make it look like whites did it.

Get it?
