Leftist hate churches and like racial conflict.
But burning a church in Wasilla AK, with the parishoners still inside, is just election-year politics...
Copycat "hate crimes"?
Or more false flags, like the hate crime "victims" who lie about their attackers?
The Watchman Ping List - FReepmail Old Sarge for details!
Nationwide there are about 1500-1800 fires annually at churches.
That’s an average of 125 per month on the low end.
Unless The Washington Post has evidence that these fires represent a significant increase in the number of fire events at churches, then they need to stop trying to tie them to some upswing in “hate crimes”.
So....they loot and burn their own communities and no one thinks they would burn a few of their own churches to get more attention?
They can’t determine whether its a “hate” crime because they do not have a white suspect in custody. If its a black suspect than it can no longer be considered a “hate” crime.
Insurance money?
And an FBI spokesman says although they've opened a file on the God's Power Church of Christ, there's been no ruling that the fire was motivated by bias.
The Tuesday-morning fire caused heavy damage to the building on Cedar Avenue, off Mercer University Drive. Fire officials said last week that they believe the fire was set, but so far have not explained why. They did say the church was recently burglarized and its sound system was stolen."
Never let the truth get in the way of a good story......
No one has? Must have been the Confederate flag then.
No one on the left cared when Sarah Palin’s church burned.
The irony is that not too long ago, in parts of the South, black churches, most of which were double wide trailers, were frequently burned by competing pastors from other black churches.
A case of too many churches and too many pastors, competing for the same potential congregants. It didn’t help that their congregants were a terribly fickle bunch, who would change churches for petty reasons.
Yet even then I noted that when such burnings happened, the media would invariably use a stock photo of a brick and wood white church.
This is going to be the new meme.
I saw a post earlier that had some stats on the historical numbers relating to churches. There has been no spike in this kind of thing.
Prayers for these churches as they rebuild.
