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”.
I believe there were at least 2 churches that burned in Detroit last week. One was ruled an arson almost immediately and the other is being investigated.
Neither has been suggested as a hate crime.
You may be right, I saw this Sunday morning on FOX. I saw the crawl once or maybe twice, then it disappeared.
At the time I had two thoughts.
1) Agent provocateur
or
2) It’s beginning.
Now you have added at third thought.
3) Maybe the media is trying to stir up a race war or possibly a second civil war.
Article admits half the fires were accidents. Disingenuous headline.
