If this was arson, a possible "double motive" presents itself:

1. The need to raise money by a bit of "electrical re-modelling";
2. The need to tap into the wellsprings of victimology that are Sharpton's only stock in trade.

If this was arson, someone in Sharpton's inner circle would appear a likely suspect ; but would not disclose his/her participation to the Rev : thus insuring the Rev could deny all fore-knowledge in a credible manner.

Remember the 'church burnings' of a few yrs ago? Nasty white boys trying to burn down the churches of the innocent victims of racism and so on? This whole thing to me smells like an inside job, so as to be able to claim "racism" as the motive. And this guy 'says' he's reformed himself since the Brawley affair?
