(3,146 posts)Natch, It must be white folks burning these churches.
I remember how Muslims were blamed for the OKC bombing. It just had to be a Muslim terrorist, no doubt about it.
Then it was announced that the bomber was a white dude.
This is why I refuse to jump on the outrage bandwagon until the facts come in.

(2,841 posts)Burning churches in an area with so much racial tension. I don't think he's connected with anyone or had any motive aside from your typical cowardly arsonist who "ohhs and ahhs" at his "work".

(11,617 posts)Is there any evidence yet? He could very well have a motive of causing political unrest or getting revenge or something else.

(2,841 posts)I surely hope this guy didn't do this to incite some kind of riot or stir up racial tensions, but again I HOPE - I don't know.

And, check out the neck tattoos.

Witnesses tend to remember those.
