Remember that Ohio church a week ago that was firebombed over a drag show? [View all]

There is an angle of the story that most media outlets strangely ignored completely.

Headline: "Ohio Church Hosting Drag Event Firebombed, Resists Police Pressure"

Read those last three words again.

From this source: https://medium.com/prismnpen/ohio-church-hosting-drag-event-firebombed-resists-police-pressure-ed1dc3915fb9

In response to the initial threats of violence and protest from Proud Boys, et all,

"To write that local law enforcement reacted poorly is to badly understate what happened next. Instead of rallying to protect the restaurant and the church — to protect and serve their community— police officials complained that protection would be too costly, claimed they wanted no part in “controversy,” and advised the church (in what reads like an order) to shut the events down."

The cops were doing the terrorist's job for them.
