Reply #79: Why these confessed arsonsists are considered 'pranksters'...

[Sapphire Blue]

... would be a start. Arson... a 'prank'? No, "nobody was killed", but the potential was there because of the crimes committed by these self-confessed arsonists. Would children of anyone but the privileged, committing a felony, be treated as 'pranksters'?

Why did they target rural churches, rather than churches from their 'good' neighborhoods? Who were they targeting, and why? What are their political ties?

The seriousness of these crimes is being dismissed because these self-confessed arsonists were from 'good' families. 'Good ' families... *sigh of relief* :sarcasm: They weren't Muslim 'terrorists', they weren't 'gang thugs', etc... the media (and much of the public, it seems) doesn't seem to be interested in holding children of the privileged to the same standards as those from less fortunate backgrounds.
