But first, the quote of the week:
“We do not believe it was politically motivated. There may have been some efforts to make it appear politically motivated,” Mississippi Insurance Commissioner Mike Chaney, who also serves as the state fire marshal, told The Associated Press.
AYFKM? Read on:
DailyCaller: A black man has been arrested and charged with burning an African-American church in Greenville, Miss. last month and defacing its outer walls with “Vote Trump” graffiti.
The Mississippi state police arrested Andrew McClinton, 45, on Wednesday and charged him with first-degree arson of a place of worship, Warren Strain, a spokesman with the Mississippi Department of Public Safety told The Daily Caller.
McClinton allegedly set first to Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church, where he is a member, on Nov. 1, a week before the election. The fire destroyed 80 percent of the church. A GoFundMe account raised more than $240,000 to repair the facility.
SNIP: I can’t wait to hear Obama’s excuse.
The NYT has put the real story on the front page above the fold?
I didn’t catch the photo so he must be that Dindu Nuffin guy again.
WP ran the story without identifying the man’s race or providing a picture.
The MSM will run like mad from this story as fast as they can drop it with out being too obvious.
We Didn’t Start The Fire
Threepeat
Maybe the pews were uncomfortable.
Out back in my garage and buried deep beyond finding several years ago is a word I thought I would never need nor utter ever again. I’m considering digging it up out of necessity. I’ve actually forgotten the actual word but it’s something like … trigger .. bigger… no, that’s not it ….. I’ll know it when I see it. I’ll be back sometime before the second coming.

He didn’t like the new, white steeple?
People who do this kind of thing are mentally ill. Let’s start and end there.
I have to disagree about the mental illness angle. Well, maybe not. Leftism is a mental illness.
Who is the intended victim of this fraud? Whites.
This is a racially motivated hate crime.
My own Pastor posted the original story on facebook days before the election along with the quote:”Pray, pray, pray these last days before the election… and then after for our country.”
KMHendu — Exactly right. When any means at all justifies the ends you’re in sociopath territory. Just look at all those who took a measly $50.00 to show up at a Trump rally to beat up his supporters and rally attenders. Leftism’s creed “The ends justifies the means” is pure pathology. This is what the Left teaches, and that includes many of our kids’ kindergarten through college indoctrinators.
Is he still in good standing with the church?
Well the 20% that didn’t burn.
Why isn’t it a federal hate crime arrest?
They’d be calling for hang the honkie
if it was trailer trash.
“Nothing spells lovin’ like marrying your cousin” as Mike Chaney’s parents can attest to.
Just bringing back the old playbook from the 90’s when Clinton was running for President. All these church burnings and Clinton saying they would pay to have these churches fixed.
But we all knew who was responsible.
