were ordered held on church arson charges

Is that distinct from ordinary arson?

Arson a joke? For college students? They need educating on their "sense of humor."

What's funny about setting fire to five buildings? Either these kids are complete morons, or there's more to this than they're lettin' on (or both).

Joke? I think not. These kids were up to more than laughs. Maybe a thrill, but look deeper in to their backgrounds. Could be even more.

Why do I think there's an angle to this story that we'll probably not see in the MSM and if we do it will only be briefly. I'm referring to a leftist inspired act.

It opens them up to possible "hate" crimes as well.

Could be. The Feds didn't get involved just for fun. There might be some "civil rights era" reactive law which distinguishes between mere arson and torching of a church by arson.

I know Clinton's stories of numerous church arsons in his childhood were bogus but there is a stigma over church arsons especially in the South.

Wasn't Condoleeza Rice's church burned when she was a child?

When I heard they were letting retards into college, I didn't believe it. This story appears to be proof of it, however. Hang 'em high.

Ha ha. Funny. Here's another "joke" for you jokers:

Sic semper arsonists.

Don't think that is funny enough? Then try this...PLEASE! Fulfill my desire, and do us all a favor.

Look like the're going to have to finish their degrees via correspondence courses. At least their parents will save on dorm fees. ;~((

A joke. Uh-huh.

I guess they would find it hysterically funny if someone set fire to their parents house.

I am so glad these guys were over 18. Their next jokes will be performed in the State Dept. of Corrections. They can be tough comedy critics. ;o)
