A Mississippi church in the midst of a legal battle to stay open despite local shutdown orders was burned to the ground early Wednesday morning. According to first responders, the First Pentecostal Church of Holly Springs was vandalized and suffered a large explosion to the back of the church.

"The incident is being investigated as a criminal act of arson."

But not as a hate crime? Must be a mostly-white church.

Maybe but always check the insurance policy, are they delinquent on other bills but the insurance is all paid up? Obvious misspelings are seem to be a sign of a hoax.

If it had been a black church the FBI would already have a white supremacist in custody. Love your name!

It’d be interesting to see what churches would remain closed forever if the government never gives permission to open up again.

Arson is not a family value.

Anyone know where the head of the “Southern Poverty Law Center” was at the time this happened?

“Obvious misspelings are seem to be a sign of a hoax.”

Also pay attention to the locality. Racist stuff scrawled on a deep blue progressive college campus? Maybe not put there by actual racists.

Anti-church stuff scrawled on a church in the heart of the Bible belt? Maybe not put there by actual atheists.

I think we have a few of those kinds of hoaxers posting on FR. They pretend to be illiterate. Most likely they post under two or more names and the “retard” posts are done so nobody can connect with other posts by the same person.

You can bet dollars to donuts it would be investigated as a hate crime if it were a Mosque.

The left and our gov’t (wouldn’t surprise me if the local gov’t did it either) is totally depraved & evil.
