Yes we know, they also burn churches.

Glad the FBI and ATF are investigating.

Yes, I remember the thread on the burning of black churches that the FBI determined to be accidental.

This outrage spurred by misinformation and perceived injustice is what has put a bullseye on the backs of innocent cops around the country today.

When these turn out to be hoaxes, the correction receives a fraction of the exposure the original, so the damage is done. For example, the hate crime hoax of Charlie Rogers at Huffington Post originally received 3000 shares to Facebook and 1000 comments, before it was discovered this was a hoax she pulled on herself. The correction about it being a hoax at Huffington Post was shared on Facebook less than 50 times. Very few of the originally outraged people -- nor the people who read the false story on their friends' Facebook pages -- ever found out this was a hoax.

The damage was done -- the outrage has been spread, regardless that it was all fake.

And...all of the campus racism hoaxes. Oberlin, Occidental, etc.
And...all of the racist/homophobic restaurant receipt hoaxes.
And...the NAACP "bombing" hoax.
All of Rachel Dolezal's accusations, hoaxes.
Duke Lacrosse, UVA, Mattress Girl, etc.

This one might be true. But, there's a chance...

Some were accidental does not equate to all.


This was arson and there were several hundred protestors there a few days before the bombing, it could be someone that just hates clinics but seems a rather large coincidence.

Seems like PP has some really bad luck.

They might be able to recover the outside video of the night of the fire.

Yep. Lots of churches burn for insurance fraud.
