Let's see.
The neighborhoods targeted all have large numbers of whites who are overwhelmingly liberal, most have large numbers of Jews, some have sizeable Hispanic populations, many have sizeable immigrant populations, and all have at least sizeable gay populations (some have very large gay populations).

So we can assume the group of people doing this hates liberal whites, Jews, Latinos, immigrants, and gays.

That might be a clue as to who they are.

I have a friend who thinks terrorists could easily burn down most of the US with large drums of gasoline, especially this summer, the West will be a tinderbox.

I would hope not, tamiznluv. I have never heard of a serial arsonist. As one poster said further above, It could be racially motivated,(Due to the demographics of the neighborhood.) Or the person is a pyromaniac that gets pleasure out of the fires burning. This disorder is rare though.

As I said in other tru Crime threads, It's incredible how much destruction one person can cause.

IMO...To much work for a terrorist, their methods are clever.

When they strike, Americans will once again wonder how our country could have left themselves wide open for catastrophic events. Like 911 and Osama right out in the open for years.

In a free society we will remain vunerable...but we must give the gov't some credit for keeping us safe for the past 10 years...Bin Laden was being safeguarded by a foreign government(Pakistan) which the US never suspected and hiding in plain sight...our informants were telling us he was in some cave somewhere being protected by a loyal handful of people!

I don't think that this is the work of a pyromanaic. Just someone out causing trouble. Pyro's like to start one fire, and watch the destruction, they rarely set many fires, because it is difficult to leave the first fire set, the thrill is in watching it get bigger, and how could you tear yourself away just when it is getting exciting?

Thats what they said.

I don't think the US believed it, I certainly didn't.

Don't want to go off topic here.
