In a non-surprising plot-twist, a black man was arrested on December 21st of 2016 for the arson of a black Church in Greenville, Mississippi that was originally thought to be a racially and/or politically motivated act. The original incident happened on November 1st of 2016 - days before the Presidential Election which ushered in Donald J. Trump as President #45. Hopewell Baptist Church appeared to have been fire-bombed either from the inside or the outside. Outside the actual church on a broad brick wall, the words “Vote Trump” were scrawled in what appeared to be white spray paint. Of course, this was instantly seen by many in the media and general public as a hate crime from a crazy Trump supporter, even there was no evidence of any suspects or motive at the time.
From the beginning, the situation looked fishy. Suspect. Why would a person burn a black church - destroying the inside completely - only to write something in favor of another person? Logically, if someone commits a hate crime, the message they leave will also be hateful. It would match. Just like the firebombing incident that happened at the GOP local office in North Carolina. There was evidence of some type of accelerant thrown through the glass window of the building which torched the inside. Then there was anti-Republican graffiti found nearby. Rather than a positive message to fulfill your one’s civic duty to vote for a particular individual.
It’s not quite clear who the alleged arsonist Andrew McClinton is. What’s known about him so far is that he was 45 and lives in Greenville. He was also a member of the church. So the question is, why would a black man burn his own home church down? Maybe he is a firebug who wanted attention indirectly by writing the “vote Trump” message on the side of the church after he burned it. A degenerate pyromaniac. Or maybe he was in on a scam with the people who own and/or run the church. It could have been in disrepair or failing, so a last ditch effort to try and draw blood from a stone would be to torch it and hope for insurance money to kick in …. or to stage a hoax and get GoFundMe money online from gullible good samaritans. Which is exactly what happened, the latter part that is. They were able to raise $250,000 in just a matter of days.
The incident has happened nearly two months ago now and the GoFundMe was up shortly after that. So I doubt the money (largely raised by conservatives) would be able to returned if fraud was discovered. At the end of the day, this is just one more example of fraud being committed by the left in order to make the right look bad - and to pad money into their own pockets. I’m looking at you, Jill Stein.
