Last night I saw 2 white guys set a fire on W Florissant. Today a church burns. Pastor believes it to be KKK nbcnews.com/storyline/mich… #opKKKFeds Probing Arson of MichaelBrown Sr.'s Church
Federal investigators are looking into an arson fire that burned the Missouri church where Michael Brown's father was baptized over the weekend.
"This is a slow and painstaking process," said John Ham, a spokesman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, which is working with a local task force on the case.
Flood Christian Church was torched Monday night after the announcement that a grand jury had voted not to indict Officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of unarmed teen Michael Brown Jr.
The church went up in flames around the same time about a dozen other buildings were set ablaze in Ferguson by protesters angered by the grand jury's decision, but it's on a remote section of West Florissant Avenue where other structures were unscathed.
"The police called me and told me the church was on fire," the Rev. Carlton Lee said. "I was in complete disbelief. I didn't think anyone would set a church on fire.
"I feel like one of my children has died. I put my blood, my sweat, my tears into this church, getting this church built from the ground up. To see that it was taken down in a few minutes is really heartbreaking."
He said he told Michael Brown Sr. about the extensive damage on Tuesday afternoon. "He was just devastated again," he said.
The pastor said he doubted the same people who were raging on the other end of West Florissant had burned his church. Instead, he said, he suspected white supremacists who wanted to punish him for his support of the Brown family, who had just been baptized there.
"Sunday, we do the baptism, Monday, the church is one fire. It just doesn't add up," he said.
He said Brown had pledged his help in repairing the damage.
"We rebuild," Lee said. "We do not stop."
but he's not a racist...
For whatever reason, out of all the civilian injustices by cops to black males this year, Ferguson caught fire.
I know when they first broke, Occupy Wall Street, was split into two camps as with many issues on this board.
However, I had NO idea about this that is planned for tomorrow...
For whatever reason, out of all the civilian injustices by cops to black males this year, Ferguson caught fire.
I wonder if the media will be at select colleges and universities...

Power structure of oppression
I did not think it could be that simple, but as I contemplate, that really may have been/be the difference.Because the local community rallied around the issue.
If teachers, professors, and administrators become involved, possibly.probably might be a bunch of ppl losing their jobs tomorrow if they participate..
