A few miles away from the Monday night mayhem and media presence in downtown Ferguson, a church was burned. It was a notable church, at least in the context of current events, in that it was attended by Michael Brown and his family — and its pastor has been very vocal in his defense of the deceased Missouri teen. And this story is unique in another way:
While the Ferguson looting and rioting caught on video has been a phenomenon of black criminals, Pastor Carlton Lee thinks his Flood Christian Church was burned by, as he put it, “white supremacists.”

What it is striking with those gangs of thugs it's that they loot and destroy mostly small shops and businesses. If their anger is against the "system", why do they not raid the headquarters of the state or local legislature, the seat of the state or local Justice Department, and the governor's mansion? That would be a much more coherent response to the message of "systemic discrimination". Of course, that would be far more dangerous and far less lucrative as well. I doubt the POTUS, the DOJ and the press lackeys would be as lenient then as they are when the victims are the others, the "popolo minuto".

As for the arson, I'm very skeptical. The child cried wolf one time too many.
