    “The burning cross is widely considered to be a symbol of racist hatred.”

    That or someone is getting tired of religious oppression. Or making a statement about the overwhelming number of fake Christians in America. Or that we’re violating our Constitution by giving preferential treatment to certain religions in our politics.

    The FBI is also investigating.

    “We take all potential bias-motivated incidents seriously,” the FBI said.

    Yep. Sure.

        My favorite is when they become libraries.

        They start as buildings for a weird book club who keep reading bits of the same book over and over. Then, they transition to centers of learning and public investment. Big win.

          I don’t think most communities need a library every 5 to 10 blocks, or 2+ at one intersection like churches seem to be in the US.
