Minnesota synagogue fire doesn't appear to be a hate crime

[IsraelNationalNews] A fire that destroyed a historic synagogue in northeastern Minnesota last week does not appear to have been a hate crime, authorities said Sunday, according to The Associated Press.
"Some people did something"
Matthew James Amiot, 36, of Duluth, was arrested Friday in the fire last week at the Adas Israel Congregation in downtown Duluth.

The city’s police chief, Mike Tusken, said at a news conference on Sunday that he has no reason to believe the fire was a hate crime, although the investigation is ongoing.

Police are recommending that prosecutors charge Amiot, who has no permanent address, with first-degree arson. A criminal complaint is expected to be filed mid-week, he said.

#2 Not a hate crime? Well, what was the motive? A drunken or drugged-out spree?

#3 Well, what was the motive?

Given that the gentleman “has no permanent address”, JohnQC, my guess is that he needs medicating.

#4 Once again, the proximate cause us copycattism.

We really need to stop publicizing these events, or at least publicizing details about the perpetrators of such crimes. Treat them the way we treat suicides: deny 'glory' or fame to the perp, and watch as copycat behavior declines sharply.

#5 Looks like a patsy to me. The real culprit is obviously a ward of Omar, a guerilla by night and BDS fucker of some kind.
