A reader sent me this today from Facebook.
A 21 year old man has been charged with arson in three of the burnings and it is being evaluated by authorities as a hate crime. He’s being held without bond.
He is not Isis or an immigrant. He is white and the son of a deputy sheriff.
St. Mary Baptist Church, which is in Port Barre, was the first church burned, on March 26/ The Greater Union Baptist Church in Opelousas burned a week later. On April 4, a fire destroyed Mount Pleasant Baptist Church on Highway 182 south of Opelousas.
No one was killed. This time.
