On fire for Jesus!

View image
Somebody sure is. Fires burn 4 more Alabama churches.

Round 2:
Dancy First Baptist Church near Aliceville
Spring Valley Baptist Church near Emelle
Morning Star Missionary Baptist Church near Boligee
Galilee Baptist in Panola

Round 1, last week:
Ashby Baptist Church in Brierfield
Rehobeth Baptist Church in Randolph
Pleasant Sabine near Centreville
Old Union Baptist in Brierfield
Antioch Baptist in Antioch
New Harmony Holiness Baptist in Fairview (under construction)

The fires were set "as fast as they could drive from one location to the next," Bibb County Chief Deputy Sheriff Kenneth Weems said of the cluster of blazes.

Studying the Alabama road map closer, looks as if anyone with much knowledge of W. Alabama roads could've done this in roughly an hour, each time. Could've come from Tuscaloosa, possibly Birmingham, the first time; the second time maybe Tuscaloosa, Columbus or Meridian, MS.

It could be someone local, or at least familiar enough with the area to blend in. Could be someone passing through. But I suspect we haven't seen the last fire.

So where's Homeland Security now? Or does it not work on domestic terrorists?
