It's a common refrain on political yard signs this time of year. But someone took their fervor for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump to another level at a black church in Mississippi, authorities say.

Vandals set the Hopewell Baptist Church in Greenville ablaze and scrawled the words "Vote Trump" in crude, white spray paint across the outside of the building Tuesday night.

There were no reports of injuries.

Because it's an African-American church, the FBI is working "with our local, state and federal law enforcement partners to determine if any civil rights crimes were committed," said a statement from the FBI's office in Jackson, the state capital.

This crap just makes me sick to my stomach.

We have an update to this story.

Mississippi church member charged in ‘Vote Trump’ arson-AP

 

[hydrophilic attack]

[SpaceWolf]

"This'll get em on our side!"

 

[Litan]

Mississippi.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Literal Mississippi Burning shit. I can't believe this is what the year 2016 looks like. That's fucking appalling.

 

[Syder]

I'm speechless.

I hope they catch these motherfuckers.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

What fucking year is it?

 

[IamDodongo]

Holy shit!

 

[Timedog]

Will trump say the words "right wing terrorist"

 

[The Jackdog]

so whats the message they were trying to send here?

Vote trump SO he'll burn down more of your churches?
Vote trump or we'll burn down MORE churches?
Vote trump because fire looks metal as fuck?

How do these morons think this will help their cause?

oh wait, they are morons.

 

[LifEndz]

He tapped into something that had been repressed a long time. Thank god no one was physically hurt.

 

[Gnome Scat]

Well that's telling.

 

[Poltergust]

This brings to mind the firebombing of the GOP HQ in NC (was anyone ever caught for that?).

This is not OK on any front.

 

[Lemaitre]

Some things never change.

 

[Yaphett Kotto]

Mississippi.

Exactly.

I feel like they're trying to say if Trump gets elected it's open season for buying down historically black churches.

That might appeal to fellow deplorables.

 

[BitStyle]

Deplorable stuff.
The rise of Trump has really brought some terrible people out of the woodwork

 

[SwiftDeath]

He tapped into something that had been repressed a long time. Thank god no one was physically hurt.

Eh I dunno how repressed it is

From June of 2015, Another Black Church Burns in the South, the 8th in 10 Days

Huh actually these burnings were like the week after Trump announced his candidacy? Not that I think it's directly related mind you but interesting nonetheless

 

[mike6467]

Saw this a few minutes ago and was waiting for the thread. So fucked up.

Don't read the comments on these stories. God, the 8th can't come soon enough. I know it won't go away after that, but it has to get better, right?....Right??

 

[Cyan]

So Trump voters are going to start a gofundme to repair any damage to the church now, right?

[Demoskinos]

I wonder if they realize they are just making trump look worse by doing this? I guess actually the better question would be do they even care.

Joey Salads here with another BLM social experiment we are gonna see how black people react when their church is set on fire like subscribe and comment below.

 

[Auto_aim1]

This doesn't make sense at all. What were they trying to accomplish?

 

[studyguy]

Twitter all about shouting false flags now saying Dems burned down the church.

Racism isn't going away but at least the election is done in a week.

This doesn't make sense at all. What were they trying to accomplish?

Racism doesn't have to make sense.

 

[Mass Effect]

Mississippi.

came in here to say exactly this. MS is god-awful.

and yeah, I know it's not *just* Mississippi. In fact, I fully expect to see more like this after election day.

[Syder]

If Brexit is anything to go by, bigots having their views vindicated by an election does lead to an increase in hate crime.

 

[The Jackdog]

I just wish i could open up the brain of one of these people and see how the thoughts connect.

Burn Down Black Church Because Other Candidate Did Some Stuff With Emails

[The Jackdog]

But hey, fucking emails rite?

i know they HAVE TO say its still an investigation, but that sentence to me reads "we are still looking at the sky to determine if it is indeed blue on sunny days"

 

[studyguy]

Also Trump was quick to shoot from the hip on this one.

he will never acknowledge news that could make him look bad, and if he does he will pretend he didnt
