Firefighter Charged With Arson, Blames Black Lives Matter
Welcome to Trump's America!
In a word, WTF?
An Endicott NY firefighter allegedly set his house on fire in August, with his wife and two teenagers asleep, after setting an obstacle course of gasoline traps around the house.
Written on the outside wall was an anti-police message that reads, "Lie with pigs, fry like bacon."
WBNG reported that the house also had a "Blue Lives Matter" flag flying out front.
Broome County District Attorney Steve Cornwell confirmed the statement was written and believes Stokes wrote the message to help cover up his crime.
"That statement to me is absolutely despicable," he said. "It fuels a false narrative when it comes to the work that police officers do. "
Jason Stokes, 41, pleaded not guilty to the charges.
