no one has ever burnt down a church that was built in 1920 until now
Lol thats a lie

@Marylee Macpherson lies troll
I think i can catch your sarcasm.
@BubberGroves try lol the facts show nobody burns churches at least not in North America
Seems like these are getting more common.
“The public sucks” GC
How sick and heart breaking
Becoming a trend now
A poster on another news site who sounds as if she is a local citizen and knowledgeable of the neighborhood reports that developers wanted the empty building condemned so that they could develop the property but the city wasn’t going for it. She is sure that the owners hired someone to burn it down. Whether they anticipated burning the church down or not is another question. That the fire trucks arrived 3 minutes after the call came in and the buildings were already engulfed in flames sounds like a propellent was used.
Exactly, historic buildings are protected from demolition by profiteering landowners unless it’s destroyed by a fire, that’s why there’s a long history of arson paid for by landlords and real-estate developers to clear out rent controlled apts and historic buildings to replace them with more profitable luxury high-rises. No crazy tin-foil hat conspiracies needed, just simple greed, a economic practice almost as old as the city itself.
It’s hard to believe that this is an accident.. The Government/politician/health officials are behind this.
@Kenneth Chesney It’s hard to believe that this is an accident.. The Government/politician/health officials are behind this.
@RoomofCybertron You have a point, wear a hat maybe no one will notice.
It’s getting hard to believe these are all accidents.
What’s with the stupid music?
2+2=5

Deblasio’s homeless building camp fires inside abandoned buildings next to a church.

3 building i seen that before
I’ve seen this happen to an old church in Canada. First thing that comes to mind is upgraded sprinkler systems. It’s 2020 and this DEFINETLY could have been avoided to such a gorgeous church ;(
We all know what organization did this!
It’s probably Martin Luther with his nail and hammer 🔨
Is this a wildfire? 💁🐝
Did someone start this fire???? Wow so sad …🤔🙏
