Arrest in the Alabama church fires

The Associated Press is reporting that two young men have been arrested and a third person is being sought in the string of church arsons that destroyed or damaged nine rural churches in Alabama last month.

It'll be interesting to hear what motivated these crooks.

To quote Matt Drudge - DEVELOPING! (Sorry, I don't have a flashing blue light)

UPDATE: There are now three people arrested in this case. All three are college students who say it started as a joke and just got out of hand. I guess I just have a different sense of humor because I don't get the joke. Reports I've seen say they will not be charged with a hate crime since the burned down both predominantly white and predominantly black churches. That just demonstrates the stupidity of "hate crime" legislation. These crimes (like most crimes) were definitely hateful acts. Prosecute criminals for their actions. Don't prosecute differently based on a perception of their motive.
