Attempt to torch MLK birth home

Sometimes it takes awhile for stuff to come out.

I was wondering about it too. But its not totally surprising that nothing has been released this soon.

She has to lawyer up, or be assigned a lawyer by the state. We dont even know if she has admitted to the crime, much less given a motive, nor made any confession.

We may hafta wait until ...the verdict (guilty, innocent, or not guilty by reason of insanity) before the public is informed. Or we could hear about it tomorrow.

Even when police are tight-lipped we usually get a reasonably good idea of motive because the media interviews the suspect's friends and family, finds deleted social media posts, get the person's work and school history which is publically available. None of that seems to have been done here. I suspect that is because the suspect is black. When the story first broke it screamed hate crime. That is why we heard about it in the first place. When it emerged the suspect is black the story was no longer 'sexy". Another important reason the story is not "sexy" is that nobody got hurt or killed, and no damage was done. She was prevented from lighting the gasoline she poured on the porch.
