I just saw something on CNN about 14-17 fires in Coatesville ,Pa.
They believe all were arson , and the ATF was brought in to investigate.
Of cause they did not say these were possible racially motivated, but a picture tells a thousand words.............There were Black People who were left homeless !!!
They are trying to imply that these are gang initiations..................
Which gang might that be the KKKlan ???

COATESVILLE, Pa. (AP) — Officials in Pennsylvania say the latest in a series of suspicious fires has damaged 15 homes in a suburb of Philadelphia and local officials have declared a state of emergency.
Coatesville City Manager Harry said Sunday officials believe it was a case of arson.
At least 30 arsons have been reported in Coatesville since the beginning of last year, about half of them in the last three weeks.
Police said the blazes may be part of a gang initiation but there is no clear information who is committing the crimes or why.
The latest blaze broke out late Saturday in a block of row houses.
Authorities said at a news conference early Sunday that most of the fires have been started on rear porches where residents store trash cans.
Here is some history on Coatesville:
In 1911, the lynching in Coatesville of Zachariah Walker, a black man who killed a white mill policeman, prompted the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) to investigate and called for an end to lynching nationwide. Walker was dragged from a hospital, still chained to his bed, and burned to death in front of thousands of witnesses in a field south of the city[1]. A memorial service one year later was attended by two people, according to a contemporary Harper's Weekly.
