I guess the narrative collapsed too quickly for it to catch fire. (Did you see what I did there?) Suspect arrested after 7 fires set across Mississippi capital city, including at churches and field at Jackson State University
Though to be fair, there is (at least) one article on CNN on the arrest of this guy.
When two black churches were burned, I guess the twitterati immediately jumped on "those evil white people are to blame" bandwagon. That bandwagon hit a speedbump a couple of hours later when a black man was arrested.
After a search that lasted several hours, the Hinds County Sheriff's Office announced Tuesday afternoon that they had arrested Devin McLaurin in connection with the arsons. They did not provide any information about McLaurin's motivation. A spokesperson for the Jackson Police Department said he is being charged with felony malicious mischief. He is being questioned by Federal Bureau of Investigation agents and may face additional charges.
That was apparently followed by everyone moving on to the next thing.
This is Ruined Leon's video: Black Churches Get Burned Down & Twitter Blames The Whites Again. Leon never fails to entertain, and he usually has a good point to make. The video is 8 minutes, so grab a coffee.
