8. They are part of my Bernie sig line - stand for the four corners of the earth - because what we do

6. The Catholic diocese there is very active

in assisting the immigrant community. Perhaps the Baptist church is as well, and somebody is taking exception to their actions.

9. whats the count now in America? 800-900? churches bombed/arsoned by home grown terrorists?

10. The crime of attacks/ threats on churches should have mandatory 20 plus years in jail.

Even those confederate flag dumpers caught on camera, should face 10-20 years.
