Roy Moore accuser's home burns down in possible arson by Deplorable

The home of a woman who had accused Senate candidate Roy Moore of groping her burned down in what is being investigated as possible arson, local media reported Friday.

Tina Johnson, who said in November that Moore grabbed her rear end in his office in 1991, reported that her home in Gadsden, Alabama, had caught fire on Tuesday, according to AL.com. The local fire department was able to put out the blaze but not before Johnson’s home and belongings were destroyed.

...

“I am devastated, just devastated,” Johnson told AL.com Friday morning. “We have just the clothes on our backs.”

Johnson, her husband and her grandson, who all lived in the house, were not home when the fire broke out, prompting their neighbors to phone it in.

Certainly not in that link you attached and not in anything else I have read.

The only thing I have seen about any suspect is a nuisance who had been hanging around the neighborhood.


Seems unnecessarily inflammatory and incorrect unless you have new information.

If you believe burning down someone's home isn't (D)eplorable behavior there is nothing I can do to disabuse you of that notion.

In my best Al Gore voice, "no need to get snippy."





Again, if you believe burning down someone's home isn't (D)eplorable behavior there is nothing I can do to disabuse you of that notion.



P.S. Deplorables are people who act deplorably. Burning down the home of one of Roy Moore's accusers is deplorable.
