that it must have been throw "in the wee hours."

Unless the caller was present when it happened how did he/she know it was a firebomb?

fosters kitties and admitted it over the phone. He also apparently lives near there, across the street maybe? The wee hours comment was him saying something to the effect of "my cats weren't around so it must have been in the wee hours". He says something about them going out in the middle of the night.

I believe this may have been a false flag, and I don't think it was a Democrat who did it, but this guy had a sense of urgency in his voice that makes me think he was genuine.

5. Yeah, it could be. These voices are distorted, aren't they?

I think two women are talking. I'm not sure. One calls the other 'Hon.'

His business is two doors down from the NC GOP HQ. On Google Street View the business in there was a balloon and party supply business.

12. She knows it was "some type of incinerator device"

And swears that she can smell accelerant, even though the fire is out.

I smell fish, not smoke, but I'm a paranoid lunatic, so what would I know?

it must have been in the wee hours. I thought maybe the cats went out in the middle of the night to do what cats do. I couldn't figure out how she knew her cats weren't there, though. Maybe because they would have woken her with their meowing if there was a fire?

But he did it. How else would he know that the building was firebombed? And that the person who did it did a poor job because it did not burn down completely?

He is probably explaining lots of things to a Federal agent as we speak.

I have called in two burning buildings in my life. I never used the term firebomb!
