        My favorite is when they become libraries.

        They start as buildings for a weird book club who keep reading bits of the same book over and over. Then, they transition to centers of learning and public investment. Big win.

          I don’t think most communities need a library every 5 to 10 blocks, or 2+ at one intersection like churches seem to be in the US.

    The FBI is also investigating.

    “We take all potential bias-motivated incidents seriously,” the FBI said.

    Yep. Sure.

    “The burning cross is widely considered to be a symbol of racist hatred.”

    That or someone is getting tired of religious oppression. Or making a statement about the overwhelming number of fake Christians in America. Or that we’re violating our Constitution by giving preferential treatment to certain religions in our politics.
