Is LIFE typical for arson where no one was hurt?
Seriously, had it been a series of public toilets would anyone care?
Public toilets don't cost anywhere near the damage done to the churches. Public toilets don't have people attending them every week where they invest their lives, spend time with family & friends, share their beliefs, concerns & emotions.
Would question the Life recommendation if it had been homes they were burning? Probably not...
That had to be one of the ignorant & apathetic comments I've seen recently.
