Jackson, Sharpton and Bakersville Offer Over $1 Million for Capture and Killing of Arsonist

Today, in the small town of Bakersville, Mississippi, Reverend Jesse Jackson proposed a $1 million reward for the capture and killing of the individuals responsible for burning down the churches in Alabama.

This suggestion came during a surprise visit to a community church.

"Those who would damn themselves by burning down the holy houses of God should be tortured by the fires of Hell," exclaimed Jackson while speaking from the pulpit.

The surprise visit was brought on by the community holding a fish fry fund raiser to help track down the arsonists responsible for the nine churches that have been destroyed.

Local leaders put out a $500,000 reward for the capture of the criminals but local church figures thought the figure was much to low.

Both Reverend Jackson and Reverend Sharpton have agreed to match the community's funding which has already acquired $250,000.

In a local TV news interview Jackson also included, "We're going to show those that are non tolerate of us that we mean business."

The shit would hit the fan, that's what would happen.

And today's news leads with some members of the 'religion of peace' burning down the Italian consulate in Libya.
