The FIREBUG knows no ends and just pick and choose the targets, schools, police station, political office-
it’s all the hallmark method of a certain political scare tactic way, way back from 1962, if my memory serves me right- that is the Georgetown Fire for the younger ones who weren’t born then and the other fires that followed all over the country, even in Wismar where rape and murder reign supreme against East Indians.
