Cross Burning in Washington
by TChris
It would be nice to believe that, at this point in our nation's history, we have put cross burning behind us. Sadly, two teenagers have been arrested in Arlington, Washington for setting fire to a cross in the yard of an African American pastor.
He moved his family to an upscale neighborhood in Arlington to give his seven kids a safe place to live. "We live here for the community, for the awesome environment, but something like this happens, it causes you to wonder 'where we're going?'" said [Pastor Jason] Martin.
A crowd of 500 people showed support for Pastor Martin by marching against racism Saturday.
