"It originated with Chinamen." Not sure how someone can be a Christian and see nothing wrong with using racial slurs.

@Born Again....I'm on your side. I agree with you. If people would just learn history properly they'd understand what you are saying. Hell is alot hotter. I pray for people all the time. It's good she survived, but I worry about her soul.

@bornagain2 "thank god modern laws prevaled and christians are not using religion to rule a country any more." Not sure where you live but here in Texas- pretty boy Rick DOES use his religious beliefs to govern. And I disagree with another portion of your comment. " Christians used to burn people at the stake for being witches " Nooooo...Christians burned people alive being accused of practicing witchcraft- modern laws did not prevail- common sense sunk in.

It's quite possible he was checking for witchcraft. Apparently she is not a witch; thankfully she survived.

I have issued several warnings about this type of behavior. It originated with Chinamen who were only burning up themselves at first. Later they began to burn up others and to threaten to burn up still more and now it has spread to this country. This is not the first incident of burning people that we have seen of late. We will have to be vigilant. There is no telling what this could lead to.
