This story is a toxic brew of anti-Christianity, mental illness, and overall lawlessness in a far-left city. Last week, biological male pretending to be female allegedly burned down a historic church in Portland because he was hearing voices in his head.
On Tuesday, January 3 around 5:30 PM, Cameron David Storer, who goes by “Nicolette Fait,” allegedly destroyed the historic 117 -year-old Portland Korean Church. He explained later to investigators that voices in his head would “mutilate” him if did not commit the crime.
Here is a video of the arson:
Full story from Andy Ngo (slightly edited for biological accuracy):
“An arson attack that destroyed a 117-year-old church in downtown Portland, Oregon, this week has become a symbol of disorder in the city.”
“Cameron David Storer, a biological male also known as “Nicolette Fait,” was arrested following an investigation by the Portland Fire & Rescue Fire Investigations Unit. The 27-year-old is charged with two counts of first-degree arson, one count of second-degree arson, and two counts of second-degree burglary — all felonies.”
“According to prosecutors, Storer walked into the Multnomah County Detention Center and confessed to setting the church on fire using a lighter.”
“Storer stated that he heard voices in his head saying he would ‘mutilate’ Storer if he did not burn the church down and that he had planned it up to one day in advance,” said the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office in a press release. Storer allegedly told investigators he was taking oxycodone and had a history of mental illness.”
“Fire crews responded to sky-high flames that had consumed the historic Portland Korean Church in downtown around 5:30 p.m. Jan. 3. The Protestant church was built in 1905 and was previously known as the First German Evangelical Church. The church had remained unused for a number of years after its congregation moved to a suburb.”
“The large fire required 12 fire engines, six ladder trucks, four battalion chiefs and 75 firefighters.”
What remains of the church’s charred steeple could collapse at any moment, according to the fire department, which blocked off the area pending a demolition. The church had previously been damaged in a 2020 fire and was routinely illegally occupied by squatters.
“The suspect was arraigned on Thursday afternoon and prosecutors asked that Storer be denied bail. Storer did not appear to enter a plea, according to court documents.”
As noted by The Blaze, radical left individuals have routinely targeted Christian churches in Portland. These sick people have undoubtedly been emboldened by Portland’s lawless crime policies which have allowed Antifa to occupy major parts of the city.
Examples of such attacks include the vandalization of four Catholic Churches in the summer 2021 and First Christian Church had its windows shattered in April 2021. The anti-religious violence is so bad that Mormon congregants abandoned the Portland Stake Tabernacle and fled the state.
We also have a serious mental health crisis in America that members of both parties have ignored for years. When you combine bigotry, soft-on-crime policies, and untreated mental conditions, these crimes will routinely occur.
The solutions will not be found in Portland or any other Democrat-run hellhole, however. The only hope lies with conservatives.
