RADICAL BIGOT ALERT: Paul Addis, San Francisco Church Bomber

Why is bigotry so dangerous? Bigotry doesn't always stop with words. Sometimes, it leads to violence. Paul Addis is a great example of bigotry gone awry.

This is what the Associated Press reported on this event:

A San Francisco performance artist charged with prematurely torching the Burning Man festival's namesake effigy has now been arrested on suspicion of trying to set fire to the historic Grace Cathedral.

San Francisco police say they caught Paul Addis Sunday night on the top steps of the cathedral with an ammunition belt of small explosives strapped around his waist.

It seems that this isn't the first time that Mr. Addis has used fire to try and make a point. He was also accused of prematurely torching the Burning Man festival's namesake effigy.

Anyone who doesn't understand the significance of burning down a church, is a bigot. Welcome to the club Paul.
