The coverage or lack thereof of that incident is in some ways more frightening than the incident itself. The only reason that much of the story has gotten out is because a reporter from one and only one local station managed to get to the victim and interview him. The police and other local news stations/papers were originally calling it a kitchen fire at later changed that to a suspicious fire after the interview came out. Meanwhile the victim is saying that two men dressed in black and wearing ski masks into his restaurant and torched him. Go figure... The only other thing I heard was that the perp(s) bought the gas from a nearby station and that there is surveillance picture of them, but this is rumor only. Maybe the police are just withholding information to help them solve the crime. And maybe an eyewitness account from the victim is not enough for the press to believe it is a legitimate story. After all the guy could have slipped and fell in a flaming puddle of grease in his kitchen and been to embarrassed to tell the truth <s> Also this is not the first attack in recent months on a Muslim or mistaken for Muslim person in the city and none of them have gotten much press and the word hate crime has never been mentioned. They are just random attacks that share the common trait of not having any apparent motive. Or at least no motive that is politcally correct to mention...
