normalnoises Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 Cross Burned at Black Man's Home in Wash.ARLINGTON, Wash. (AP) - A cross was burned on the front lawn of a black minister in the middle of the night following threats to his son at school. The 3-by-5-foot cross held together with duct tape was discovered about 2 a.m. Wednesday, Police Chief John L. Gray said. Firefighters doused the flames. Besides canvassing the neighborhood and increasing patrols there, police sent pieces of the cross to a State Patrol crime laboratory for testing. ``We want to hold the offenders accountable and send them the direct message that this is intolerable,'' Gray said. The Rev. Jason Martin, 38, pastor of a Pentecostal congregation in Marysville, said he moved into the neighborhood with his wife and six children 17 months ago. He said he wasn't afraid, but ``I'm very concerned for my children.'' Last year, he said, a student at Arlington High School threatened one of his sons by saying he would blow up the family's house, and last week someone deliberately drove a car over the lawn. ``I think it's because of race,'' he said. ``We're one of the only black families in this community.'' According to the 2000 census, slightly more than 1 percent of Arlington's 12,000 residents are black. High school teachers met to discuss the cross burning Wednesday, and students signed a poster in support of the family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
