Summary: A series of allegedly targeted fires have been cited through Jehovah Witness' halls in Washington state county since March, the 5th set early Friday morning. In May, someone shot 35 rounds into a Kingdom Hall, a place of worship for them. No suspect has been identified. “How frustrating is it that people who find a solemn place of worship — now it’s being destroyed,” says Thurston Country Sheriff John Snaza. The Christian denomination offers a strict, literal interpretation of the Bible requiring members to separate from society and forgo birthdays, holidays, the pledge of allegiance, and voting.

Analysis: this article was written by Tim Stelloh, 1 day ago, at 8:55 PM. This article is not breaking news, it summarizes the sequence of many events to the present. I had no idea this was happening, it's pretty not important to report. I can connect these attacks to the attacks towards Mormons, their leader Joseph Smith was killed in them. They're both religions that aren't very accepted with the majority of the public. This article was written towards Jehovah's Witnesses. This article was written, because it's ongoing and the suspects are still out there. This article is important because their freedom of religion was breached, something very important in the bill of rights. I do not agree with their views, but this targeting is very unacceptable.
