Actually, they do more than ATF, they also do E, which is my guess on why they're investigating.

ATF is a tax agency. churches are tyax exempt.

ATF is a federal agency.  Church arsons may be violations of federal civil rights laws.

ATF is in charge of explosives.firebombings are possible"explosives"

The ATF has resources that no Podunk FD or PD can bring to a scene.  Even in bigger cities the ATF will be called in to assist in any large dollar loss fires.

They aren't always out to get us.

The ATF was long out of the picture by the time the FBI burned out the Davidians.

Molotov Cocktail= Destructive Device. ATF has the mission to investigate the use in a crime of an NFA weapon.

Boot the BATF!

They are/were very good at arson and postblast investigations. Much better than the FBI or any local agency in the country IMO.


This is just another stunt trying to justify the existance of the ATF.


THIS JUST IN.

The BATF(E) has only been doing this for about 20-30 years. Glad you finally noticed.

ATF runs some very good arson investigation schools.  They have done these types of investigations for a long time.

My experience has been that the arson and licensing folks are ok but the enforcement guys are dicks.

BTW if you are undercover try not having a crewcut and an untucked loose shirt while standing next to another guy dressed the same way.
