Episode Details

A Guyanese immigrant facing federal charges for a string of firebombings targeting Muslim-owned businesses and places of worship in Brooklyn and Queens admits to acting out of hate, calling victims “scum and terrorists.” Investigators believe he’s responsible for at least seven arson attacks since late June, including one where he allegedly asked if a church should be turned into a mosque before hurling a Molotov cocktail. He’s also accused of prior violent threats — including waving an ax and threatening to chop someone’s head off — and was in the country illegally after losing DACA protections. No injuries occurred in the latest attacks, but his history and alleged motives make this a deeply troubling case as authorities investigate whether religious bias fueled the violence.
