Roy Moore accuser Tina Johnson lost her home Tuesday in a fire that is now under investigation by the Etowah County Arson Task Force.

Tina Johnson, who first came to public notice for accusing Senate candidate Roy Moore of grabbing her in his office in the early 1990s, said her home on Lake Mary Louise Road in Gadsden caught fire Tuesday morning.

After neighbors and some utility workers called 911 shortly after 8 a.m. Tuesday, the Lookout Mountain Fire Department responded to the scene. By the time the flames were extinguished, Johnson and her family had lost everything they owned.

Nobody appears to have been harmed in the blaze; Johnson and her husband were at work, and her grandson was at school.

6. 8 a.m.

On one of the first days where it got really cold.

I'm going to not rush to judgment on this. (Esp. since my judgment is really pointless.)

2. GOP terrorism!

Is what organized crime does. Still too early to be sure, but sure reeks of political terrorism.

3. This is why everyone that complains

about accusers staying anonymous needs to shut the fuck up.

12. Don't.

No one needs to shut the fuck up about why a feminist choir member's anonymous story needs to be taken seriously along with all the Trump humpers who came forward with their bullshit. Because the point isn't and never was that no one can understand why anyone would want to remain anonymous. Particularly those who are accusing men who support the frigging KKK. Enough with the bullshit false equivalencies.

5. Furious, fucking FURIOUS

7. And people wonder why women are scared to come forward....

8. wow.

i hope someone gets caught for this.

[Ilsa]

9. I hope the arsonist goes to prison for life.

This isn't about a six-figure financial crime, but intimidation of victims and witnesses who dare come forward. The penalty needs to be extra rigorous.

10. So do I. He could have killed them and that was most likely his intent.

No tolerance for people like this.

11. "Nobody appears to have been harmed in the blaze"?

Maybe not physically harmed...but it's definitely going to do a number on your head to get burned out of house and home.
