White supremacist engulfed in flames after pouring petrol on synagogue

Tristan Morgan splashed fuel through a window at Exeter Synagogue but took the full blast of the explosion in his face




VIDEO:




Far-right extremist Tristan Morgan, who set fire to a synagogue on a day commemorating the Holocaust, has been locked up in hospital indefinitely.

He laughed after he set fire to the synagogue in Exeter, Devon, the Old Bailey heard.

Morgan, from the city, was set on fire by the blast after he poured petrol into a window of the 18th Century building on 21 July 2018.

Just proves that the people who remain so bigoted are almost always very stupid people.

But they will take real good care of him in the British correctional system! Probably better medical care than we have.

What was that Lennon sang about? Something like 'instant karma.'

Yep.

Read he was still unrepentant in the hospital and hoped that the synagogue had burned to the ground.

Nut job.
