Why does the bombing of the NC Trump HQ remind me of the Riechstag Fire ?

I hope I'm wrong but it can't help but think that. . .

Or they're going to blame it on the Moozlems. . .

The first lie they said was that it was local to where I am now in CA. The local news said it was here. Then CNN said it was in SC. Later I heard Microsoft NBC call them out on that lie. Then another media group said it was in NC. Why can they not tell the truth? Apparently this didn't happen, because if it did they would be able to get the story straight.

So he's slinging volatile mud. The media loves that.

Hope they find the culprit asap.

No matter what, something like this is scary. I am glad nobody was killed. Were there injuries?
