Arsonist Strikes on Cape Cod, Leaves Calling Card: 'F--k the Rich'

I blame the class warfare rhetoric of the Democrats for these incidents of arson. Maybe if the left didn't demonize wealthy people so much they wouldn't stoke such hatred in their supporters.

Police and fire officials are investigating an arson fire in Sandwich that has a disturbing similarity with a suspicious incident in Barnstable.

In both cases, the arsonist left a calling card, the message, "(expletive) the rich" at the scene.

At 3:30 a.m. on Nov. 24, flames engulfed an unoccupied home still under construction at 16 Boulder Brook Road in Sandwich. Only the exterior of the house had been completed. The home, which was valued at $500,000, had a three-car garage and three bedrooms, but no plumbing or electric service, Sandwich Fire Chief George Russell said.

The heavy damage burned much of the evidence. But the state Fire Marshal's Office was recently able to rule that an arsonist had set the fire, Russell said.

The following week, on Dec. 2, incendiary devices were found at 43 Trotters Lane in Marstons Mills, law enforcement officials said.

At Trotters Lane, the message "(expletive) the rich," was clearly spray painted on a fence on the property, Barnstable police Det. John York said.

York said a similar message had been found at the Sandwich property. Sandwich officials have declined to provide details about that case.

The police were called at 10 a.m. to the Trotters Lane home, where they smelled gas and found an empty propane tank in the basement. They found burn marks upstairs, which could have been evidence of a candle or small fire that had burned itself out, York said.

In a phone interview Saturday, Joe Vaughn, who owned the Trotter's Lane house for 22 years but moved about 10 years ago to Sandwich, said he talked to his former neighbors the day the arson investigators were at the home.

Socialist blowhard Bernie Sanders was unavailable for comment.
