There have been 70 arsons in and around Coatesville, Pa. since late 2007.
Jeff Deeney and Gregory Gilderman of TheDailyBeast.com visited the town of just 11,000 people in April 2009 and found a community under siege.
Some residents, including Michael Hardy, who appears in this video, had taken to sleeping in their living rooms so they could exit more quickly if there were a fire.
Others wondered if there was a racial motive behind some of the arsons: the population of Coatesville is about half African American, but as of this posting, all of the suspects are white.
The Ku Klux Klan and the racist Catholic Church are responible for these fires!!!!
