A 20-year-old Ohio man has been arrested for fire-bombing at the Community Church of Chesterland, in Chesterland, Ohio, in his zeal to protect children from the evils of drag, according to MetroWeekly.
Aimenn Penny of Alliance, Ohio, was arrested Friday, March 31, and allegedly has admitted in an interview with the FBI that he built Molotov cocktails and then threw them at the church because the church had planned to host to drag events on April 1.
In that interview, which was recorded, Penny also allegedly said he tried to burn down the church to “protect” children from drag queens, that he decided to attack the church after becoming increasingly angry after watching internet news feeds of drag shows, and that he would feel better if he had succeeded in actually burning the church down.
