After an investigation found a gas can bought at a LOUISIANA WALMART, the purchase was tracked back to HOLDENS MATTHEWS credit card.







Via MATTHEWS FACEBOOK, he is considered a fan of the send wave of Norwegian black metal.


THE NAACP stated "For decades African American churches have served as an epicenter for survival and symbol of hope for many in the African American community. As a consequence, these houses of faith have historically a target for violence".
"What is happening in Tennessee and LOUISIANA is domestic terrorism and we must not turn a blind eye to any incident where people are targeted because of the color of their skin and their faith" Johnson said. "The spike in church burnings in the Southern states is a reflection of emboldened racial rhetoric and tension spreading across the country."


 ITP V.019 EDITORS NOTE:
HOLDENS MATTHEWS is a very disturbed and misguided man. The metal scene does NOT condone his actions and perhaps his case can be Prosecuted as a hate crime and or domestic terrorism.
