The owners of a home that caught fire in Endicott (NY) believe they were targeted because they flew a “Blue Lives Matter” flag.
The fire destroyed the building’s first floor. New York State Police on Thursday said the fire was being investigated as “suspicious.”
No one was injured in the fire.
A family member said that they believe the house was targeted. They say a “Blue Lives Matter” flag waves in front of their house next to an American flag. While the fire was being put out one of the family members went around to the back of the house to see the damage. According to that family member, across the back of house on a strip of siding read this message: “Lie with pigs, fry like bacon.”
New York State Police are handling the investigation.
