00:00I live across the street from the church where there was attempted arson.
00:06I was watching TV with my wife and kids.
00:08I saw a big flame out the window, came outside with a bowl of water,
00:14and I put the flame out with a bowl of water.
00:18I think the guy is a nut job.
00:20I think he's homeless, and the reason why I say that,
00:22he literally had three layers of clothing in 85-degree weather.
00:28Based on the conversation that I had with the folks who were there at the scene,
00:33they said he was a nut job.
00:35They were all minding their own business.
00:37The guy came from across the street with a beer bottle in his hand, open, not even covered,
00:44and told them, hey, you guys want a mosque here?
00:47They're like, no, no, no, we don't want a mosque.
00:49We got a mosque here. We got a mosque there. We don't need a mosque.
00:52He was like, oh, you guys are a bunch of P-words.
00:55And then he puts the beer bottle on the hood of their vehicle
01:00and takes out a mala cocktail.
01:03It was like a homemade ceramic bottle, apparently, what they said.
01:07Takes a lighter, lights it, chucks it at the church,
01:10and then takes his bottle of beer off the hood of the car,
01:14goes across the street,
01:16and then apparently we had surveillance footage from another neighbor.
01:19He turned to the right on 97th Avenue,
01:23and coincidentally, he was on his way to the other church.
01:27That's why it rocked away.
