Man charged with racially motivated arson against predominantly Black church in Rhode Island

Credited from: THEGUARDIAN

  • Kevin Colantonio, a 36-year-old man from Rhode Island, is set to plead guilty on 7 January for igniting fires outside a predominantly Black church.
  • The fires were started at the Shiloh Gospel Temple in North Providence on 11 February, motivated by the “race, color, religion, national origin and/or ethnicity” of its congregants.
  • Colantonio was found with materials including a pocket lighter and gasoline, causing damage to the church property despite it being vacant at the time.
  • Evidence gathered from his home included disturbing writings that reflect violent intent against people who are not white.
  • He faces potential penalties of at least five years in prison, with a maximum possible sentence of 56 years, along with possible fines.
