What a tragic case. August 2017, a fire destroyed a house in Jackson, Michigan. Two firefighters

The home was shared by 54-year-old Nikki Jolly and his partner, Chris Moore. They lost everything

including three cats and two dogs. Jolly as a transgender activist, a speculation rage that the

fire was a hate crime. The good people of Jackson responded. Hundreds came to a fundraiser for the

trans partners. More than $50,000 was raised. After a long investigation, police finally had answers.

No, Jessie Smollett didn't do it. It wasn't deliberate act, though, and it was arson. But a hate crime,

well, not so much. The person that police charged with first to re-Arson, another then, trans-activist

Nikki Jolly, cops say that he burned down his own house, killing his own pets. Jolly's lawyer says

that his client is innocent because of an absence of motive. Well, other than the $50,000.

First, Jessie Smollett, and now this, you know, these days hate crimes seem to be running into

problems. They are committed by people that actually hate themselves. Seems like.
