A student at Crown College, a Bible college in Tennessee, said he thought he was following God’s instructions when he dressed up in a ninja costume and set fire to a local adult bookstore, the Knoxville News Sentinel reported last Thursday.
The student confessed the act of arson to the authorities after a car accident persuaded him that God might not have endorsed his incendiary protest.
Now, the fate of 20-year-old Benjamin Daniel Warren rests with a Knox County grand jury, and an adult bookstore manager is hoping his case will be treated as a hate crime.
