Alabama Landlords Fear Renting New Home To Roy Moore Accuser Whose Home Burned In Arson Fire

Johnson said she’s struggling now to get out of the motel room that she, husband and grandson have been sharing since the fire.

'They don’t want to rent to me,' Johnson told AL.com Saturday of Etowah County rental property owners. 'They think, if they burned that house down, they might burn my house down. They have nothing available.'

The Etowah County Arson Task Force says a person of interest has been questioned but no arrest has been made. They add that the investigation 'does not lead us to believe that the fire is in any way related to Roy Moore or allegations made against him.'

It is a reasonable assumption it probably had something to do with it. Another example why people are reluctant to speak out.

It's why I roll my eyes at nostalgia and the romantic waxing about the bucolic life of small towns. There's a lot of it we choose to forget or not see.

small minded people. Those who are not small minded go on frequent long trips to other cities or countries.

donated 100K so that's 250K so far, the go fund me is still going strong. I'm sure she'll be able to buy a brand new home with I hope top notch security.
