On January 14, a masked arsonist poured gasoline on the front porch of Matthew Camp‘s Poughkeepsie, PA home, and set the house ablaze while he and his roommate were asleep inside.
Surveillance footage captured the individual around 5am. Camp and his roommate awoke and were able to escape the home in time, but the home burned down completely and they lost everything they own. Camp just purchased the home in October, and suspects that this attack was a hate crime because he is gay and a sex worker.
In a WTF turn of events, prior to Camp purchasing the home Joe “Netherworld” Mendillo, a high-ranking member of the Church of Satan, owned it, using the building as a space for his religious community to gather for Halloween. Members of the Church of Satan believe the space was targeted due to its historic nature, with many members of the Church living in the surrounding neighborhood.
This is absolutely awful! To donate to Matthew and his roommate Six Carter to help them recover from this tragedy, you can donate HERE or HERE. An attack against one of us is an attack against all of us in the LGBTQ community!
SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT HERE…….
HE IS NOT TELLING THE TRUTH……..
WHEN Y9 ARE IN THE WORDL OF ESCORTING….”PARTYING” ETC…..
YOU MAKE ENEMIES WITH MANY SHADY CRIMINALS…..
However buys a house with this history needs their heads checked. Even if the original structure was demolished….who cares…? No common sense & no sympathy.
Poughkeepsie is in NY, not PA. This happened a short train ride from New York City, in the Hudson Valley.
Why in the world would you buy a house that has such a history…?!?!?!?!?!?
Does ít really has so much history? Why didn’t they burn it before? Why didn’t they tell the first owners to burn it down in the first place?
I don’t think this was a hate crime against Camp. Someone had a score 2 settle w. This particular church of Satan, who used 2 occupy this house! Sorry, Camp, I sympathize w. U the loss of Ur home, but think Ur way off on “hate crime” ’cause Ur Gay etc. – Grey
Maybe it was one of his disgruntled fans that was upset with his lack lustre performance in Mens “tribute” to Tom of Finland?
I have donated to Six and Matthew. If you can pitch it, it will help.
Did Camp have insurance? Surely he did—- not that it would solve the problem. Terrible act of a twisted bastard.
Normally you have to have a conviction for arson before insurance pays.
Xtians are the worst
I hope he gets the help he needs.
@Once again Satan is the logical and compassionate choice
I can’t help him from here, but I hope he gets the help he needs ♥
Devastating. I hope they catch the perpetrator soon.
I don’t know about you, but I would want to seek revenge on the person who did this. If I couldn’t get that one, then one of my enemies will do.
I’m 100% against Trump and everything he and followers stand for! That doesn’t mean this is a Trump supporter – or that it’s not. Hate crimes are absolutely horrible, but not every crime is a hate crime. Also…. doesn’t he have home insurance? If my home burned down, would he send me money?
I’m guessing they learned from those that participated in the riots and destruction in Minnesota.
There’s always that one dipshit that feels the need to turn every single post into some kind of political statement or reference, even when the subject at hand couldn’t be any further away from the political spectrum.
Nope- they were modeling their actions on the behavior they saw on January 6th at the Capital. A pre-planned hate attack and attack on American values.
You would have a leg to stand on if buildings and businesses had been burned down on January 6th. But they didn’t. Try better next time.
Hello-
losing your home and all your personal possessions is something no one
should ever experience. I bet the arsonist was a Trump supporter.
WHY?
