Deputies said that he told them his plan was to get a big enough fire in the dumpster to catch the building on fire and once it was burning he thought the alcohol from the beer and wine inside would burn it to the ground.
Lloyd said he was "doing his part for America" and also admitted he has a long history of mental health issues, according to an arrest affidavit.
The sheriff said Lloyd will be given a mental health evaluation and it will be up to the State Attorney's office to determine if this was an intentional hate crime.

This is my hometown. I am sad for my state, for my county, for my city and especially sad for my country. Hatred is taught. And thanks to Cheetoh Jeesus these people feel empowered.

OP
I wonder if mental health would even be considered if he was a Muslim burning a non-Muslim store

Mascara said. Its unfortunate that Mr. Lloyd made the assumption that the store owners were Muslim when, in fact, they are of Indian descent,
So if the store had belonged to a Muslim it would have been OK with Mascara if it had been burned? That is fucked up!

I guess Muslims are immune to mental health issues?

Not terribly bright. The owners were brown so they must be Mooslims.

It appears to have little to do with religious affiliation.
