Nope, almost all were active churches, with congregations & such. Only a few were not in use.

There were only 12 arrests & only 2 convictions reported: a mentally ill woman which was unrelated to the 'graves' and a kid.

33 churches burned that summer, 2 were ruled accidents and 24 were confirmed to be arson, +5 suspected arson. 14 were utterly destroyed, fire & vandalism hit 80+ churches nation wide.

Justin egged them on, saying how their actions were "fully understandable". How disgusting is that guy, eh?
