ZitatENDICOTT (WBNG) -- The owners of a home that caught fire in Endicott Wednesday shared unsettling information with Action News on Thursday.
Multiple crews responded to a house fire at 410 East Main St. around 1:30 a.m. Wednesday. Firefighters said the fire destroyed the building's first floor. New York State Police on Thursday said the fire was being investigated as "suspicious," but have not called it an arson investigation. A cause has not been identified.
No one was injured in the fire.
The family member, who's asked to to remain anonymous, said they believe the house was targeted. They say a "Blue Lives Matter" flag waves in front of their house next to an American flag. While the fire was being put out, we're told one of the family members went around to the back of the house to see the damage. According to that family member, across the back of house on a strip of siding read this message: "Lie with pigs, fry like bacon."
The strip of siding has been removed from the home, the family says.
New York State Police are handling the investigation. Troopers have yet to confirm those details.
The family member tells Action News they believe the message and the fact that they had a "Blue Lives Matter" flag are not a coincidence.
New York State Police have not said if they think the presence of the flag played a role in the fire. Officials have also not said if they've found a motive or possible suspects.

Identifying a motive is always so much harder when the perps are liberals. The most difficult crime to identify a motive for is when the perp yells that phrase "Alihu Ahkbar!!!" After a perp yells that phrase it can take months and months to identify a motive.

Julian Assange *** "Maybe God is trying to tell us something important- that now is not the time for a “nice Christian guy” or a “gentleman” or a typical Republican powder puff. Maybe now is the time for a natural born killer, a ruthless fighter, a warrior. Because right about now we need a miracle, or America is finished. Maybe the rules of gentleman don’t apply here. Maybe a gentleman and “all-around nice Christian” would lead us to slaughter." Wayne Allyn Root
