In Florida, a man attempted to set a convenience store on fire Friday morning, later telling police he wanted to “run the Arabs out of our country.” Sixty-four-year-old Richard Leslie Lloyd told police he believed the store’s owners were Muslim—although they are of Indian ancestry—and that he was “doing his part for America.” The arson followed a rash of recent hate crimes targeting South Asian men.
