Firefighters responding to a call in Chester County, Pennsylvania were alarmed to find the words “Kill Zimmerman” spray painted on the burning building they were tackling, local ABC affiliate WPVI-TV reports.

Sources told The Daily Local that responders also found the words “Kill Whites” written on another part of the building.

Firefighters arrived at ProSigns, a company that makes commercial signs for businesses, around 11:20 p.m. on Sunday night. They quickly took care of the fire and managed to put it out before anyone was hurt.

“Considering the graffiti, investigators immediately suspected the blaze was intentionally set,” WPVI-TV writes. “On Monday, the fire was ruled an arson, fueled by an unknown accelerant.”

The business owner has no idea why ProSigns would have been targeted, but investigators put the damage at around $500,000.

Part of that comes from an “antique Studebaker vehicle was set ablaze inside the building,” a friend of the business’ owner told the Daily Local.

Officials have yet to divulge many details, but say the investigation is ongoing.

A Florida jury cleared George Zimmerman of all charges on Saturday in the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin last year, unleashing a firestorm of controversy in what was already a highly politicized case.

Protests are planned across the country, and there have been reports of both violence and threats of violence in relation to the case.

Jury Finds Roderick Scott Not Guilty - Rochester

This whole thing reminds me of a case from my hometown a couple years ago.... Don't remember such a media circus then..

(Please note that I understand that there are some differences in the cases where someone was clearly up to no good in the above link, and there doesn't seem to be anything to indicate Martin was before this incident).

I just thought it was interesting.
