The owner of Freedom Trail Tour has been in business since 2001, primarily using this one bus. And Wednesday night, his tour bus went up in flames.
Brown says investigators told him it appeared someone got inside the tour bus and poured gas or some kind of accelerant throughout, before lighting it on fire. Brown adds he doesn’t know for certain why someone would’ve targeted his vehicle, but to whoever did, he has this message.
“And the person, if you’re looking, I mean…I don’t wish you no ill, I don’t wish you no…I don’t have hard feelings toward you. I’m kind of over this now. I’m gonna pray for the person, and I would with that person come to Christ. I mean, these are the times we’re living in, people doing all these crazy things now. But we need to get closer to God,” Brown said.
Brown says he is in the process of having a crowd funding site set up to help buy a new tour bus. In the mean time, he says other tour companies are chipping in to help him keep his Freedom Trail Tour going.
A GoFundMe has been set up to help Brown.
