<p>Tourists stopped a 26-year-old U.S. Navy veteran this week from burning down the birth home of civil rights icon <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/martin-luther-king-jr" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Martin Luther King Jr</a>.</p>
<p>Laneisha Shantrice Henderson &#8220;was detained by the bystanders at the historic home on Auburn Avenue and taken into custody Thursday night,&#8221; The Atlanta Journal-Constitution <a href="https://www.ajc.com/news/crime/police-woman-attempts-to-burn-down-martin-luther-king-jrs-birth-home/IXSOU5F4IFDIHK4CKUPVDYWEMA/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. &#8220;Unlike many national monuments, there is no gate restricting access to the civil rights leader’s birth home, which attracts more than 700,000 visitors from around the world annually.&#8221;</p>
<p>“That action saved an important part of American history tonight,” Atlanta police Chief Darin Schierbaum told reporters at the scene.</p>
<p>A man who became suspicious of Henderson asked her what she was doing after he saw her throw a liquid onto the front porch of the residence. Once he smelled gasoline and realized what she was allegedly doing, he grabbed her car keys — which she left in the grass — to prevent her from leaving. The man then blocked her from getting back on the porch when she returned with a lighter.</p>
<p>Henderson then took off and two off duty police officers rushed in to apprehend her until law enforcement arrived on scene.</p>
<p>“If the witnesses hadn’t been here and interrupted what she was doing, I mean, it could have been a matter of seconds before the house was engulfed in flames,” said Atlanta fire Battalion Chief Jerry DeBerry.</p>

<p>Henderson was charged with second-degree criminal attempt to commit arson and interference with government property. A Fulton County magistrate denied Henderson bond due to an unstable place of residence and the nature of the alleged offense.</p>

<p>&#8220;She gave an address in a different state. So I find that there is a likelihood that she may not return to court,&#8221; said Fulton County Magistrate Judge Holly Hughes. &#8220;I&#8217;m extremely concerned about the randomness of this event. There does not seem to be any reason or tie to that particular location.&#8221;</p>
