too snuffy for me
perversely upvoted but not something i want en masse on the sift

I know what you mean. I was hesitant.

The only reason I did it was because of the nature of the crime (arson to avoid paying a mortgage) which is cowardly, followed by suicide ONLY when he was found guilty. If he had gotten away with it, presumably he would still be alive.

A perverse posting garnering perverse upvotes. Makes sense to me.

These videos all get a unique reaction from me. (as many horrific gif files do) ... adrenalin i think. They mess with me for a while after watching them.

Maybe he just found out he was living in Arizona.

There goes his appeal.

There was another story I read recently (can't recall if it was a recent occurrence) about a man in prison who confessed to multiple murders and rapes, and was going to provide details on those crimes in exchange for items such as oysters. The wrinkle was that he is deathly allergic to oysters.

His plot didn't work. What an idiot.

"Arson of an Occupied Structure... a potential sentence of up to 5 years in prison."

So if he was going to be near 60 years old by the time he got out, his life as a productive person in charge of his full mental faculties would be coming to a close anyway, and he would have had to start from scratch financially.

He just saved society $250k. ($50k per year.) Maybe an appeal would have added another $100k to the costs.

Given these details, his actions appear to have been in the best interest of society.

don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

I would've done that too. It's a control thing.
