And he once was a volunteer firefighter

They had a ban on his name and it was lifted and now he is at a secret location.

He Is responsible for AT LEAST 21 Deaths

I call that MASS MURDER

and he should be jailed like a murderer. It was premeditated , he lit a fire that would cause destruction . He knows what fires do - THEY KILL even if they DONT Kill people some of the time they KILL Wildlife in the bush and Our Nature

Arsonists are lower than LOW - a very cowardly thing to do. At least when someone shoots someone looking them in their eyes they are seen for who they are
But a Arsonist sneaking around lighting a fire

Pftt

I wonder how he was caught ?
