#1 If you can prove that Climate Change made him become a pyromaniac, then Climate Change is still the cause of the Cali wild fires.

#4 I got downvoted slightly over at That News Place for Hack(er)s for suggesting that maybe this guy was responsible for the Dixie Fire too. Or that the original fire was arson.

It's hard for me to tell.

Of course, in modern California and the land of the technoligarches, you can be running around trying to burn people to death and that's merely a pink flag rather than a red one.

#5 Count up how many people died because of this, then allow them to survive that many days under grueling torture.

Hand him over to the most violent rapey gang in prison for one week per death.

Find the teachers that brainwashed him and take away their tenure and put aiding and abiding mass murder on their permanent record.

Something like that might work to prevent future arsonists. Nothing else seems to stop the sick bastards.

#6 too costly rj. a 9mm round is cheaper and if administered by one of the surviving family members...even better.

#7 not as cheap as a 9mm, but burning at the stake has a certain elegance in this case.
