Maybe with a little luck this is the same guy who set the other fires last week and we can all rest easy knowing this dirtbag is off the streets and our families and property are safe again.
Not likely the same guy as this one seems to be associated with this particular residence. Hopefully he will be charged wiht attemped murder since he must have know someone was inside at the time.
Is he out yet?
Hope the older fellow is doing well.

Still wondering how this fellow was arrested in the fire. Sounds to me like a like a very dangerous thing to do. ;-)
I hope this fellow is held responsible for the old mans suffering. I also hope the old man is okay. What am I thinking? In Canada there is no justice. Human life is worth very little.
Thoughts and prayers going out to the elderly gentleman who was hurt and is in the hospital. Serious injuries are rough at any age, but much more significant at 85.
