Nation's arsonists struggle to adapt to record gas prices »

Posted By ind06 1 year, 3 months ago in Humor

“Making a living by burning things to the ground requires that you keep a low overhead, which is hard when the cost of your primary deconstruction material keeps going up,” said Ryan Maranzona, a 27-year-old Detroit arsonist who has relied on his skills with the flame to make his living since dropping out of and then burning down his high school at age 16.

      Wow. I guess the high price of gasoline is making things tough all over. LOL

      The next thing you know people will be turning away from using real charcoal briquettes because of the cost of lighting them.

      Good one ind06

      FTA:
      "“At least I don’t work down where they had all that flooding around the Mississippi [River] last month,” said Maranzona. “Those poor bastards were trying to burn down buildings that were under fifteen feet of ******* water. Talk about a hard dollar.”
      High gas prices and high water......damned tough year for the biz.

          Since the value of the dollar has decreased and the price of gas is so high I think it will be more cost effective for the arsonists to use greenbacks to kindle their fires.

          Molotov c o c k tails could be a problem though.

              It seems that the arsonist vote may be the swing vote in the upcoming election. Its a larger than expected demographic.

                If any of you had paid attention you would have seen the ad right above the article that stated free $250.00 gas cards til they run out. I got mine.

                      Don't need any stinking gasoline to set a roaring fire. It takes clever arsonists to come up with better alternatives to combat the technological advancement of arson detectives. Gasoline is passé.

                        The fact that people would actually spend their lives burning things up is absolutly blistering. And pathetic.
