Easier to deal with insurance than evict? 🤔
The prison sentence might even be shorter than the eviction process would have been...
Insurance won’t pay- trying to claim your house that you intentionally torched is insurance fraud.
I think the idea was he thought he could get away with the arson, or that he could blame the tenants for the arson.
This never happened. Or did it?
Fox News has testified in court multiple times that their "news" is not fact-based and that no reasonable person could confuse their stories as factual. So... It's a fairly safe bet that this story is bullshit, based on Fox News' own sworn statements.
Fuck these Fox News affiliate links.

What kind of a ghoul do you have to be to commit arson and attempt murder (of two adults and six children) over unpaid rent? Like, you're a landlord. Get used to rent issues or get a real job.
The elemental core of fascism is the belief that you deserve the benefits of other people's suffering. You haven't experienced rage until you've watched someone get slapped in the face by someone they deep down believe is inferior to them.
Arson & murder aside, there's a housing crisis.
You can own property, and be homeless and broke.
Examples:
But to be clear: fuck this guy.
Just also fuck your "get used to theft with no recourse" attitude. We need places to rent - not everyone wants to own a house. You can argue the price of rent, but don't pretend it isn't a real job. They are providing a valuable service, and have expenses to do so. I'm in a city with a huge housing shortage - people are lined up trying to rent places. People are auction-like bidding against other potential tenants (technically illegal) to pay more rent in order to get a place to sleep. We need more rentals. If it's not worth it, they'll sell. Which means one less house for rent, making the problem worse.
And again: fuck this arsonist murderous ahole.
Fox? No thanks
