From Huffington Post:
MORGANTOWN, West Virginia (Reuters) - Five people were arrested on Monday in connection with 29 fires intentionally set over the weekend in Morgantown, West Virginia, authorities said.
The Morgantown Fire Department responded to 18 street fires and 11 dumpster fires between Thursday and Monday morning, Captain Ken Tennant said.
Although Morgantown is home to West Virginia University, known for celebrating football victories by setting couches on fire, investigators said they did not think the blazes were connected to any particular event.
"This past weekend was pretty much random," said Tennant. "There were no celebrations going on this weekend. There were no large gatherings or anything."
According to The Daily Athenaeum, the student newspaper, WVU students set 22 fires around campus to celebrate the death of Osama bin Laden last week.
Five people were charged with malicious burning in connection with the recent fires, Tennant said. It was not immediately known if any of them was a WVU student.
Is arson cool? Is it even fun? I don't really get the appeal of it. "Oh man setting that dumspter on fire was such a rush, I bet it took the fire department like three minutes to put it out!" Like of all crimes arson is the lamest by far. When Bin Laden got popped everyone was setting their couches on fire and shit. Lame. What worse way to celebrate than to destroy your fucking couch. Even drunk I wouldn't do that shit.
Can stop being a moron |
