PINELLAS COUNTY, Fla. (WFLA) — A Florida man was arrested Wednesday after deputies said he was caught on camera setting his boss’s house on fire in early May because “spirits” told him to.

Deputies said Thanh Ha, 54, was caught on multiple surveillance videos approaching the newly constructed St. Petersburg home around 11:50 a.m. on May 3 while riding a bicycle. Ha then locked the bike to a nearby stop sign and walked to the home while attempting to cover his face with his shirt, arrest documents stated.

Five minutes later, Ha was captured on camera running from the home back to his bicycle before he rode away.

Given the rapid rate of decay in our society, I think it is entirely possible that many are indeed possessed.

Is there a “Florida Man” picture?

Is his face tatted?

Crazed look?

Anything?

“Ha then locked the bike to a nearby stop sign and walked to the home...”

That’s good to know that he at least had the common sense to lock up his bike before torching the house.

Or did the spirits tell him to lock his bike?

I’m guessing these spirits were named Jack Daniels and Glenlivet.

This probably rules out any employment merit pay increase for the year.

Just like California, most “Florida Men” come from somewhere else. The rest of the country and the world keeps producing these loonies, then they get sent there.
