ASHEVILLE, NC - A man charged with setting fires in western North Carolina told authorities he did it out of boredom.

In court documents, U.S. Forest Service agent Brian Southard says Keith Mann of Franklin told him he set two fires in Macon County because "I was just bored."

Media outlets report Mann also said he "wanted to see something burn" and didn't have much to live for after his wife left him. The 49-year-old was arrested Wednesday and charged with destroying real property by means of fire.

The fires started Oct. 27 and Nov. 22 and burned 16 acres.

Southard says he went to Mann's home after listening to a 911 call from Mann reporting the second fire.

Mann is in Buncombe County jail without bond. He has requested a public defender.

Perhaps his organs should be harvested. Out of boredom.

That is understandable. Arson is not.

That makes no sense. He should be burned at the stake.... in public... on TV.

It’d be quite the grease fire. Arson isn’t the only thing he does when he’s bored, from the looks of him.

I wonder why she left him.

Because he liked to see things burn and set fires when bored perhaps?

He is a Terrorist and should be treated as such.

His entire family and associates also need to be investigated for links to terrorism.

Attempted murder, not manslaughter.

He won’t be bored in prison. “Bubba” will keep him busy.

From your link:

Keith Eugene Mann is listed at 126 Mann Rd Franklin, NC and is affiliated with the Democratic Party. He is a white male registered to vote in Macon County, North Carolina.

In the "comments" section.

Has a demoRAT ever contributed anything positive?

Not the Gatlinburg (or Pinnacle Mt. Table Rock) fires which caused 11 deaths and counting.

Still, if someone doesn't understand that the setting of unauthorized woods fires is a potentially deadly crime, they deserve culling from the land of the living...for their own sake if not ours.
