I would love to have been a fly on the wall for that court.

Reid, 27, was jailed yesterday for 2 1/2 years for arsons on Cambridge High and Forest Lake classrooms which caused $400,000 damage.

He thought it'd only be a little fire.

This is great Friday fare.

jailed yesterday for 2 1/2 years

At least it's a short sentence.

[Charles Henrickson]

He slipped through the system

I can see why.

[byteback]

This is the height of stupidity.

[Charles Henrickson]

arsonist dwarf

Have those two words ever been placed together in the entire history of the English language?

[Charles Henrickson]

When he was growing up

So to speak.

[subterfuge]

"had not received the level of support he needed."

He definitely need a HIGH level of support.

[cripplecreek]

A "matchkin"?

[reagan_fanatic]

Well, that headline dwarfs anything I could have come up with.

[kiwi_hawk]

This is great Friday fare Is that tongue in cheek?, I can't tell from here.

[kiwi_hawk]

Well, that headline dwarfs anything I could have come up with Mwahahahaha.

[techcor]

He was sentenced by a bunch of small minded people.

[Jonah Hex]

Can he appeal this to a lower court?

[CSM]

"He will be kept in a secure facility for intellectually disabled prisoners."

2.5 years stuck in DU is a very harsh punishment!

[cjshapi]

Nope. Couldn't think of anything clever at that point. But you gotta admit, an arsonist dwarf is perfect for the humor that seems to happen on Friday.

Wonder if the poor little guy will get a reduced sentence?

[reagan_fanatic]

He had wanted an independent life, with a family and a job, and his inability to achieve that resulted in frustration and, ultimately, arson

I wonder if he'll get a court-ordered shrink?
