Basically a nutcase by the looks of it - no deep motive. Just likes fire.

Give him a fair trial and then make an example of him in such a way that no one will think of doing something like this again — and make it public.

I suggest definite scumbag, alleged arsonist and murderer.

The child porn ought to be plenty to quality him as an SB.

Liked fire
A psudo fireman who wanted to be a hero by setting the fire and then putting it out.
Don’t forget that the moosies threatened to use fire in our forests as a weapon against us.
