Won’t be a problem for him. The lawyer in New York who was caught for fire bombing a police car can still practice law. No reason to think the outcome won’t be any different in this case.

Maryland
Iowa

In any truly civilized country a person tried and found guilty of a crime of this magnitude would be summarily executed within hours of the guilty verdict.

Oh the irony. Just like the folks who become psychiatrists to figure out what’s wrong with their own mind.

It seems a paradox, but “academics” are often the most ideological, narrow-minded, and stupid people you will ever meet.

True without a shadow of doubt. I say this based on watching and listening to them at three universities. Many of them exemplify the Dunning-Kruger cognitive bias.

On a side note, that is Trump/Reagan/conservative country in that part of California.[2]

True. I know more than one psychiatrist who retired early so they could, among other things, focus on being on the other side of the equation (a patient, rather than the clinician).

So-called “professors” today have become rabid leftists to the point where they’ve become absolute morons. In this case, he can’t even set a good fire properly without getting caught. A six year old could have done a better job.

And a massive crime it is...
501,008 Acres burned
Only 30% contained at this point
1,045 Structures Destroyed (including 557 homes [1])
69 Structures Damaged
Thousands evacuated
Resources Assigned - 20 Helicopters, 502 Engines, 197 Dozers, 204 Water Tenders, 6,092 Personnel, 68 Crews

He started a fire behind a fire crew iirc

Attempted Murder in my book.

( I’m a little biased, 39 wildfires on hand crews )
