Freddie Owen Graham of Lone Jack, Missouri, was jailed Thursday on $500,000 bail.
Authorities say he set 13 fires on Friday and Saturday Although the blazes caused no injuries or structural damage, they took dozens of firefighters using aircraft, bulldozers and other equipment hours to extinguish. One blaze, near the Calaveras Reservoir, blackened less than a quarter of a square mile.
Prosecutors say Graham drove through a foothill area northeast of San Jose, throwing flaming paper out of his car as he went.
Graham, who traveled to California from the Kansas City, Missouri, suburb of Lone Jack, has no obvious connection to California, and authorities couldn’t say what might have motivated him to start the fires.

Apparently someone people just want to watch the world burn.

So it could have been a square inch blaze.
Even one acre is too much.

Note to new parents - consider not giving your child a middle name.
I’m thinking he’ll be the “receiver” while in prison. Will he change his name to Fredrica?
If true, this guy’s a real nutcase. Driving 1,500+ miles to set forest fires?
Or just California.
Regular loonie or enviro-loonie?
Question:
How are they able to identify these arsonists?

Answer:
Matching fingerprints.
Send him the bill for all the total cost of the fuel, overtime, wear and tear on the equipment, etc.
This notion that serving six months in the graybar hotel courtesy of taxpayer expense is somehow “paying your debt to society” needs to go bye bye. Restitution means making the taxpayers whole again.
This would likely be several hundred thousand dollars. He may not have it, but that’s OK. At minimum take any assets he does have, and garnish his wages for the rest of his life, whatever it takes.
The point of these exercises is to make the consequences painful. That way it sends a strong message to other clowns contemplating a similar stunt.
He looks like a sexual deviant. The fellas are going to love him. He will probably enjoy it too after the initial break in period.
He flew to CA to attend a 50th HS reunion. He was supposedly distraught about his wife’s recent death. Set fires with flaming paper out car windows for two days and then went to the reunion in Milpitas.

White supremacist?
Well, to be fair it looks like he flew and rented a car.
My bad. Either way, a real nut case.
Hey, its not a deficiency on your part. The article posted was very sketchy it what it contained. I just went digging as I know Lone Jack, Missouri. I grew up just across the state line from there.
Well, he thought about burning his own state, but apparently shit don’t burn.
