Serial arsonist lit Insa-dong blaze
Man who set fire to Deoksu Palace �wanted to clean up this dirty city�
| Quote: |
The 52-year-old man surnamed Ahn who was arrested for setting fire to the sit-in camp occupied by fired Ssangyong Motor workers in front of Daehanmun, the main gate of Deoksu Palace in Jung District, central Seoul, on Sunday, is also the person who set fire to a restaurant in a food alley in Insa-dong that burned down six buildings and dozens of stores last month.
The Namdaemun Police Precinct in central Seoul found that Ahn also had set fire to other places in Seoul in the past: burning another protest site in Myeong-dong, central Seoul, on March 1; setting fire to a trash can in a Burger King in Myeong-dong on March 1; and setting fire to an empty box outside of a restaurant in Jung District on Sunday.

No real surprise since the Korean justice system seems to operate on the catch and release principle.
But I sympathize with the guy's protest against trash on the streets of Korea. I wonder though how a trash can gave offense. Must have needed emptying. |

Good thing they caught him before he started killing people. He sounds like a real nut. His idea of "Fire burning the trash" sounds like Travis Bickle in "Taxi Driver" talking about "rain." Scary stuff, eh kids?
