This article is upsetting me even more because the police are covering their donkeys and trying to make it sound like they actually did something.

In fact, WE were the ones who yelled at the police the moment they approached us after the second fire, telling them that this is the same guy who set the fire on 7/22. The police never "ran a check" to find out about the first fire. They did not "determine" anything. We basically had to bash our story against their hollow heads to get our point across: HE SHOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN ARRESTED.

Police Capt. Frank Fujii said Buckley was arrested for second-degree arson rather than first-degree arson because he "recklessly placed someone's life in danger." The more serious charge requires that someone "knowingly" endangers someone's life, he said.

Buckley left three matchbooks on the ground after the second fire. If he did not "knowingly" endanger the lives of everyone in the area, then could someone please explain to me what his bloody intentions were? How can you SET a fire at a gas station without KNOWINGLY endangering people??

Gas + fire = you die

Oh, please. Buckley must be either a friend of a police officer, or related to one of them. I'm sick of this biased crap.

Someone had conveniently lost the pictures that were taken immediately after the fire. Whatever damage these photos captured is nothing compared to the initial damage. These were taken after the melted hoses and nozzles had been replaced and the pump had been repaired as much as possible. The lower metal section of the pump had been cleaned and restored almost to its original condition. You can still see how some of the plastic melted off.
