Armed Minnesota man burns down his own house, then blames Obama

[Katashi_itto]

And in this headline folks, we have the entire Conservative political strategy for the last half decade.


A Minnesota man is in custody on charges of arson after police say that he set fire to his house and then blamed President Barack Obama and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

Patch reported that fire was reported coming from the Minnetonka home of 49-year-old Ronald Gary Bailey after 9 p.m. on Dec. 1.

According to court records, Bailey asked firefighters responding to the call when they would be finished putting out the blaze so that he could “start the rest of my house on fire.”


But by the time that firefighters had extinguished the fire, the home had been destroyed. Standing at the end of his driveway, Bailey explained to them: “You should know, you did this, the CIA implanted a computer in my brain and body.”

1. "Armed" matters why?

Seems like this is another mentally ill guy who's now homeless during the coldest weather in years.

3. Uh, armed matters...

The guy burned down his own fucking house because he thinks the CIA planted a computer in his brain. And you think "armed" doesn't matter?
So maybe we should give him a tank and see what he does with it.

5. Let's see...

Mentally ill and armed with a handgun. What's wrong with this picture...?

7. I think the question is related to non-mentally ill people having handguns nt

10. I guess you could

be right, but in my experience not a lot of sane people burn their houses down while packing a pistol. Wonder who gave/sold him the gun? We can assume that the gun was legally purchased at some point -- right?

11. That's probably accurate - but is the desire to have a handgun, in itself, an indicator of

mental illness?

13. I don't see

where that notion was implied. The headline simply stated, "Armed Minnesota man burns own house..." which does not go to "desire" but states a fact. Being armed while committing a crime does, however, indicate some degree of anti-social behavior at the very least.

Evidently someone facilitated his "desire" to own a gun even though he was legally barred from doing so. Is that person suffering from mental illness?

6. He was restricted from owning firearms due to a previous

encounter with the police and mental health professionals. It's in the article at the link. Reading is FUNdamental.

4. I remember that fire. This guy sounds quite a ways off the sanity track.

Maybe they'll cover this tonight on the local news.

8. Ladies and Gentlemen, allow me to present the Republican nominee for President in 2016 n/t

9. This guy is clearly mentally ill. It's not about his political leanings.

Also, Rawstory is picking up Patch articles now?
