      But did you consider "The fire became so intense that customers in the drive-through lane needed to back out of the parking lot, and the restaurant was forced to briefly close"? How can you even begin to quantify the harm caused by burning trash in a giant metal bin?

      You can make the argument that arson puts lives at risk but no they specifically cited property as the thing which made this crime so bad

        The station nightclub fire footage is the worst thing I have ever seen.

        ...and the guy responsible only did four years. He was remorseful and it was an accident, but still. This McDonalds employee got a harsher sentence than the station nightclub fire guy.

          Dude was sentenced to 15 years but got let out early because the families of the victims called for leniency due to his remorse and fully taking responsibility

          Point stands

    "Intentionally setting a fire in an effort to shut down or damage someone else’s property is inexcusable," U.S. Attorney Steinberg said in the press release. "Joshua McGregor will have substantial time to ponder his post-prison employment options."

    disgusting.
