Man who torched outback real estate agency, doused woman in petrol has 'paranoid personality', court hears
www.abc.net.au
A court hears 60-year-old Raymond John O'Brien, a disgruntled tenant, walked into the Kalgoorlie agency last December and told a woman behind the front counter to leave, saying "I'm going to burn this place down".

no but seriously, this guy was fucked over pretty consistently:

The court heard Mr Reid consumed about six bourbons for "Dutch courage" before attending a local service station earlier in the day and filling up the jerry can.

"There was a build up of stress," Mr Reid told the court.

"He had to vacate four rental properties, which were all on short six-month leases, and had to find another house to live each time with a new bond."
...
The court heard O'Brien had no history of mental illness but a psychological assessment found he had a "paranoid personality".

Mr Reid said he had attended Kalgoorlie Police Station the Friday before the fire "feeling overwhelmed" and threatening self-harm.

"He was admitted to hospital, he's provided me with the medical band … he wanted to speak with a psychiatrist," Mr Reid said.

"He spoke to a psychiatric nurse … he felt he was not given the help he needed and left feeling worse than when he arrived."

and the reddit-logo reaction is much less libby than I was expecting:
