He wasn't an arsonist, he was a labor activist!

The compulsory sprinkler system would have suppressed that fire before it took hold.

how was there no fire suppression in that building???
EmeraldNight
Reports are that the arsonist was an employee or contractor. Reports are going to say it was a hate crime or some shit. And it definitely was a crime of hate; we should all hate capitalism.

all they have to do is pay us a living wage

At first I'm like, holy fuck. And then I look at the scale of this building. Fuck it, burn that trash to the ground.

I hope he gets a jury trial and someone refuses to convict. The insurance company can choose not to pay if there is no guilty party, fire department turned the sprinklers off, and then he reset the fires. If you look, I think it was multiple people but he made the video to take the heat.

Good. Now we need to sustain this energy and do this shit all across the country. Oligarchs and their enforcers won’t stop hurting us until we hurt them.

This person put a LOT of people out of work. Most of them most likely needed that income no matter how little they were being paid. And not nothing.
dontrike
Doubt they paid enough to live on as it is
MeestowKitty
The corporation put a lot of people out of work, after treating them like slaves for years and finally getting their comeuppance.
I fixed it for you.
J3lek
Well now they can get unemployment benefits while they search for a job that pays enough to live
bottledham
Thank you! My kid has a job at a place like this and his whole world would be wiped out if someone burned his livelihood away.

Be prepared for the downvotes.
bekkayya
yeah and that strike put all the mining company town workers out of their homes! how could they not care about their own communities!??!!?!? /s
DaSauceSeeker
Maybe they shoulda paid em enough to live
overflowin2718
It's really all they had to do.

The last asshole ceo got shot They’re lucky he just burned down the place

Looks like they have another one right beside it. Get cooking

If a reporter has stones and brains, 'Are you worried your insurance rates might increase if you continue to refuse to pay your workers livable wages?' with their financial reports they provide investors on hand.

Dang, 'Are your investors worried*'

Rewrite it. I personally will come back to upvote it. Don’t worry about deleting the original one; just rewrite the comment. You got this! It’s too important NOT to say it clearly at this point. *hugs*

Didnt realise people homes were that fucking close to it.

Betting the homes were there first & KC offered the farmer an obscene amount of money.

and yet it was completely fine. its almost like context matters for actual outcomes and harms.

The quiet neighborhood I grew up in as a kid now has a massive Amazon shipping center that looms over the homes like Mount Doom.

a lot of poisonous cancerous vapor chemicals were released. items now necessary in homes 1. water filtration system since all the water in US is chemically contaminated. 2. air filtration system since all the air in US is chemically contaminated. 3. painting respirator for incidents like fires, chemical leaks... the GOP/trump have removed 1000s regulations and cancer rates will rise! https://publichealth.jhu.edu/2025/the-shocking-hazards-of-louisianas-cancer-alley

This study is about a specific place in the US. Give us a nation wide study if you want to back up what you're saying.
ConsesualSnuggler
This is why they should allow warehouses to be built this close to them for the homeowners safety.
KellyCrazyCatLadyinTraining
*should NOT
ConsesualSnuggler
Thank you that's what I meant
bladderinfection
Hey, dumbshit warehouse operator. Fire suppression systems exist. Go fuck yourselves. Signed sincerely by anyone remotely connected to the field of fire safety.
StrandedonEarth
That’s what I was wondering about too. I have to wonder if “Luigi Light” turned off the sprinkler system first….
FermentTheRich3000
Apparently, the suppression systems were turned off. IIRC, it was due to false positives.
bladderinfection
So even worse, they invested in the installation but then didn’t keep it working properly. They essentially paid for more debris.
TheDoctorCrankenstein
No, what happened is that the arsonist lit a smaller fire, suppression was engaged and FD responded and people were evacuated. The company had the FD turn off the system to prevent further product damage after the team was handling the fire.
Then the arsonist lit more fires in other parts of the warehouse. Dude made sure the company fucks weren't going to get off easy.
Slugsie
I think it was mentioned in another article about it that the arsonist set a small fire first, and then for some reason the fire suppression with disabled as a result. It was then the arsonist really set everything alight.
GlutenFreeCocaineWaffles
This is the prevailing theory on reddit, which is generally known for its objective, empirical, and non-conspiracy-nut culture when it comes to emergent events. /s
JohnEdwa
Gotta turn the sprinklers off after they trigger or they'll just flood the place. Either someone fucked up, or they didn't think of adding more gradual zone control to it so the entire warehouse was disabled at once.
bladderinfection
Haha, looks like the only solution was to have paid them a living wage.
KAPTKipper
Officials said the building has a fire suppression system, which was operating but was compromised when a portion of the roof collapsed.
duktayp
I hope the alleged arsonist gets a jury trial
StevenAlleyn
Jury trial is a constitutionally guaranteed right, only reason they’d get a judge trial is if they asked for one
johndoejersey05
They are going to throw soooooo many charges at them to try and force a plea deal. Where there 60 other people in the warehouse at the time? 60 counts of attempted murder.
TheDoctorCrankenstein
20 people in the warehouse but that's just being pedantic. You're right, still.
peosratta
I didn't get the impression he especially cared.
bekkayya
yeah just make up numbers and scenarios to get mad without bothering to check what happened like the last and next 60 fearmonger commentors
Aranon1183
Were there*
ExTechOp
It seems the arsonist was thinking ahead: first a small fire, which was taken care of by the fire suppressor system, and everyone was evacuated. Then fire department comes in to check things, shuts off main valves to prevent further inventory spoilage. Then arsonist starts multiple fires which destroy the place.
InnerBushman
I was wondering why it all burned down. Don't they have fire zones and sprinklers? If what you're saying is true, it now makes sense.
Dysfunkshunill
All you had to do was pay us a living wage…
pastelteapot
All he coulda done is find a different job.
JuliusPepperwoodFromChicago
Yeah! So they can fill his position with another employee who doesn’t earn a living wage.
Grendels2dCousinOnceRemoved
Large employers like Kimberly-Clark are able to set local standards. Most other employers in the area will look to them to see how much they should pay. It's unlikely they will pay more, unless their shop is unionized.

What's more NPC? Sucking a boot spp hard you can taste the foot sweat through the leather? Or standing up to the ones responsible for making your life shit? Reevaluate yourself.
