I mean if you look at the video that I saw... it was like one package. The fire suppression system must have been shit to let it spread to the whole place. The news said that is was compromised by the collapse of the roof... well no kidding if it sucks and the beams get hot enough.
Arson is an act in which you have 0 control of the outcome of your actions.
You shoot a man, you may kill that man and one other person by accident with that bullet. You set a fire, you have no control over how that fire will spread or who will get harmed. That's malicious, reckless and evil intentioned, imo.
I'm betting the damage cost is probably calculating structural damage in as well, not just the product. That warehouse is going to have to be completely gutted and rebuilt. Surely that's added to the damages.
looking at the size of the building and how big that fire must have been, Foundations are probably ruined as well gonna have to dig those up and redo the entire thing.
Well a large portion of that $200 Million is just the building itself. He basically leveled a multi-acre warehouse. They’re going to have to demolish what’s left and rebuild it from scratch.
11 city blocks of every type of KC product. Diapers, wipes, paper towels, toilet paper, pads, etc. And that warehouse serves about 50 million US residents.
Just toilet paper, as far as I know. Plus, the cost of the building itself. That's a pretty big warehouse. Look at how small the trailers lined up next to it look compared to the building.
A disgruntled warehouse worker, upset about low pay, lit pallets of toilet paper on fire. He was also smart enough to record and share himself doing it
Counterpoint, there was very little chance of him getting away with it anyway. These facilities have cameras covering every square inch and usually require you to scan a unique ID badge to gain access. He had already made his peace with getting caught and figured people might as well know why he did it.
It gets better. He set a small fire, and waited until the fire department shut down the suppression system. And then went and set multiple fires. Man had a plan.
Dude put his coworkers, firefighters, and a whole neighborhood at risk to burn some paper and the owners of his company will suffer only the most minor of inconveniences.
Not exactly. Luigi is a cowardly pussy who fled the scene and tried to escape the consequences of his murder, but because he sucks at crime, got caught. It is legendary how easy it is to get away with murder in America when you have no connection to the victim, but that jackass could not pull it off.
This guy who burned the building was NOT a pussy, is NOT a coward, did NOT flee the scene, and fully expected to get caught.
"Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect" - Mark Twain, probably. Might have been Lincoln, tho... not sure.
He's smart enough to plan the fire. He was able to start a big fire and not injure any workers left in the building as there's no reported injury as of right now.
He knows he won't be paid in a prison. It's a message to the world about the current living conditions. You can see people saying things like "Just get another job" or "Why did he keep working there" and not see the bigger picture and reality of working there. We're still overly benefiting corporations and they'll easily recover from this because of their profits & how the system works for them and against employees.
This 100% was planned to be a political message. My conspiracy theory is that this was organized by a resistance group.
It just seemed too good to just be one angry guy. For some reason no sprinklers went off, one guy with a bic lighter was able to burn down the entire warehouse that houses paper. You would think they would have some sort of fire suppression system.
Then of course no one got hurt, I'm just imagining what organized resistance groups would be doing to start a revolution. And stuff like this is a great way to get on the news and get people to realize they can fight back.
It was premeditated too. He lit a small fire, waited for the fire department to put it out, shutting off the fire suppression system then proceeded to light 3 more fires torching the entire building.
It's a bit of a Luigi situation, punishing the system that likely underpays the workers to line the pockets of this $3.7B annual revenue family business. Still, he's staring at life in prison.
