NEW YORK (AP) — A fire in a shopping cart on a New York City subway train led to the death of the conductor and injuries to several other people early Friday, and authorities are investigating it as a crime, officials said.
These are trying times that do NOT need additional troubling activities that add to more tragic deaths!
"Fires were reported at three other stations along the same subway line, and authorities are investigating whether one person set all of them in an act of vandalism.
““We are investigating it as a criminal matter,” Deputy Chief Brian McGee said[.]”
Ya’think?
Someone mentally ill under even more stress than usual. Horrible, and the kind of thing that happens when people believe the end times are coming. (I sadly expect we may see a lot of mindless violence when the virus starts getting pervasive in rural red areas.)
More likely an opportunistic arsonist using the current situation to their advantage, especially since multiple consecutive sites were targeted. That indicates someone who took time planning, rather than a stress-related random attack.
Beavis and Butthead acting out since the bars are closed?
